Serene stall

Shineygengar

this is my stalling team that i use in-game against people who think they can just use legends and win, you know those people, who barely know the difference between spa and atk.

it is also my first stall team.

but i also use it for competitive so here it is!
feel fully free to kill me with comments of meanness, since this isn't my best team, and i might not ever use this team ever again.
oh if you guys don't mind, i like posting EVs below everything else.

mew_01.jpg

lady gaga (Mew) @ leftovers
ability: synchronize
impish nature (+def -spa)
- stealth rock
- thunder wave
- roost
- roar
EVs: 252 hp/ 252 def/ 4 spe

mew is basically my paraspreader and SR setup. i set up stealth rock right away, and then either roost off the damage i gained on the first turn, or thunder wave and roar them out for the next poke to get paralized. yep, mew is pretty simple, just keep going until she dies. i chose her for the main purpose of setting up anything, it took a day or so to decide on the moves but the original set was, stealth rock, sub, roost, barrier, but it didn't have enough "kick" or purpose.

deoxys-attack.jpg

Watch Me (Deoxys-A) @ focus sash
ability: pressure
modest nature (+spa -atk)
- pyschic
- taunt
- ice beam
- thunder bolt
EVs: 4 hp/ 252 spa/ 252 spe

mainly a revenge killer, if he is anything other than that he is a taunter, with 150 base spe and 252 spe evs. i would run timid on it but its not a spikes lead and normally comes in late game so it wouldn't be that effective.

149_dragonite_1_m.png

Ridley (dragonite) @ life orb
ability: innerfocus
adamant nature (+atk -spa)
- dragon dance
- extreme speed
- dragon claw
- earthquake
EVs: 156 hp/ 252 atk/ 100 spe

this is my main offensive back up. i use it against things i can't stall. i also send it in as my back up if deoxys is taken out before he can taunt, and ddance while they set up entry hazards, but by the time there done i normally have +6 spe and atk so its kind of a gg right there (because after i take out the entry hazard poke, not much else can stop me). i never bring this in on skarmory.

shedinja_01.jpg

PORE (shedinja) @ focus sash
ability: wonder guard
adamant nature (+atk -spa)
- protect
- heal block
- theif
- confuse ray
EVs: 4 hp/ 252 atk/ 252 spe
^
lol

well, this is basically support for the rest of the team. not much prediction here, protect on offensive pokemon, heal block on walls such as lugia and blissey. theif can be used on pokemon while they break my focus sash, unless they are paralized witch i would use theif on the second turn of my 2 turn life span. confuse ray because most pokemon will be paralized from mews awesome paraphazing.

Arceus_Steel.png

Maiden (Arceus-steel) @ steel plate
ability: what else dude, its an arceus
impish nature (+def -spd)
- recover
- cosmic power
- iron head
- stone edge
EVs: 100 hp/ 100 atk/ 100 def/ 100 spd/ 100 spe

a all around switch in for types i'm weak to, like for when i don't want shedinja to die. since its in-game, the arceus can only have 100 evs each stat, so its not a waste to use a couple of attacking moves on this set.

giratina_02.jpg

LOLZ (giratina) @ leftovers
ability: pressure
sassy nature (+spd -spe)
- spite
- rest
- sleeptalk
- roar
EVs: 204 hp/ 152 def/ 152 spd
IVs,
0 spe

heres the cap on the bottle, spite roar restalk, what else to ya need. pp stalling most pokemon and spin blocking anything. i may change this later, but i can't think of anything else that usefull. i always wanted to spite/pp stall but never found a pokemon who could pull it off.

like i said, its not my best team, but i put a lot of work into it. it needs more testing but i don't think i'll be using it online unless its a special occasion. but i will continue to beat kids that use ubers with my first and epic stall.

thank you for your time and comments

p.s. : i love nicknaming pokemon
 
You want some attacking option on mew.
Ex. Overheat for lead groudon

Psycho boost>pyschic

Rayquaza>dragonite
Dragonite and rayquaza basically have the same bulk and typing, except rayquaza hits harder. It does the same thing, but better because it is faster too. Keep the moveset except outrage>dragon claw.

You might want to replace shedinjia. It's not that useful because most pokemon have a move that can kill it and it doesn't help the team much.
If you don't want to change it,
Will-o-wisp>confuse ray
Shadow sneak>theif
Sucker punch> heal block

Also arceus can have more than 100 evs in each stat do to the feather steroids.

Why would you have a sassy nature on giratina? There's not much tr in ubers, and you don't set it up anyways. There's a chance you might outspeed another giratina so give it regular evs.

Giratina already has pressure. It doesn't need spite too.
Dragon tail> roar
Will-o-wisp>spite
 
All I have time for is a very quick rate. here goes....

Mew - Taunt makes this pokemon useless. Replace Roar or Thunderwave with a move like Psychic, or Psyshock, so you can at least damage pokemon with taunt.

Deoxys-A - You have no way to prevent Stealth Rock, or Sandstorm from going up, so chances are that your Focus Sash will already be broken. I'd replace it with a Life Orb. Psychic is a bad type move for an offensive pokemon (very few other things work for things like mew). I'd replace it with Superpower, to maim things like Bliussey or Tyranitar.

Dragonite - Looks fine I guess.....

Shedinja - You have no way of Stopping SR, like I said! Thief is TERRABLE, and Confuse Ray and Heal block are both very situational! Replace that moveset with something like: Swords Dance/X-Scizor/Shadow Sneak/Shadow Claw. IF YOU EVEN KEEP IT!!! It's very hard to use Shedinja anyway, and it's only really good on teams built around it!!!

Arceus - meh, ok I guess....


Giratina - YOU ARE MAULED BY TAUNTERS!!!!!!!!!!! Replace Spite with Dragon Claw!

Really though, there are TONS of internal problems. For example:

Dragonite is NOT a great pokemon in Ubers. Why not something like Rayquaza? It can do everything your Dragonite can do, but with MUCH more power (heck, it might even have better overall bulk!!!) SO WHY USE DRAGONITE!?!?!?!

I'm sorry, but I'd scrape this team. Go read some of the other RMTs, and see how other people built their teams.


Sorry for being kind of harsh, but it is the truth =[
 
First off Deoxs-a is not a good stalled he should be replaced by MewTwo who is much better see he has good bulk and great spa. Also if you keep Deoxs A put Super Power on it Tyranitar kills your whole team if Arceus goes down. MewTwo also has Aura Sphere to hit Tyranitar and can support with Screens or taunt. So if you make changes great team.

i just read a couple other RMT's and dragon tail sounds like a great option.
the thing is, mew has so much thunder wave spreading potential that will o whisp and toxic don't do much to already paralized pokemon :) spite was just to help to process. also, psychoboost sharply lowers spa, and without scarf or specs i don't really plan on switching that much.

now i can't remember why i put dragonite on this team, on my current team i have the same set on rayquaza. so if i use it i'll switch him to quaza

yep, not my worst team though. like replied above i will change dragonite if i ever use this team. and taunt does ruin mew, so if i replace thunder wave with psyshock i can have will o whisp on giratina. i haven't seen much SR in ubers, the team was origanaly made to kill kids like i said, so the only non-offensive move of theres would be dark void, and thats what taunt on deoxys was for. the only entry hazards i've seen come from forretress, witch i can taunt. instead of dragon claw, i am going with dragon tail, to force switches with a little less power, and maybe will o whisp or something. shedinja is to stop blissey and other walls like lugia, even if i get killed. basically shedinja is a suicide support, allouying deoxys and, well rayquaza to kill things they couldn't.

its ok for you being harsh, its not like i didn't ask for it when posting this team.

mewtwo would be nice, but i could just as easily put screens on mew. deoxys is the attacking pokemon to keep them off there feet, forcing switches with psychic, ice beam, thunder bolt or taunt. not much of a "stall" set but it keeps the game moving and he is my main switch in to CM and dancers.

changes if i use this team again:

psychock > thunder wave on mew
maybe light screen > roost on mew, because the team is already amazingly defensive, light screen would cover anything else.

dragonite > rayquaza i don't remember why i even put dragonite on here, and with the same exact moves rayquaza is a thousand times better. although the only reason i'd keep dragonite is to run a sub-ddance roost, witch sometimes worked for me on a previous team.

shedinja,
heal block
swords dance
shadow sneak (without thunder wave support i need to attack first)
x-scissor

ok, i've got something new,
either,
giratina
painsplit i haven't worked with pain split before, so maybe restalk not subsplit
substitute
calm mind (this would work considering giratina is my main sp defensive)
dragon pulse/draco meteor/shadow ball

giratina
shadow force (does this work? maybe not)
rest
sleep talk
dragon tail

thanks for the comments guys, if i use it again, it will be with the changes above.
 
well one of the problems i see with this team is against other stall teams, you dont really have a cleric, and taunt runs this team into the ground. As far as shedinja, its not that good in ubers because of all the sun there are many fire attacks, many drizzle teams run ice beam as a second attack, groudon has rock, if stealth rocks are up.....the list goes on. Rayquaza is better than dnite unless you want to run multiscale, but rayquaza has much more versatility due to both sides having huge attack stats so hes harder to predict around. Also for a stall team you want more status like a toxic spiker or a wower to slow down physical attackers. team has really good synergy, but mewtwo can kill 4 of your pokes, and shaymin s outspeeds all except deoxys so you might find yourself being subseeded or flinchraped. maybe put forretress over mew to put up tspikes and to keep a steel and go arceus normal over steel to get a better attacker. Just some thoughts, good luck
