Stall just hasn't been the same since dugtrio got banned until now. I know what you thinking how could anything replace dugtrio on stall. In order to answer that question we have to take a look at what dugtrio did on stall teams it traped things like heatran and toxapex this was important becuase stuff like hetran and toxapex are very hard for stall to wear down therefor in order to replace dugtrio on stall we have to find something that can wear down the likes of heatran and toxapex that is where salazzle comes in. With its ability corrosion it is able to toxic and wear down any pokemon including the likes of heatran, toxapex, skarmory, celesteala, and as you should know once a pokemon is poisoned against stall it is as good as dead. Now lets get into the team.
the team
Sableye @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Protect
- Knock Off
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
the first pokemon is mega sableye as it is pretty much necessary on stall teams the spdef is there to help out with the likes of tapu koko and greninja
Skarmory @ rocky helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Spikes
- Defog
- Whirlwind
Skarmory is here to both setup hazards and defog them away it also doubles as a very effective physical wall completely stoping things such as sd gliscor which would otherwise destroy the team.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Haze
- Recover
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
Toxapex is pretty standard its here to pivot and get toxic spikes up it is also useful for getting scald burns and slowly wearing down the opponents team haze is also nice for not letting anything set up on it.
Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Soft-Boiled
- Seismic Toss
- Stealth Rock
- Heal Bell
Chansey is mainly here becuase it is the most effective special wall in the game but thats not all it can do it also acts as the teams claric and rock seter with seismic toss being there to do realible damage.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Wish
- Protect
- Calm Mind
Unaware clefable is here as another way to stop setup in addition it can also beat the likes of volcarona which was annoying to the team.
dugtrio v2 (Salazzle) @ Leftovers
Ability: Corrosion
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 28 SpD / 224 Spe
Jolly Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Protect
- Fire Blast
By far the most interesting pokemon on this team is salazle. Salazle brings a lot to this team becuase it can toxic anything due to its ability corrosion however thats not all it can do it can also beat the widely popular stallbreaker mega mawile.
how to use the team
You pretty much always want to lead with mega sableye so that you can get your mega off. The one exception to this rule is if you are facing a mega mawile in that case you will want to lead off with sallazzle so that you can get a toxic off on either mawile or anything that wants to come in. As for the rest of the game you want to try to wear down the opposing team by poisoning them via sallazle and by getting up as many hazards as you can.
team weaknesses
While there are some pokemon that can cause trouble for this team there is pretty much always a counter measure to it. For example mega mawile can be stoped either by poisoning it with salazzle or by burning it with sableye in normal form. This team is also relatively weak to z fly landourus and gyrados you just have to keep skarmory healthy enough to deal with them.
