DisclaimerThis post was originally scheduled for the 1st of April. After being informed that some sort of “April Tomfoolery” takes place on that day every year, I decided to postpone this post until today, since this team is very serious and real and super awesome and cool. Big Stall apologizes for the delay and thanks you for your support. Prepare for the greatest RMT in Smogon history.
The Teamhttps://pokepast.es/5cf84f27418c036b
Introduction/ PeakHere at Big Stall we are open to NEW and EXCITING ideas. We recently learned that standard stall was actually bad and we should stop using it. But we thought to ourselves, what could fix this problem? What single mon could save us?
The ABSOLUTE GOAT
is the only thing that can save Big Stall. does so much damage! OHKOs 
! Why was even banned? Does the OU council know exists? Are they stupid?We realized
was actually the GOAT of every tier so we have a peak in multiple.Gen 9 OUGen 9 UbersGen 9 National Dex Ubers Teambuilding ProcessWe started out with
(the best mon in the game). is running Facade (for BIG damage), Quick Attack (for PRIORITY damage), Brave Bird (for BIRD damage), and Lash Out (to kill 
because is the single most annoying mon of all time and should be banned RIGHT NOW. It’s absolutely ridiculous that is still in the tier. We NEED to take action against . How is it fair that is immune to Defog? How is it fair that is immune to Rapid Spin? is a menace to our society and we as a people will not be able to move forward unless we ban RIGHT NOW). is holding a 
to awaken it’s unmatched power with Guts. It’s tera type is Normal to boost its unbelievable, awesome, terrifying damage even further.
Next we added Big Stall’s mascot,
. We usually wouldn’t even need to use but since exists we needed to use an ENTIRE teamslot to counter . is running Flamethrower (to kill [who we should ban now]), Body Slam (to paralyze [who is an absolutely evil monster]), Calm Mind (to better survive hits from [the most broken mon in the game]), and Soft Boiled (to heal off damage from [who does not belong in the tier]). holds a 
to dissuade people from hiting it with physical attacks (’s one true weakness). It’s tera type is Fire, the absolute best type to survive (the biggest threat to Big Stall)’s Make it Rain.
The next member was obvious. We need hazards. Big Stall loves hazards. So we added the single best hazard setter in the game:
. has access to the best hazard ever: Sticky Webs. Sticky Webs drops the opponent’s speed stat by one stage. This is absolutely invaluable on a stall team. Besides Sticky Webs, is running Chilling Water (to make physical attackers scream in terror), Infestation (to trap the screaming physical attackers), and Body Slam (to paralyze [who must be paying off the OU playerbase to stay free]). holds a 
to improve the duration of Infestation. It’s tera Fire because it’s fire.
Next was a bit of a wildcard. A mon that has basically no niche in any tier it’s ever been in. Something that no one would ever expect on an OU team. This mon was none other than
. I know. Completely unviable, right? Well as it turns out, it has a valuable asset for stall. This secret weapon is Tailwind. Tailwind allows the GOAT outspeed basically anything. Nothing is capable of beating under Tailwind. also runs some NICHE, unheard move called Spikes. Spikes apparently damages Pokémon as the switch in to the field? I had no idea. But this is actually pretty good for since it broke the BROKEN item Focus Sash. also runs Toxic Spikes so the king can style on his TOXIC enemies and show them the REAL boss. Finally, has U-Turn so that you can easily switch into if things get bad. holds a 
to activate it’s niche ability, Poison Heal. It’s never going to tera (once again, is just more useful).
The penultimate member of the team is OU staple
. gets another entree hazard called Spikes, which does the same thing as Stealth Rock but only to mons that aren’t flying. I have no idea why you would even want this but it’s a hazard so Big Stall wants it anyways. is also running Rapid Spin (mostly to counter opposing Sticky Web [a major annoyance for Big Stall]), Bullet Seed (for BIG BRAMBLIN DAMAGE!!!!!!!!), and Leech Seed to provide healing for . holds a 
in order to deal even more BIG BRAMBLIN DAMAGE to the opponent. It’s tera type doesn’t matter.
Finally we have another bird. Since all birds can SQUAWK TUAH, this bird is basically a
. And that’s a BIG honor. This bird is . also gets OU staple move Tailwind, which it uses for a similar reason to . is our third Body Slam user, which is very important to counter (the dark lord). ’s last two moves are Roost (mostly to heal off any damage the evil, nefarious tyrant deals it) and U-Turn to pass the torch to the true goat . holds a 
in order to make it always goes last so that doesn’t take damage on the switch. Like the rest, is never going to tera because is the only mon on the team that will ever be useful. Threat List ReplaysGen 9 Ubers:
