StallStorm

[AudinoGlitch]

Stall it out, Stall it out, Stall it out with Sandstorm! I decided to try my hand at a stall team and I'm using sandstorm to help.

Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP/ 252 Def/ 4 SDef
Nature: Impish
Earthquake
Stealth Rock
Roar
Slack Off

Sets up the rocks and the sand, and he's slow enough to set up the sand. Roar phazes out anyone trying to setup, EQ stops me from being taunt bait, and Slack Off heals.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SDef
Nature: Calm
Toxic
Encore
Knock Off
Flamethrower

Nothing like immunity to non-direct damage to help stall. Toxic is a frequent flier on this team. Encore forces a foe into a move they don't want. Knock Off prevents others from using leftovers and life orbs. Flamethrower sometimes burns and deals with steel types.


Breloom @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Atk/ 252 Speed
Nature: Jolly
Substitute
Drain Punch
Leech Seed
Spore

For such an annoying Pokemon, I can't find a setup for it on smogon. Whatever. Poison heal acts as leftovers in the sand, Drain Punch and leech seed drain health, and Spore causes sleep.

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP/ 224 Def/ 32 Spd
Nature: Impish
Iron Head
Wish
Thunder Wave
Fire Punch

If Jirachi's outrunning you, you're not gonna get to attack. 60% chance of flinch with Iron Head and with Thunder Wave to slow you down makes Jirachi a big problem to face. Wish heals and Fire Punch hurts steels.


Gastrodon @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 SAtk/ 252 SDef
Nature: Calm
Scald
Toxic
Recover
Earth Power

Capable of burning and poisoning, Gastrodon is ready to stall anything without magic guard. Recover heals, and Earth Power hurts Heatran. Speaking of....


Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 244 HP/ 44 SDef/ 220 Spd
Nature: Calm
Torment
Substitute
Protect
Lava Plume

It's the infamous Tormentran! I'll just rip from smogon.

"The idea behind the set is that very few Pokemon carry more than one attack that can severely hurt Heatran, and by using Torment on them, said Pokemon must either switch out or stay in and engage in a long, brutal stall war. Pokemon who wield a Choice item are especially affected by Torment, for they must Struggle every other turn if they choose to stay in. Substitute and Protect allows Heatran to both scout and shield itself from moves that can harm it. Lava Plume is chosen so that Heatran can slowly chip away the opponent's health."

So, rate? Suggestions would be nice because this is my first stall team.

Okay, I know you team raters are out there, HELP ME!

reason for this is is that it is a good team of whichi can only see one change which is to switch earth power for either ice beam or stock pile but other than that seems good. however a couple of good sets you could sub into it if needed include standard skarmory(max Sp.def, careful), ferrothorn sets or others.

but i like it

I can't think of anything to say, your team looks pretty solid. I wanna say that a DD r BU scrafty with shed skin will mess you up since half your team is weak to it and will either be OHKO or 2HKO after one or two boosts. Especially if breloom dies cause that's really your best bet against it. Last thing, and I know epic eevee (I think that's who it was) said it in a past rate, but you should really just focus on one team and then work with that one team. Your last team you had was pretty good, I know from experience (granted I was playing really bad) So you should just work on knowing the ins and outs of that team and then making a new one when you have your best team as a back up.

HMMM, this team looks pretty good, I can't find much to say
