Asking at smogon will probably get you a better answer

Probably with SkarmBlissPex. SkarmBlis has been a stall staple since forever and is weak to Cinderace, so Pex fills that hole. They also probably wanna go with something like Swampert to ensure a safe Heatran switch in

Usually a Wish passer and Clerics are good ideas to help heal and get rid of Status on teammates that can't do so themselves.

For stall teams I recommend Pokémon with toxic/leech seed and a recovery move. Pressure and good hp/defense are also recommended. I think Toxapex is one of the best stallers. Use the moveset searcher on this page to find some other good ones.

My answer, was of 19k characters.

And I couldn't lower it.

So, here's the PasteBin link!

And I actually started writing the first draft of the answer on 5th March, but me being me, I accidentally deleted it lol.
And then I quit writing the answer cuz I became paranoid, and then I wrote a solid 30k Characters, out of which almost half I had to delete because of the 12k limit :(

The Contents, though
