Well, I always wanted to make a full Stall team, but when I first tried it.. it didn't go well.. I tried lots of things... but when doing this testing.. I found 2 amazing walls.. And a great lead.. So i had 3 pokemon with stalling skills, so i decided to use 3 more but this time for attacking, so with the apropiate hazards.. They'd be able to take out a lot of Pokemon with little effort.. so here it is.. the team building..
As said before.. I had a great lead.. Able to Set up Stealth Rock, Spikes and Toxic Spikes, Access to Rapid Spin, the ability Sturdy.. This guy is just awesome. And because of my team, i think this guy makes a good lead, for the things mentioned above.
I told you.. that I had 3 pokemon that made a good job in previous teams.. so here is the other one..
Yes! Ferrothorn.. I know that I have 2 weaknesses to Fire.. but this guy is AWESOME as a Tank and Annoyer.. I need him in this team to resist attacks, and to scout opponents at times. His great typing leaves only 2 weaknesses that are easiliy covered, and because Forretress is most like a Suicide-Lead.. I think he will make a good Job!.
And the last guy for the Stall team is..
Porygon2 and Eviolite.. are a real BIG and annoying wall. Almost every NFE Pokemon with Eviolite is annoying, but I like this guy because of its ability: Trace. With this ability he can be a counter for a lot of Pokemon, and resist a lot. I love this guy.
So I had the 3 members of my stall team, but now I need pure ofense.. and lets see.. i have 2 weaknesses to Fight and 2 weaknesses to Fire.. so I think I have someone to make this Job.
Yeah, Chandelure with Flash Fire can abosorb Fire, and is Inmune to fight.. So this guy is all I need to cover 2 weaknesses.
And while I was making some tests.. I found a guy that is indeed amazing, its able to make a lot of OHKO with the help of hazards, and without them too. So I think he will fit perfectly in this team, and now meet my Staraptor:
Its able to deal a lot of damage to a lot of pokemon, and its covered by Ferrothorn, so I think I'll have no problem with it.. But just to be sure.. I'll add another guy.. that is considered the new Machamp of this gen, yes, Im talking about Conkeldurr.
Hell Yeah! Conkeldurr is a beast when It manages to set up, and its design is soo cool.. hah, and its my best way to deal Priority damage..
Well, 3 Pokemon for Stalling, and 3 for attacking.. I just love it! As Ash said once.. The best Offense is the best Defense.. Yeah!
K.. I think it's time to look the Team In-Depth
Forretres@Custap Berry
Trait: Sturdy
Nature: Brave (+Atk/-Spd)
Evs: 252 Atk/100 Def/152 Sp. Def/ [0 Iv's Spd]
Moves:
-Stealth Rock
-Toxic Spikes
-Gyro Ball
-Explosion
The set is pretty obvious.. just set up Stealth Rock.. and Toxic Spikes if Posible, then BOOOM!! Against Taunt leads, GyroBall because of STAB and its low speed, will deal a lot of damage, and the main reason i dont make it highly denfensive, is because i want to activate Custap Berry to explode. So Politoed lead, without Hypnosis nor Encore, will have a hard time against this guy.
Ferrothorn@Leftovers
Trait: Iron Thorns
Nature: Sassy (+Sp.Def/-Spd)
Evs: 252 HP/252 Sp.Def/[0 Iv's Spd]

Nature: Adamant (+Atk/-Sp Atk)
Evs: 252 Atk/ 120 HP/136 Sp. Def

-Bulk Up

And there is the Sinergy Table.. as you can see.. I have 6 inmunities, 13 0,5x resistances, and 10 0,5x weaknesses. This, in conjuction with the stall Pokemon, and the Sweepers, are going to give a Hard time to my opponent.

Ferrothorn@Leftovers
Trait: Iron Thorns
Nature: Sassy (+Sp.Def/-Spd)
Evs: 252 HP/252 Sp.Def/[0 Iv's Spd]
Moves:
-Curse
-Protect
-Leech Seed
-GyroBall
CurseThorn FTW! Yeah... With this set, I can take out anything that doesn't have a Fire Attack, nor Fight Attack, but if boosted, Ferrothorn can take the hit without problems. The set is pretty obvious, Leech Seed + Protect + Leftovers = Almost 25% or more HP recovery, so this is really useful when using Curse, because the damage dealt will become less each turn, and the HP gained, will be more. And Curse gives more Base Power to GyroBall, and if paralyzed, Ferrothorn has a Speed of 2, which gives GyroBall an amazingly base power of 150.
Porygon2@Eviolite
Trait: Trace
Nature: Bold (+Def, -Atk)
Evs: 252 HP/ 216 Def/ 40 Sp. Atk
Moves:
-Toxic
-Recover
-Discharge
-Ice Beam
A variant of the BoltBeam combo. Discharge is chosen because of the 30% chande of Paralysis, and If SereneGrace is traced, it increases to 60%. Toxic, if the rival used rapid spin, or a Poison-Type Pokemon, and used for toxic stall. Recover because with Eviolite Porygon2 can't hold Leftovers, which is missed. But it's really helpful, speciall when you're health is under 25%, you use recover, and your opponent is pissed of.
Chandelure@Choice Scarf
Trait: Flash Fire
Nature: Modest (+Sp. Atk/-Atk)
Evs: 252 Spd/252 Sp. Atk/4 HP
Moves:
-Overheat
-Shadow Ball
-Energy Ball
-Psychic/Hidden Power[Ground]/Hidden Power[Fighting]
When it's hitted by a Fire Attack.. It's dangerous. Overheat because it will be making a lot of Hit-n-Runs, and even when it's at -2 or -4 is able to do OHKO's. It can kill Excadrill trying to use SD in the "Switch", but Overheat takes care of it. Shadow Ball is used because of STAB, and ghosts. EnergyBall is mainly for Swampert and Quagsire. In the last slot is where I have problems. Psychic helps against Infernape, and some Fightings. Hidden Power Ground is because of Heatran. And Hidden Power Fighting because of T-tar, and the same Heatran. The difference is in the Base Power, and the weakness of each pokemon to each attack.
Staraptor@Choice Scarf
Trait: Reckless
Nature: Adamant (+Atk -Sp.Atk)
Ev's: 252 Atk/252 Spd/4HP
Moves:
-Brave Bird
-Close Combat
-Double Edge
-U-turn
Great Ability.. And 2 STAB moves beneficted by it. For me is the best revenge killer. Unfortunately, those 2 attacks means that it will be killed slowly, but it will deal a lot of damage to all those things that doesn't resist one of both attacks. Close Combat for covering, and U-Turn for scouting.
Conkeldurr@Leftovers
Trait: Guts
Nature: Adamant (+Atk/-Sp Atk)
Evs: 252 Atk/ 120 HP/136 Sp. Def
Moves:
-Bulk Up
-Drain Punch
-Mach Punch
-Payback
The Ev's spread is done because i really need to survive a Chandelure Overheat, or a Psychic for anything that doesn't get STAB. Bulk Up is for Increasing attack and defense, and then Conkeldurr will rape everything with Drain Punch and Mach Punch. Payback is mainly for Ghosts. I prefer Leftovers, because i want to recover HP each turn, and i'll confuse my opponent and they will try to send Will o Wisp or toxic, and Guts will be Activated, and i'll regain a little HP.
And there is the Sinergy Table.. as you can see.. I have 6 inmunities, 13 0,5x resistances, and 10 0,5x weaknesses. This, in conjuction with the stall Pokemon, and the Sweepers, are going to give a Hard time to my opponent.
