Stail team

[pikmin]

Hey, it's pikmin! I love un-orthodox teams, pokémon, moves, and ev spreads. I used to focus on trick room, but now I"ll try a bit of hail.


oh yeah, and everyone on hear is blue, except arcanine, which is awesome!

I know I have a big rock weakness, but I can't think of anything that horrible about that, I can't think of a rock type. But stealth rock kills my team, so I think cloyster should help with rapid spin.

Everyone on my team has leftovers.

Snover, (female)

~blizzard
~leech seed
~protect
~toxic

Auto hail is nice, blizzard hurts the nidos and flying leads, and those resistant to leech seed. Basically it stalls a lot. I usually switch after a turn.

Cloyster

~spikes
~toxic spikes
~rapid spin
~rock blast

My rapid spiniker. It tries to get spikes plus spin away rocks, and tries to hit Arcticuno with rock blast. It can ko all forms of articuno with luck, and gets at least 90% of it's hp at the least. Use rapid spin to finish it off it it survives.

Walrein

bold
ice body
220 hp 240 defense 48 speed

~protect
~substitute
~super fang
~brine

A great staller. Super fang + brine gets tons of damage. Protect + substitute really lets you recover hp. Walrein has a lot of trouble with other ice types and people who can recover, but still, it's very valuable to my team.

Spiritomb

calm
252 hp 252 defense 4 sp. attack

~calm mind
~dark pulse
~rest
~sleep talk

This spiritomb can really take hits. It attemps to get calm mind up. Who needs crocune when you can use crotomb? Also, very valuable to my team as a spin-blocker. Cloyster works very hard to get up all those spikes! I'd use shadow ball, but normals would scare me, as spiritomb already is already my normal type counter.

~flare blitz
~roar
~rest
~sleep talk

This guy is my attempt at handling my grass weakness, and just roaring around. When this thing gets wore down from flare blitz recoil and physical attacks it handles so well, it can use rest and recover to full hp. It then can randomly attack or use roar. If arcanine outspeeds the opponent, and is asleep and uses roar via sleep talk, it will go first and not give the opponent the chance to attack, making it able to go first and phaze!

This a set I made designed for this team myself. It can't use a water attack, but the fact it's water type would scare off rocks, if I ever saw one. This gal uses boltbeam to get un-resisted damage almost, and uses one randomly while asleep. It can stall really well and does some pretty good damage too.

please rate out of 100


and other dude, I did not copy you, I promise! I though of this before I saw yours.

Why are all their items lefties? How about focus sash on snowver?

 

[coolking503]

I would try blaziken over arcanine to deal with grass types, or possibly altaria, since one can switch in the other can do damage. Otherwise it looks solid, though ive never played hail stall before.

and other dude, I did not copy you, I promise! I though of this before I saw yours.

LOL :XD2:

Anyway, though our team gimmick is the same, they couldn't be more different. We do have nearly identical Spiritomb but that's where it ends. I tried that Snover, but it didn't work for me. If it works for you, keep using it.

You won't have the Clefable problem I had though, since your Stallrein has that cool combo of SF/Brine. Even still, I would personally leave rapid spinning to something not weak to stealth rocks, but that's just me.

My only real problem with this team is that you have 3 Rest-Talkers. That really limits what kind of attacks you can do.

 

[coolking503]

I just though of some other stuff to add.

1. dex is right about the rest talkers, altaria seems to be a good choice.
2. Maybe try blastoise as your spinner, with 100% accurate blizzard. This lessens the need for lanturn, who can be switch for something like chansey to sponge special hits.

 

[pikmin]

@ coolking I was really looking a blazekein last night thinking about it, but I wasn't sure. I think he would do a good job. So that decided.
so, should I tak out lanturn for altaria or blastoise?
@ the other dude yeah, rest talkers seem to be beaten by anything with recover. Arcanine -> blazekien should help
@ jackson snover has lefties and defensive evs and lefties so it can switch in to restore hail if it gets changed to another weather.

 

[coolking503]

what I was saying was that if you use Blastoise over lanturn, that takes up the role of laturn, hitting rock types like kabutops. Then you can replace that for something else, either setting up spikes or walling more. Maybe altaria, maybe something else. i cant really think of anything off the top of my head

 

[pikmin]

who spikes then?
