Defoggurdurr
https://pokepast.es/46669ef92050feb0
This balance utilizes Gurdurr as an offensive utility pick that fits Defog, on top of the general perks of Knock Off, Mach Punch, and extra bulk. From there, the team can benefit from bulkier teammates that use Leftovers instead of Heavy-Duty Boots, especially picks like Protect Lanturn and Trick Room Spiritomb. Lanturn benefits from this passive recovery a lot, partially thanks to its status capabilities from Scald and Thunder Wave, and its physical bulk is maximized to take on Floatzel. Weezing + Mesprit make up the rest of the defensive core, with Charizard as the main revenge killer. Encore Mesprit into Roar Charizard will deal with most defensive sweepers like Curse Snorlax that could otherwise potentially tear through this core, and Taunt Weezing makes for an excellent stallbreaker.
