Stall
So i really like stall even if it isn't as viable strat now but i still really like it so any ideas to improve my team like move or mon changes,while at least keeping it semi-stall.
Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Def / 72 Spe
Bold Nature
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Knock Off
Gliscor and alomamola form a defensive core on the physical side and glisor is great for rocks and spikes.protect is to gain health on eveery other turn from poison heal and knock off as utility.Just used the guess spread for the stats,and tera water as a general defensive typing.

Alomomola @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Wish
- Protect
- Flip Turn
- Healing Wish
Gliscor and alomamola form a defensive core on the physical side.steel tera, basic defensive type.Wish helps heal other team mates if you add slow flip turn.I put light screen because i don't know what else to put there.

Ting-Lu @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Vessel of Ruin
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Protect
- Earthquake
- Whirlwind
- Spikes
ting-lu and toxaopex form a defensive core on the special side. ting-lu uses whirlwind to deal extra hazard damage and get rid of stat buffs.covert clock is for headbutt dudunsparce.

Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Baneful Bunker
- Toxic
- Recover
- Infestation
ting-lu and toxaopex form a defensive core on the special side and toxepex is very good at plain old stalling.0 attack IVs for min confusion damage.infestation and toxic for damage over time.and tera steel for a good defensive type.

Kingambit @ Leftovers
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 212 HP / 252 Atk / 44 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Kowtow Cleave
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
It's a last resort for when all my team has fainted using supreme overlord.The stats are from a somogon analysis.Tera fairy dodges the 4x fighting weakness

Garganacl @ Leftovers
Ability: Purifying Salt
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 52 Def / 204 SpD
Careful Nature
- Iron Defense
- Salt Cure
- Recover
- Protect
garganacl is here to round the team out as it is a phenominal physical staller.Iron defence helps bulster the already high physical defence.salt cur,recover and protect+leftovers are for basic stall shenanigans

So i really like stall even if it isn't as viable strat now but i still really like it so any ideas to improve my team like move or mon changes,while at least keeping it semi-stall.

First off, make sure everything on stall has boots. Hazard stack forcing switches on stall mandates boots so you don't rack up absurd amounts of damage. The main exception is gliscor of course, and sometimes corv or skarm - they have useful typings that let them take minimal damage from hazards.

After that, I have a few set changes. Gliscor should be poison jab over rocks, as you already have a hazard setter in Ting Lu, and jab forcesprogress and chip while easing your hatterene matchup. Tera Dragon also helps here, so you can check ogerpon-wellspring.

Make Alomomola Tera Flying and give it scald over healing wish, to give your team a secondary Knock Off absorber if need be (and healing wish is counterproductive on stall usually, whereas scald lets you fish for burns).

I'd run rest on ting lu, and potentially sleep talk or ruination over eq, but that part's up to you. Also rocks over spikes (optional), Gliscor can set hazards repeatedly more reliably. One should have rocks and the other spikes, though.

Pex definitely wants haze over infestation, but other than that the set looks good!

The last two mons are a little odd - neither really fits on hard stall. Kingambit is an offensive presence that you'd rather have be another wall, and Garg depends on leftovers as it struggles to take hits and heal with boots, which stall mons need as stated before.

Thus, I think you should drop these two for the two stall staples of the format, Blissey and Dondozo. Bliss should be Tera Dark with SoftBoiled/Calm Mind/Seismic Toss/Protect, and Dondozo should be Tera Fighting with Avalanche/Curse/Rest/Sleep Talk. These two give your team more blanket checks for special threats and physical threats respectively.

Final team should look something like this:

hope this helps, remember to check out stallcord, and glhf!
