I also created a stall team. I would put it on RMT after I test it. It looks like if we don't stall, then we are up for problem.
by
I just love that team!!!!!! Unbeatable and ultimate stall.
by
this is a good team, but calling it the absolute best is a bold statement. There's no such thing as the 'best team', each team has something different that sets it apart and makes it unique in a way.
by
wow this is really good ngl
l'mayo got to turn 100 with this team, though you should have someone w/ aromatherapy/heal bell, kind of struggles against other stalls
by
The problem with this team is one can simply lead off with Tapu Fini and shut the team down. You have no real answers for it meaning it can always keep the misty terrain up not to mention it gets taunt. Mega Medicham also completely rips the team a new one should Sableye go down. Swords dance using pokemon like Garchomp or Kartana also puts immense pressure since as mentioned, you have no real answer to them. Kartana in particular becomes incredibly dangerous after just one kill
by
Agreed with everything the above comment says. Would like to add Swords Dance Gliscor 6-0s this team.
by
I forgot to mention, this team is literally Ash Greninja's dream team. Why? You have zero methods of hazard control, meaning it can litter the field with spikes and easily put you in one hell of a situation. Your primary method of dealing damage is toxic spikes, which is absolutely not gonna stay long since Toxapex is one of the most dominant pokemon. Your method of controlling hazards is not reliable at all. The mentioned Greninja kills it with two hydro pumps meaning switching in is gonna be risky not to mention it also becomes swords dance fodder for the Garchomp I mentioned earlier
by
RIP whoever faces this team XD
by
Poison Jab is good for sableye because of mega diance and other fairies.  Chansey needs some more coverage because even with EVs in defense, fighting types will still kill it very easily.  Really what i'm saying is the team needs more coverage and attacking because in the first part of the battle sableye was having a hard time dishing out damage. Otherwise it's great!
by
Some Pokemon arent meant to deal damage ya know
by
@snom, I agree about the Mega Sablelye but you should go research on Seismic toss, it does a Fixed amount of damage (presumably 100).
by
Lol someone got triggered by that suggestion. This just made my day

Since nobody gave an actual suggestion, I might as well try to give one. Change Tangrowth to Skarmory and use it to stack three hazards on the enemy. Stall teams require as many hazards as possible as they virtually have next to no method of dealing direct damage and instead rely on passive damage. It also provides you with the hazard control your team so desperately needs as it is so easy to bait in a Sableye looking to bounce back rocks only for the opponent to use it as set up fodder. Here's the Skarmory set I suggest

Skarmory @ Wiki Berry
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Roar
- Defog
- Roost
- Spikes

As I mentioned, swords dance using pokemon can easily take out this entire team all on their own. That problem is further compounded with the fact that said pokemon are not going to fight this team all on their own and that they will have their own support. Skarmory should fix that problem since it's physical bulk is just a giant pain in the ass and Blissey was once its best friend. It is taunt bait but what can you do. Skarmory just has to pull off this duty

Note though, that stall teams can easily be played around. As I mentioned earlier, Tapu Fini singlehandedly shuts down most of this team, meaning you're only source of damage would be the rocks and Landorus.  Tornadus could also be a problem as it does not particularly care about toxic thanks to regenerator and can easily remove any hazards and he won't even care about magic bounce not to mention it can simply u turn out of magma storm

Gliscor gets rekt with switching from staller to staller, with regenarator and switching in and the right time it uses earthquake to tangrowth
by
Was that a swords dance Gliscor or a different set? It was specifically mentioned that swords dance set 6-0s this team along with other swords dance users
by
Less toxic version of my comment: Offensive Mega Sableye is a waste of its potential. 85 base attack is rather low, and remember you can't boost it with an item either. The only offensive moves you should be putting on Sableye or Mega Sableye are Knock Off and Foul Play, since Knock Off is support and Foul Play lets this wall do some damage without needing a high attack stat. Chansey takes bad offenses to another level. Also, I am fully aware about what Seismic Toss does. I think Chansey's moveset is fine, you really don't need coverage.
Also,
0 Atk Breloom Focus Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 536-632 (76.2 - 89.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252+ Atk Life Orb Technician Breloom Mach Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 374-439 (53.2 - 62.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Urshifu Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Eviolite Chansey: 522-614 (74.2 - 87.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Chansey is a sturdy Pokemon that usually gets OHKOed only by things like Banded Close Combat from Urshifu, so it doesn't die very easily. Also, you might want to take into consideration that it has Soft-Boiled and Wish for reliable recovery, and Natural Cure to nullify status. Apologies for my earlier comment
by
uM urshufu doesn't exist in gen 7
by
Whoops lol. Still using it as an example
by
Thats the reason the word Switching Into Toxapex was invented.
by
Its all really about predicting.And not being stupid. Why chansey against breloom? Why not switch to sableye or the pex? Gliscor can be intimidated. Like this one below. Almost lost 3 of my mons.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-1202377611 I think you need a good Kartana counter, Heatran not's enough because Kartana carries Sacred Sword.
by
Whether you care about taunt Fini or not is irrelevant. It does not change the fact that it's terrain completely shuts down most of your source of damage, which is toxic not to mention it can actually man up against Landorus and actually burn it since it isn't a grounded pokemon. The main problem isn't about what Tapu Fini does but mainly because this team is crippled even with the only thing it does is enter the field
by
Can I go for heavy slam celesteela? Its pretty powerful. I mean, look at this replay:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-1202838959-e4epjfazqy1dpo412a822mbi7zxvv0qpw
by
That's really up to you but Celesteela won't solve your Fini problem since Fini is neutral to steel. If anything, I'd change your team to this one

https://pokepast.es/6d09387f968792a0

This team allows you to have a secondary Mega Medicham counter and a very hard counter to aforementioned swords dancers, Kartana, Garchomp and Gliscor. You know the saying 'prevention is better than a cure'? Lele replacing Landorus would be the prevention and Garchomp serves as a backup cure. Tapu Fini is basically stall's worst nemesis. It has everything a stall team hates, status prevention, defog and taunt. Without stall's precious Dugtrio, Fini can simply come in and deny your main source of damage and remove the second one. Lele prevents this from happening by removing Fini's terrain as well as hard checking all the swords dancers and z earthquake Garchomp destroys Fini after a swords dance while simultaneously pressuring Tornadus, another pokemon that shuts this team down, altho not to the same extent as Fini

252 SpA Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Kartana in Psychic Terrain: 263-309 (101.5 - 119.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 244 HP / 244 SpD Gliscor in Psychic Terrain: 211-249 (59.9 - 70.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Poison Heal
252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Garchomp: 356-420 (99.7 - 117.6%) -- 93.8% chance to OHKO
252 SpA Tapu Lele Psychic vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Garchomp in Psychic Terrain: 252-297 (70.5 - 83.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

As long as you inflict some minor damage to the mentioned swords dancers, Lele should be more than able to destroy them in one shot
