Arm Wrestle?
Alright! First serious RMT, and I've got a good thought about it. My theme, you say? Never losing a Pokemon! Well, sorda. Walling the heck out of everything, really. Anyways, I've compiled my best reasoning, and want to know how this will turn out. To the RMT!
And that's how it went down. To the Movesets themselves, welcome to the field "WhyYouPunchNoHurt?"!
Stachio(Jellicent)(M)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 HP, 76 Def, 180 SDef
-Surf
-Shadow Ball
-Recover
-Will-O-Wisp
Standard Jelly. Burn and Recover are so annoying together, especially what with his normal Special Defence. not much needed to be explained, Surf and Shadow Ball are STAB, and I'm thinking about adding a few SAtk EVs to make it hurt more.
Durian(Ferrothorn)(M)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Relaxed
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP, 48 Def, 208 SDef
-Leech Seed
-Gyro Ball
-Spikes
-Toxic
Semi-Standard Ferrothorn. I opted for bothSR and Spikes because of a good reason; Residual Damage is cool, man. If I can get an SR up, it keep Fires out, especially that Volcano-Moth thing. Ferrothorn isn't forced out by alot, but I'll be happy to give Heatran a boost to his flames at any time. Leech Seed supports team-mates, Gyro Ball for surprising power.
Took out the illegal combo, now I'm subbing SR with Toxic.
LavaDome(Heatran)(M)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP, 252 SDef, 4 Def
-Lava Plume
-Toxic
-Substitute
-Roar
SubRoar Heatran laughs at you counters, unless they carrty a Ground attack. I'm thinking of replacing Lefties with Air Balloon, but it's not necessarily needed. Lava Plume for damage, Toxic for prolonged pain, Sub for Subbing and Roar for Phazing, usually behind a Sub.
Trollnite(Dragonite)(M)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Impish
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Spd
-Substitute
-Dragon Tail
-Roost
-Thunder Wave
Substitute forTrollingSubbing, Roost for healing, Dragon Tail for Phazing, TWave for those who don't have Poison or Burn. Multiscale is nearly priceless, Leftovers are being used too much.
Skulkraken(Gyarados)(M)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 168 HP, 252 Atk, 88 Spd
-Waterfall
-Earthquake
-Dragon Dance
-Substitute
Gyarados was gonna be named Skullkraken in America. However, they didn't think of shortening it, and so I did so. SubSetup is a simple strategy that works more often than not, and then Sweep with OK coverage moves in Waterfall and Earthquake.
Eggman(Chansey)(F)
Item: Eviolite
Nature: Bold
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SDef
-Wish
-Softboiled
-Seismic Toss
-Toxic
Wish is team-healing,, Softboiled for recovery, Seismic Toss is actual Damage, and Toxic is EvilStall.
If none of my Pokemon die, all they gotta do is get Toxic, Burn or Paralyzation and they're pretty skrewed. Fully defensive team is fully defensive, not sure if it'll work, I'm using PO for this, et cetera, whatever. Any suggestions would be nice.
Eggman(Blissey)(F)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Calm
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 SDef
-Wish
-Softboiled
-Seismic Toss
-Toxic
Does this really need explaining? It does? Huff, Okay. Wish is for Teammates, Softboiled is for herself, Seimic Toss is for wearing away at everything except Ghosts, Toxic for wearing away at everything except Poisons.
Deceased due to Chansey being better apparently. R.I.P. Blissey.
Oh yeah, and here's something about replacements;
AT A GLANCE
It had to start somewhere, and that somewhere was this partnership between Jellicent and Ferrothorn. It was mutual, as they resist each other's weaknesses perfectly, and can support eachother.
So, what do I do after that? I add more to a core, duh! With a good thing, why would you change it, so I went with another resistance partnership, the one between Dragon and Flying, and Fire and Steel. So that's how Heatran and Dragonite came into my team.
Now, I've got four really bulky Pokemon, and three of them can support themselves, and one can support all the others. So naturally I add another Wall, that one with base 255 HP, Blissey.
After this I was at a loss though. I thought about going with SkarmBliss, and that may work. Could've gone with Gliscor, or maybe even Zapdos, but no, I chose the thing that hit me; Chansey with Eviolite. It's almost like having another Blissey. This can't be fun for the other person.
Within the first few posts, people showed the error of having two huge base HP Pokemon. I decided to go with Gyarados, which can aptly take out Sandstream Teams bar Terrakion, but I felt that Jellicent will stop the more common forms of said Terrakion.

Right now, I'm seeing my team being good. Now, I want it better than good. Enter Abomasnow, the one that made my prior team actually good. Literally, Abomasnow did it all. Anyways, I'm thinking of replacing Heatran with him, as Abomasnow is able to do more than what I've recently seen. Here's the set...
PineScented(Abomasnow)(M)
Item: Leftovers
Nature: Adamant
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 252 HP, 252 Atk, 4 Spd
-Substitute
-Leech Seed
-Focus Punch
-Ice Shard
The idea behind this set is to take full advantage of a switching Pokemon expecting a powerful Blizzard from Asweepasnow. However, instead, I use Sub. Now that I have protection, I can go on to use Leech Seed or Focus Punch, which, even though Leech Seed isn't an attack, gets good coverage. Ice Shard is a STABbed Priority to be able to take things out that're weakened or after they broke the Sub, and it's proven itself prior.
I'd love to know your thoughts on it. It's actually a serious set, and has proved itself on numerous occasions, although it has to bring with it Hailstorm. I'm not sure if it's an even trade-off, because if Abomasnow didn't have Snow Warning, he'd easily become a cool staple.(Atleast to people like me, who appreciate abusing Substitutes.)
