After a short try of trick room, I decided to make an Underused Stall team. Is it good, or does it suck? (and my computer won't let me post pictures, so meh.)

The Lead
Porygon2@Choice specs
Modest-Trace

Evs: 252 hp, 200 def, 58 spec. def
Discharge
Trick
Recover
Tri attack

Discharge is useful to paralyze opposing pokemon, so my slow team has a chance. Tri attack allows me not to be completely walled by ground pokemon. Recover heals my pory2 when he needs health. Trick with choice specs is used to wall the ever-common physical attackers.

The All Purpose wall

Spiritomb@Leftovers
Modest-Pressure
Evs: Hp 252, 129 def, 129 spec. def
Protect
Taunt
Will-O-Wisp
Dark Pulse

Taunt is very useful in stopping setup, and has been very useful in tests. Protect is used to stall out with Will-O-Wisp and Toxic, and heals 6% every time it is used (due to leftovers). Dark Pulse allows me not to be completely walled by taunt users, and is the sole attack on this set. He has great synergy with most of the team, as there is a mass fighting weak there.

Spikers


Nidoqueen@Leftovers
Adamant-Poison point
Evs: Hp 252, Def 252, Atk 6
Toxic Spikes
Taunt
Roar
Poison Jab

Spiker 1. Toxic Spikes is an obvious move for a spiker, so it is on there. Taunt is there for the same reason it is on Spiritomb. Roar poisons and racks up spikes damage (like whirlwind Skarmory on Team Obi Stall), and since Chansey covers Stealth rocks, Poison Jab is placed on the list so as not to be walled by taunt users.

Cloyster@Leftovers
Careful-Skill link
Evs: Hp 252, spec. def 252, atk 6
Rest
Sleep Talk
Spikes
Icicle Shard


Spiker 2. Restalk gives Cloyster the necesarry recovery that is vital to his survival. Spikes are there for... spiking. Icicle Shard is the attack used on this set instead of rapid spin so he isn't walled by anything.


The Special Sponge


Chansey@Leftovers
Bold-Natural Cure
Evs: Hp 252, spec. def 252, def 6
Wish
Protect
Stealth Rock
Aromatheripy


A mix of the Celibi (Aromatheripist) and the Blissy (Wish Passer) from Obi Stall. Also sets up Stealth Rocks, which is useful.


The Last Stand


Vespiquen@Leftovers
Modest-Pressure
Evs: Hp 252, Def 129, Spec. Def 129
Attack Order
Defend Order
Roost
Toxic


Vespiquen is awsome. Defend order makes her like Cosmic Power Clefable with better typing. Roost is better then Heal Order at Healing, and can be used to avoid rock, electric, and ice KOs. Toxic is for the flying types that avoided the toxic spikes. Attack Order is for attacking, and it is the best bug type move in the game.


Well, that was my team. Rate away! Also, Yay 25th post!
 
Well the first thing that really strikes me about this team is that There are no offensively EV's Pokemon. Only Porygon2 has even more than one attack. By putting such low attacking pressure, it is inevitable that you will get set up on. You simply won't have enough firepower to prevent setups from happening. Even your taunters will have to concede one turn of setup, as they are very slow. I would suggest either putting more attacks on your pokemon, or adding a bulky attacker with multiple attacks, such as Mixed Arcanine or Altaria, or a sturdy shaymin set with good coverage.
 
This thread is now locked under RMT Rule 3:
Rule # 3 said:
3. Have some actual words in your post beyond your six Pokemon and their moves. Not following this makes your post quite boring to read and rate. All Pokemon should have a good reason for being in your team anyway, so why not post that reason? If you're having trouble with this one, start by giving an explanation for each team member. Why are they there? What role do they serve? How do you get them in? Then, give an explanation of how you would open with the team and how you would go about using it. All of these things help people rate your team and allow us to offer more helpful advice.

This does not mean add one sentence saying "Standard x" or "all-around awesome" after each Pokemon. If you put thought into making the team, you can put thought into posting it.

Just telling the effects of your attacks is not good enough.
