SV OU Stall Team - OU

wevb

I want to preface this by the fact that I've asked other users, and taken advice from other stall teams out there. With all due respect, there's a LOT of stall teams, and they are often pretty similar.

Clodsire @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Recover
- Toxic
- Earthquake

Unaware is an essential of stall teams, and Clodsire is the best I've found on the special side.
SR is great in general, Recover for healing, Toxic for stalling opponents, and EQ for reliable(ish) damage
Pretty weak to water/grass, especially Walking Wake, so tera steel

Dondozo @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Liquidation
- Body Press
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

Unaware is amazing - Dondozo is the counterpart of Clodsire, only on the physical side this time.
It's a really good counter to late-game Kingambit sweeps, as well as a lot of bulk up/ swords dance sets.
Liquidation for reliable damage, Body Press to take advantage of its huge defense stat, Rest/Sleep Talk for healing.
Not really sure why tera dark is great, but has helped counter some stored power sweepers

Gliscor @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 244 HP / 36 Def / 228 SpD
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Protect
- Spikes
- Toxic

Gliscor is my status/knock off absorber, and has a lot of longevity.
EQ for damage, Protect/Toxic for stalling, and Spikes for hazards in combination with Clod's SR.
I don't terastallize Gliscor a lot, because I can often protect and see if my opponent used a ice move, and switch out, but I don't rly know why I have tera ground here.

Corviknight @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Roost
- Iron Defense
- Body Press

Defog to prevent hazards, Roost for healing, and Iron Defense/Body Press for bulk and counterpressure
Tera Flying for Corv mirror matchups to resist Body Press

Toxapex @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic
- Recover
- Infestation
- Haze

Toxapex is a great regenerator, because I don't have Alomomola, it helps out a lot, especially stalling out Garganacl's Salt Cure in conjunction with Gliscor.
Infestation + Toxic can kill a LOT of stuff, Recover for healing, and Haze and Tera Fairy are almost exclusively for Iron Valiant and Raging Bolt

Blissey @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Natural Cure
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Seismic Toss
- Shadow Ball
- Soft-Boiled

Blissey is the best special wall of all time
Tera dark for stored power sweepers
Calm Mind to fight off Nasty Plot Gholdengo, and Seismic Toss/Shadow Ball for damage, with Soft Boiled for healing.


It's my first team to make and play with for an extended period of time (over a week), as well as my first posted team. If I did something wrong in posting, or am missing some crucial part of stall, I'm sorry, it's my first time! I'd love any advice y'all could give! Thanks
 
Hey! This isn't too bad of a start, but like you said, you are missing a few components here.

Clodsire has a good enough set so I won't touch it.

Gliscor - any stall team needs a Knock user to actually make progress vs bootspam, and this is no different. You should drop EQ here, as this team is already perfectly equipped to handle Raging Bolt. Specially defensive works, but given you already have Blissey and Clod it seems unnecessary. A physically defensive spread helps you take random hits better, notably surviving tusk's ice spinner way better so that you can toxic it and get to winning through hazards faster, and allows you to stay in to toxic things like Samu-H and Ogerpon in a pinch.

Corviknight - tera flying is quite useless as in the situation you mentioned getting into a Corv idef mirror it's just much better to go gliscor and knock its item off, then Dondozo who ignores its boosts and takes minimal damage. Instead of IronPress, you can use Brave Bird/Defog/Roost/Protect with Lefties to hit Ogerpon and Tusk, and give you a nice future sight absorber since you have none.

Toxapex - Infestation on stall isn't really that good compared to slotting surf to hit glimmora and iron moth or bunker to punish contact attackers/uturn. Tera fairy -> steel in order to stop raging bolt, all the kyurems that aren't dd tera fire blast, and resist ogerpons grass stab to stop it from setting up on you.

Dondozo - the taunt roaring moon matchup here is absolutely horrendous, Avalanche > Waterfall STAB in most cases. Tera ghost Gambit last is a bit of an issue so you'll have to make sure gliscor is healthy enough to knock its leftovers to prevent them from just healing on sleep talk turns where you don't pull a damaging move.

Blissey - this set is fine aside from the fact that going with a mixed defensive spread grants more bulk since Blissey already has a giant HP pool and you get diminishing returns from investing in it.

I also recommend joining the stall discord to get more in depth help such as replay analysis and sample teams.
 
Thanks so much for replying!
What tera type should I use instead on Corv?
I'm confused on the Dozo Avalanche > Waterfall STAB, should I be using a Avalanche/BP/Rest/SleepTalk set? I'm using liquidation right now.
I often find myself not using Clod at all. What situations should I really be using it? or should I just drop it for a different mon?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm new

EDIT: I'm also having trouble with GKing, what should I do to better handle it

Tera dragon should be used. Avalanche BPress Rest Sleep Talk is the set I was suggesting, it allows you to eliminate Roaring Moon rather than die to tera flying acrobatics before waterfall can do enough. Clodsire can just be thrown at mons like Raging Bolt, CM valiant and Gholdengo without Psyshock, as well as Iron Moth.
 
What do you mean by gking trouble? Like vs AV sets or dealing with future sight? Usually the play vs. future sight would be to go corviknight when they chilly out and protect to only take the resisted future sight hit. as for AV you can tera blissey to be immune to psyshock and take very little damage from its other 3 attacks. I forgot to mention this, but Gliscor should be either tera dragon or water.
 
I feel like in all cases I've faced gking, it kinda ends up going to pp stalling, is there something else I should be doing?
 
I would say you need a much more solid switch-in to Waterpon, since currently you have to Tera something to deal with it. Maybe replace Pex for Amoonguss.
