Simply, a team

-Absol-

First of all, sorry for my bad english, i'll try to be more correct as possible, but there should be some grammatical errors :/
The idea of this team was borned from the riflession that generally solid teams are more effectively than other kinds. So i decided to build a stall team.
This team isn't original; and it doesnt' want to be so neither. So, I ask you to focus especially on the effectiveness of it ^^

Tyranitar (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 Atk / 176 SDef / 80 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Superpower
- Stone Edge

Tyranitar is here for several reasons: first of all, it places the sandstorm, that is important because, being the team based on indirect damages, the sstorm would be a good support. Besides it is a good answer to trickers ( it's incredible as a stall team is trolled by trickers!). But the real reason of the insertion of Tyranitar is the "trapkill" of antispinners, and the countering of some psychic types ad Reuniculus, that's ohkoed by Cband Crunch. 80 EVs in speed let him to outspeed Politoed and Skarmory who don't invest Evs in speed, or only 4 points.

Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SAtk / 252 SDef
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Wish
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam

Wish + Calm Mind permit Blissey to be a good wisher for the rest of the team , but also to have a good recovery: Calm mind Blissey is an incredible wall for so much pokèmon, as Volcarona, but also Thundurus, and others.

Jellicent (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP / 96 Def / 116 SDef / 44 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Scald
- Ice Beam

Jellycent is the obvious antispinner: Scald + wow may result similiar (and i have also toxic spikes!) but in battle burns are very useful, and sometimes is bettere to have a pokèmon burned, that poisoned, and many pokèmon are not affected from Toxis spikes. 44 evs in speed outspeed Scizor who not invests evs in speed.

Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Stealth Rock
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip

I'm considerating shed shell on Leftovers, but fortunately Magnezones aren't so popular, so for now i decided to give him lefties. What can I say about him...we all know his usefulness

Tentacruel (M) @ Black Sludge
Trait: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
- Scald
- Knock Off

Tentacruel is a very good pokèmon: it places Toxic spikes better of everyone and is certainly a good spinner, especially with the Tyranitar's support. Knock off with the sand is pretty, but i can also switch that with another moves.

Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 40 Def / 216 SDef
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird

Skarmory is a good swicth to dragons, obv. It places the last hazard, Spikes. It is a good choice also for shuffle a pokèmon that is overpowa in a moment (shell smash, and similiar) thanks to study


I wrote a lot of obvietis: i'd like to explain better the role of each pokèmon, but i'm afraid of making grammatical errors, and anyway there isn't so much to explain about stall teams :/
I hope you'll like this

P.S : I haven't tried that on smogon's server yet, in other servers it's very good, but first of try it on smogon i wanted to post here and i'd like to receive some rates for improve it =)
 
Ok, I know it would be a drastic change but I recommend using a Sub-Seed Abomosnow over Tyranitar. Excadrills and Landorus (sandstorm teams in general) are so common so you'll just be helping them out. I also recommend another phazer since you your goal is to have so much hazards up. Another phazer will speed up the process.

Sorry I couldn't give you a better rate. I might add on to this later.

Gl :)
 
I understand
but the hail isn't "dangerous"? I haven't resistors of hail :/

another phazer is interesting but on what :/
 
If this was me I'd give Ferrothorn Spikes and swap in Air Balloon Heatran over Skarmory

Heatran (F) @ Air Balloon
Trait: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Spe / 252 SAtk / 4 SDef
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Stealth Rock
- Magma Storm/Fire Blast
- Dragon Pulse
- Earth Power
 
Putting different entry hazards on different Pokemon won't do you well. You could use Forretress and get all your entry hazards in with one poke.
 
Firstly I second the above.
Secondly consider removing Thunderbolt or Ice Beam off Blissey for Protect, this allows Blissey to Wish itself without taking a second which could kill and thus make the wish useless.
I'd also give Ferrothorn spikes and swap Skarm for that Heatran Baller King SAZ posted above.
Hope This helps!
 
It's a good team overall, but even stall teams need a bit of offence on them, and with all the entry hazards a late game sweeper could be promising, maybe an Excadrill or Landourorus could do the trick. Also on your Blissey, instead of Running 252 SDef EVs,run 252 HP EVs, because it helps Blissey take physical hits better and give it more HP to pass wishes. Finally your team could get ripped apart by mix-ape if Tenatacruel and Jellicient are off the field. If it was Gen 4 I'd say use Rotom-W but after losing it's ghost typing I can't give you a solid counter that can take a role on your team.
Anyway I hope my advice helped, good luck
