Introduction:
Here's my Roar Suicune Stall that I used to climb the UU ladder up to the number 1 spot. It features Mega Steelix, Blissey, Cresselia, Mandibuzz, Quagsire, and Suicune. Hope you enjoy the team :].
Proof of Peak:
Peaked #1 on UU Ladder
The Team:
Steelix-Mega @ Steelixite
Ability: Sand Force
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 Spe
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Rest
- Earthquake
- Heavy Slam
I decided to use Mega Steelix as this teams stealth rocker as it provided me with a good way to handle the Scizor + Mega Manectric core. Although they both have the ability to hit steelix super effectively with Superpower and Flamethrower/Overheat respectively, with the already incredible physical defense and the Max HP, Max special defense EV spread, Mega steelix is able to take those hits and deal a tremendous amount of damage back with Earthquake. The moves are fairly standard with the stealth rocks and dual stab, and rest allows for Steelix to more reliably work as a wall as well as take advantage of the Aroma Therapy support provided by Blissey. Steelix is also this team's way of beating the stall breaker Togekiss set.
Blissey @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
- Toxic
- Aromatherapy
Blissey is an obvious addition to all stall teams and this is not an exception. Blissey acts the teams main Special wall and provides the team with aroma therapy support to heal off any status ailments that has been inflicted on the team as well as allows Suicune and Mega Steelix to click rest and then heal off the sleep without having to wait the full 2 turns. The moves and EV spread is just the standartd set except I decided to put the extra 8 EVs into speed in order to win the speed tie against other Blisseys.
Cresselia @ Fairium Z
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 120 Def / 140 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic
- Moonblast
- Moonlight
- Psychic
Cresselia is an integral part of this team as it allows the team to check powerful threats such as Cobalion, Infernape and Terrakion to name a few. The EV spread allows it to take hits from the aforementioned Pokemon as well as out speed hige threats to this team such as Crawdaunt and Choice band Bewear. Although Bewear is uncommon, without this cresselia spread, it proves to be devastating to this team. I decided to use Farium Z as the item because it can now ohko Crawdaunt and hydreigon, as well as be able to 1v1 Krookodile.
Mandibuzz @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 204 SpD / 56 Spe
Careful Nature
- Roost
- Foul Play
- Knock Off
- Defog
Mandibuzz is mainly on this team as the defogger. It also gives this team a Pokemon capable of using knock off which I believe is crucial to any stall teams as it allows you to get rid of leftovers, life orbs, Choice bands etc. The EV spread allows it to switch in decently well to special attackers such as hydreigon and latias and then knock something off recover whatever HP it lost with roost. The speed allows it to outspeed max speed Adamant Crawdaunt which is useful because it allows it to either knock off its item, or get a tremendous amount of damage off after the crawdaunt has clicked swords dance by using foul play.
Quagsire @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Earthquake
- Scald
- Recover
- Toxic
Much like Blissey, Quagsire was an obvious addition to this Stall team as it serves as an answer to many of the physical set up Pokemon like Mega Altaria, Bisharp, Komoo-o etc. The moves and EVs are just the standard smogon set because I believe it to be the best set available to stall. There really is not much more to say other than emphasize again that its ability to nullify set up sweepers that would threaten stall teams proves to be a very valuable addition to this team.
Suicune @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Def / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Rest
- Scald
- Calm Mind
- Roar
On this team Suicune serves a huge role. That role is that it can single handedly dismantle other stall teams. With pressure, it can effectively PP stall things trying to beat it down while also being able to continuously set up if the opponent decides to constantly switch out instead of attacking in hopes of trying to PP stall Suuicine. Roar is a big part of this set as it allows the team to beat opposing Suicune and Reuniclus by denying them set up, while also slowly dwindling their PP away by forcing them to attack Suicune. Roar also allows Suicune to deny wish passing into any particular Pokemon, which helps the Stall or fat Balance match up. The Ev spread ensures that it lives 5 seismic tosses with leftovers and 4 in the case leftovers are knocked off. This allows it to always set up 1 or 2 Calm minds vs. Blissey before being forced to click rest. The speed allows it to out speed max speed adamant crawdaunt, which at the very least means it can fish for a scald burn. All in all Suicune helps this team beat the match ups that may be harder to beat with out it.
