I've been using this team for a few weeks nice to very good success. It's made many people run since they get tired of trying to wear me down w/ most of my pokemon having slack off or roost. I feel this team works very well together covering each other's weaknesses!


Hippodown @leftovers
Impish
252 hp/168 def/88 spD
Earthquake
Slack Off
Stealth Rock
Ice Fang

Hippo is my lead and it aims to lay down stealth rock and starts the sandstorm. Ice Fang is for Aerodactyl since they usually taunt the first turn. He's also a great T-Tar and Salamence counter. EQ hits T-Tar hard and Ice Fang usually OHKO's Salamence w/ SR damage. The 88 ev's in special defense has come in handy soooo many times!!!

Tentacruel @leftovers (Liquid ooz for Leech Seeders)
Calm
252 hp/120 def/136 spD
Toxic Spikes
Rapid Spin
Surf
Knock Off

This takes water/grass/ice/fire attacks that are aimed at Hippodown and Skarmory. This is my rapid spinner. It lays down Toxic Spikes to help w/ more stalling. Surf is for STAB and Giga Drain WAS there because lot of people switch in Swampert against me and also against other waters. Giga Drain hardly did any damage so I switched it to Knock Off for the leftover users. Tentacruel makes a GREAT partner with my next member of my team. Liquid ooz has surprised many Celebi.

Skarmory @ leftovers
Impish
252 HP / 64 Atk / 176 Def / 16 Spe
Roost
Spikes
Whirlwind
Brave Bird

This is the traditional spiker and a great partner to Tentacruel, covering each other's weakness very very well. Roost allows me to recover damage. The ev's let me out-speed T-Tar and Vaporeon and roost off damage before they attack. Brave Bird is there in case I go up against a Gyarados...it does more damage than drill peck. Whirlwind lets me shuffle the opponents team and rack up damage and just annoy the crap out of them.

Weezing @ Black Sludge
Bold
252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SpA
Flamethrower
Thunderbolt
Pain Split
Will-o-Wisp

This is a great pokemon w/ only 1 weakness. I bring it in against Gyarados, Flygon, Breloom, and steels like Lucario, Forretress or the dreaded Scizor. The ev's let me 2KO Skarmory w/ Flamethrower. It's also good against Machamp, but usually I send in my next pokemon for a fighter.

Dusknoir @ Leftovers - Impish
EVs: 252 HP / 28 Atk / 124 Def / 124 SpD
Ability: Pressure
Moves:
~ Pain Split
~ Seismic Toss
~ Shadow Sneak
~ Will-O-Wisp

This is my counter to most fighters and rapid spinners. It comes in on a fighting attack and W-O-W to hurt their attempt to sweep. Also if Starmie or Tentacruel come out, I'll bring out Dusknoir to block a spin attempt. Shadow sneak is for ghosts and starmie. Seismic toss is for consistent damage.


Blissey@Leftovers
Bold
252HP/252 Def/6 SpD
-Seismic Toss
-Toxic
-Wish
-Protect

I need a wish passer so who better for the job than the #1 special wall in the game. It's pretty simple: come in on a special attack, wish as they switch causing more SR/Spikes damage, and protect. Than switch out depending on what the opponent does.

As I've said, I've done pretty good with this team. Any suggestions are appreciated!

This looks like a very well put together Stall Team

I'd suggest replacing your Dusknoir with a Standard Rotom-h

Rotom-h @ Leftovers
Bold
252 HP / 168 Def / 88 Spe
Thunderbolt
Shadowball
Overheat
Will-O-Wisp

This gives you a little better option against some things like Scizor and Lucario and even Gyarados, as well as being the best spin blocker in the game (overheat threatens Foretress and T-bolt threatens the afore mentioned Statmie and Tentacruel.) You still get WoW here, and only lose an admittedly poor recovery move. If you want more recovery, you could try the Rest-Talk set, but sometimes it becomes setup bait.

EDIT:Minor Nitpick, Black Sludge is not a good option because it can be re-tricked onto one of your other pokemon, I'd suggest replacing Weezings Black Sludge for a more standard Leftovers

I'd have to agree with master militia on replacing dusknoir with rotom-h because it for one can stop all three (lucario, scizor and gyarados) from setting up unlike dusknoir who can possibly stop these three but after swords dance or dragon dance, dusknoir wouldn't do much to these pokemon. And by the way I also want to say that this team has a great build and it looks like you spent a fair bit of time on it! Godd luck with this team, and I hope my suggestion helped you!
