Eh, my first try at a stall team. I pretty much just try to get Toxic Spikes down and stall the other team to death.
Gliscor (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Hyper Cutter
EVs: 252 HP/4 Atk/252 Def
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
- Earthquake
- Ice Fang
Replaced Rhyperior with him, since I needed a better lead and he does pretty much everything Rhy does, but better. He can't beat Bronzong like Rhyperior could though. ]': I gave him Ice Fang since I no longer have Articuno and needed an Ice attack.
---
Dusknoir (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP/76 Def/180 SDef
Careful nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Fire Punch
- Will-o-wisp
- Pain Split
- Thunderpunch
Blocks anyone trying to get rid of the Toxic Spikes so intergral to my strategy. He also counters Gyarados, who otherwise destroys me.
---
Blissey (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 148 HP/252 Def/108 SAtk
Modest nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Calm Mind
- Softboiled
Blissey, a necessary evil. Without her, I get pretty badly owned by the BoltBeam combo, with four of six pokemon on my team weak to it. I prefer CMBliss to the standard because CMBliss can actually hurt things, as well as beating other Blissey's. I chose Modest because, although Raikou is not very common, there's nothing I can do to it otherwise.

Skarmory (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Keen Eye
EVs: 252 HP/96 Atk/156 Def/4 Spd
Impish nature (+Def, -SAtk)
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird
- Roost
More physical walling, as well as setting up some Spikes to further increase the damage my team does to switch-ins.
---
Tentacruel (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 204 HP/36 Spd/96 SAtk/172 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Surf
- Sludge Bomb
- Rapid Spin
- Toxic Spikes
Probably the most important Pokemon in this team. Once I get Toxic Spikes down, the opponent better hope he has a non-Levitating Poison or he's running a lot of Steel/Flying types, or else he's going to get stalled to death. He also spins away any SR or Spikes that the enemy sets up.
---
Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 64 HP/192 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Magnet Rise
- Substitute
Provides some actual offense and counters the Steel types that are immune to Toxic. Enough speed to Magnet Rise before Metagross can EQ. HP Ice over HP Fire because Thunderbolt will do enough to the Pokemon I'm trapping and I need something to stop Garchomp and Salamence.
