Haze Alolan Muk Stall:
https://pokepast.es/0d2aafde16b1083e
I already posted this team in My RMT but I got approval from Rarelyme to post it here as well.
This is THE stall team that I've been spamming pretty much forever now, and figured its about time to make it a sample.
Here's a quick overview of what each mon does and their role on the team:
Chansey acts as the team’s primary special wall, as it can blanket checks the majority of special attackers in the tier and provides crucial team support through Heal Bell and Stealth Rock.
Tera Ghost serves two major functions: it removes Chansey's Fighting-type weakness, and it allows her to act as an emergency spin blocker.
Quagsire is the team’s primary answer to physical setup sweepers due to unaware. Its Ground typing allows this team to have a Volt Switch immunity, which denies otherwise infinite momentum from things like raikou and rotom-heat. The Whirlpool + Toxic combo is meant to pressure opposing fat playstyles, and allow quagsire to Flying/Levitate users who would otherwise be immune to Earthquake.
Tera Dark provides important resistances and immunities against dangerous threats like Necrozma, Armarouge, and other Stored Power abusers.
Chesnaught plays the role of the main physically defensive pokemon on this team, and specifically as the team’s dedicated Crawdaunt check, which otherwise poses a massive threat to passive teams like this. Chesnaught also provides the team with Knock Off and Spikes stack support.
Tera Steel flips Chesnaught’s Flying, Fairy, Ice, Poison and Psychic weaknesses into resistances instead, and enables it to check special threats like non-Hex Gengar, especially useful if Muk-Alola is worn down or otherwise unavailable, due it being tricked for example.
Talonflame serves as the team’s Defogger. Its high speed tier also allows it to act as a soft check to fast threats like Gengar. Additionally, since Talonflame has the Flame Body ability, it provides the team with another way to punish physical attackers that try to gain moment by spamming U-Turn, such as Zapdos-Galar.
Tera Ghost is chosen here once again in order to allow this pokemon to act as a spin blocker.
Slowbro functions as a reliable blanket physical check, and the primary switch-in to Fighting-types like Mienshao and G-Zapdos. It also acts as an infinite value generator with regenerator since it can heal itself just by switching, which can be useful into opposing fat teams where PP begins to matter. The inclusion of Foul Play allows Slowbro to beat setup sweepers like Rest + Dragon Dance Gyarados and Sub Dragon Dance Salamence, who would otherwise exploit the main other counterplay in Quagsire.
Tera Fairy improves the team’s matchup against Galldade, which otherwise can be a huge threat if the Gallade player gets some predictions correct. It also provides an emergency answer to Regidrago, who lacks checks on this build since there is no Fairy type.
Muk-Alola is essential as the team's special Ghost-type check, answering threats like Gengar and Basculegion-F that are immune to Chansey’s Seismic Toss. Haze was include on this set over Poison Jab as it allows Muk to reset setup sweepers, including Calm Mind threats like Tera Reuniclus, Tera Cresselia, or Suicune.
Tera Water was chosen here to improve the team’s matchup into Volcanion, since it’s fire spin taunt set is quite threatening.
