whats the best stall team for the current meta?
whats the best stall team for the current meta?
i appreciate the help this is definitely better than i could come up with. if you dont mind me asking why is stall so shit in RU? is it just the sheer amount of breakers like offensive metagross, sd virizions, np salazzles and so on or other issues like losing hazard wars vs other playstyles?ngl stall is pretty shitty right now in ru but if you were to build sth it would prob sort of look like this:
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()

i threw this together in like 2 mins so it definitely needs some editing. one thing that immediately comes to mind is the lack of wish support so maybe fitting florges or umbreon somewhere can work but its not 100% necessary to have that. this gets obliterated by virizion too so maybe cress over dragalge is worth it or sth crazy like rindo + counter on quag.quag as a catch all for set up sweepers + wincon w/ curse
mandi + articuno for double fog
helmet arcanine to punish uturn and to pivot on golisopod
dragalge for salazzle, rose and i guess viri?
and regi is regi
maybe so else can chime in here and drop some thoughts on this but i think for a first draft this does ok
I feel morseo hazard removal is p common in the tier and too many threats to account forsheer number of wallbreakers, yes, as well as no particularly solid blanket check ala Chansey or Blissey nor great Defogger
alredy answered this question so ill just quote the response againI noticed that Swellow is able to legally run Hurricane + Heat Wave now in USUM, yet the set presented on the Smogon Dex still has it running Air Slash. Is Air Slash just the more consistent option?
Most of the time you will just click Boomburst and U-Turn, so flying stab is alredy kinda useless. The only time you'll click the flying stab is to revengkill full hp Virizion, so its better to go with something more reliable then hurricane.
Why does Nidoqueen run a special set if its physical attack is higher than its special attack? I didn't see a reason for this, and I was wondering if a physical set would be viable too:
Nidoqueen @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Taunt
Why is donphan considered to be super good in the meta, when a year ago it was a D-Tier mon?
That's kinda cool how meta changes made a noob trap become top tier.To put it most basically, the metagame changed to a state where Donphan's properties were a lot more appealing, enough to overcome its stigma as a noob mon. Physical bulk, Rock resistance, ability to heavily pressure Registeel, and the move combination Earthquake + Knock Off + Ice Shard take advantage of a lot of building trends. Don't use it for Stealth Rock unless you really know what you're doing, though.
Thanks so much! Why didn't I think of that?Don't worry about preventing Sticky Web outright; instead, hit the Galvantula hard as it sets Web up. It'll be too weak to switch in anymore, and you're relatively free to remove it on a later turn.
Another reasoning, Gligar moved up to UU, which was its main competitionWhy is donphan considered to be super good in the meta, when a year ago it was a D-Tier mon?
