Hey, this is my OU stall team. I love Pokemon, but haven't played competitively before, so anyway, to business with my first ever team!!!
Firstly, I knew I wanted an Azelf but it had to be able to help the team, so...
Azelf @ Light Clay
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Spd
Timid Nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- U-turn
- Psychic
Quite unusual as you'd expect stealth rocks from Azelf, but I find this set to be very effective. Reflect against Hippowdon, Tyranitar and other physical attackers and light screen versus Espeon, Politoed, and other special attackers.
Next, I needed, and I mean needed a 'wisper' as I like to call them, and no one is better at will-o-wisp than prankster Sableye...
Sableye (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Prankster
EVs: 236 HP / 120 Def / 136 SDef / 16 Spd
Hardy Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Taunt
- Recover
- Foul Play
The standard prankster set. Taunt destroys Blissey and set-up sweepers, whilst will-o-wisp ruins Conkelldur and Terrakion. Recover is a given and foul play destroys Salamance and Dragonite. I even killed Mandibuzz with it once.
I definitely needed a special sweeper so here comes Blissey (how original)
Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Aromatherapy
- Softboiled
- Seismic Toss
- Toxic
Again the standard set apart from my abandoning of the defense stat completely, if worst comes to worst, I can switch to my Tangrowth. Toxic kills - Seismic toss crushes - softboiled heals, and aromatherapy restores status.
Again, an unoriginal yet highly effective Pokemon was added to my team:
Ferrothorn (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 148 Def / 108 SDef
Relaxed Nature (+Def, -Spd)
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball
Do I really need to explain this? :P Protect every other turn, Gyro Ball fast attackers, Power whip Hippowdon and water-types, and leech seed first unless hurt by spikes. (unless against a set-up 'er')
My favourite pokemon of all time:
Tangrowth (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SAtk
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Power Whip
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Leech Seed
- Sleep Powder
1) Sleep
2) Seed
3) KILL!!!!
I love Tangrowth, and not much can absorb Power whip and HP Fire. Slays Blissey if I pretend to only have special attacks, and the same with Milotic.
Finally..
Gyarados (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Intimidate
EVs: 156 HP / 72 Atk / 96 Def / 184 Spd
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Dragon Dance
- Taunt
- Waterfall
- Stone Edge
Easily absorbs the fire attacks that Tangrowth and Ferrothorn attract, and can do some serious damage. I love taunt on this set as it cripples stallers, and common set-up sweepers.
I do lack, however, a phaser, which can at times, although not commonly because of taunt, be detrimental to my performance. Anyway, any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!
