Hello everyone, this is my first time playing competitive ranked and i've decided on building a stall team. Yeah it's more or less going to look like typical stall builds that are posted in here of course everyone has their little tweaks to the lists. But i'm not sure on what i should be adding and truthfully i'm pretty bad when it came to testing it out. I'm hoping to get some advice before saturday to help me out before i head to a local tournament. thanks again for help!
Lets get started with the team
Grimmsnarl @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Thunder Wave
- Spirit Break
So he's probably my starter with corsola to setup light screen and reflect so i can dynamax one of my other pokemon later to make sure they take as little damage as possible. He also has thunder wave so i can use that as a leadup to dynamax as well and pray my opponent stays disabled so i can take full advantage. He also uses spirit break to lower opponents sp attack since anything to reduce the damage is helpful. i used to use orbeetle since it would give me access to sticky web as well but grimmsnarl was just 100x better.
Corsola-Galar @ Eviolite
Ability: Cursed Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Strength Sap
- Will-O-Wisp
- Night Shade
Corsola is usually thrown out to set stealth rocks and possibly will o wisp something to get as much status/hazards down since it's bulky self can take a hit or two then i can strength sap to bring myself back up. This pokemon has a good typing so if i swap him out i can safely bring him in if there are physical attackers due to the ghost typing.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic
- Baneful Bunker
- Recover
Toxapex one of the basic walls that's going to toxic and recover his way to victory. The use of baneful bunker is also to protect and aid in keeping our boy alive. Currently i kinda like baneful bunker but i've also been seeing haze in its place to eliminate the buffs my opponents obtain by swords dance, bulk up, calm mind, etc etc. Toxapex is usually amazing to switch into when i have ferrothorn out to bait the fire based move.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Knock Off
- Body Press
- Gyro Ball
Ferrothorn is probably my favorite pokemon in this team due to his iron barbs and having leech seed to regain as much life while sitting there and taking hits. Usually, when ferrothorn comes out it's a given that my opponent is going to throw a fire based move out. I have gyro ball because 0 speed and i use body press over stealth rocks because i don't need 2 stealth rock setters. I just really like ferrothorn, and I figured he fit into the team pretty well.
Sylveon @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Wish
- Protect
- Calm Mind
Sylveon is my special wall with the wish package. I also needed a good fairy to have more coverage across the different matchups and also toput down the hydreigon and dragapults. Wish is the only healing method outside of the held leftovers which i can either pass it to a pokemon or use protect to heal myself and guarantee the heal.
Centiskorch (M) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Fire Lash
- Leech Life
- Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
i chose this pokemon for the reason of eating fire based moves and his bulky body can eat other special based moves.
