Gen 3 stall team

Hot Nikkels

Regice @ Leftovers
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 204 HP / 128 Def / 176 SAtk
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Psych Up
- Rest
- Thunder

pretty typical, special wall and main Celebi counter, I'm not great with EVs how do they look?

Forretress (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Sturdy
EVs: 244 HP / 70 Atk / 196 Def
Impish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Hidden Power [Ghost]
- Rapid Spin
- Spikes

hits ghosts and does his usual job

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 188 HP / 80 Def / 240 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Thunderbolt

Flying resist, takes status, can last a good while too,

Suicune @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 68 Spd / 88 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Ice Beam
- Roar
- Substitute
- Surf

stays in and annoys the hell out of people basically, works alot like subskarm, 3 Pressure pokes are nice

Flygon (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 204 HP / 220 Atk / 56 Def / 28 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Flamethrower
- Rock Slide
- Screech

Not incredibly confident about this guy, but he walls TTar well enough, is to some extent fast and can hit hard and force switches, not the best SkarmBliss-type counter but he works ok. Any better ideas?

Dusclops (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 100 Def / 64 Spd / 92 SDef
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Pain Split
- Seismic Toss
- Taunt
- Will-O-Wisp

prevents spinning and beats the hell out of non CB Lax
 
Regice needs max HP. Thunderbolt over Thunder.
Forretress is fine. Zapdos is fine.
Suicune is fine, but consider Calm Mind over Roar. Flygon needs a Choice Band, and Earthquake/Rock Slide/HP Bug/Fire Blast.
Dusclops wants Focus Punch over Seismic Toss.
 
No offense but you're kind of just telling me to use the standards and not telling me why. Why does Regice need max HP when 352 gives him the most efficient leftovers recovery, and instead putting it into defenses? Why CBGon and not Screechgon? Why Focus Punch on Clops when he teakes on Lax fine and doesnt need to fear Blissey? Is it worth it for just Tar/Doom?
 
regice and forretress should have max HP because their HP outstrips their defenses to give it overall better defenses, iirc. i prefer 216 def evs on forretress to get an extra stat point but thats just me.
stalk zapdos usually has max hp, almost max spdef, and a bit of speed to beat out tar.
unless dusclops' purpose is to beat curselax, taunt is sorta ineffective on him, imo, because hes so slow.

you have to be very careful about cbmence. with a restless suicune it can hit hard on all the members of your team.
sub/punch/rock move ttar might be annoying to take out, especially since suicune cant heal itself.
wish support might help suicune/flygon/forrey. maybe jirachi > zapdos.
 
Your team is pretty good, but that suicune really needs rest. If it can't heal itself then its job as a wall can only last for a few switch-ins.
 
Zapdos definitely needs max HP when Resting. You can even whore its defense a little to fend of Aero and Sala Rock at situational moments. If you really want to pressure whore and annoy with suicune while still being able to phaze, you might run Rest/Sleep Talk/Roar/Surf. Whatever you decide on, Suicune definitely needs some kind of health income. The real problem is the fact that you get locked in stall wars with opposing Regices, especially with Suicune not being able to rest after a Thunderbolt/Para. I'm not sure how to fix that one.
 
Synch is right. Suicune without rest is pretty stupid. Also calm mind is what makes suicune scary, so i would probably just use good ol rest/ice beam/surf/calm mind. It never fails.
 
max zapdos's hp for 384, 352 HP on regice is sweet. thunderbolt > thunder, and who leads with regice?
 
Well, it screws Zapdos leads, and Salamence/Aerodactyl really do not want to take the risk of Ice Beam as long as you've got the balls to stay in. It's also decent against water-type leads, like Vaporeon. It's a good anti-starter.

I used Forretress with HP Ghost once. It does the job effectively as long as you can use Forretress properly, which I personally can't.
