Zombie Team OU
I've had a few battles with this team on shoddy and it's been a bit hit and miss. It 'works' as a stall team in the OU environment so advice in that region would be helpful.
Sneaky Peek
------------------------------
------------------------------
------------------------------
Forretress @ Leftovers **Zombietress**
Sturdy
Relaxed
252 HP / 112 Atk / 146 Def
~ Stealth Rock
~ Spikes
~ Gyro Ball
~ Explosion
My lead and hazard set up. SR goes up first and then as many layers of spikes as I can manage. Gyro ball is for STAB and explosion is a last ditch attempt at an attack if I'm sure that the opponent doesn't have a rapid spinner.

Blissey @ Leftovers **Zombieblis**
Natural Cure
Calm
80 HP / 252 Def / 178 SDef
~ Wish
~ Protect
~ Seismic Toss
~ Toxic
Classic special wall and wish passer to members that can't heal themselves. I find that seismic toss is a more reliable move in general than any of the special attacks she usually gets on a set like this, because of this I moved the ev's she would've had in SAtk and put them into HP. Toxic is mainly there for a filler, but flying and levitating pokemon are immune to toxic spikes, so a back-up can't hurt.
Celebi @ Leftovers **Celezombie**
Natural Cure
Bold
252 HP / 220 Def / 38 Spd
~ Grass Knot
~ Recover
~ Perish Song
~ Hidden Power (Fire)
Thanks to D_A for pointing out that I had no one to perish song a last standing pokemon. Swapped for dugtrio celebi handles gyarados better and deliver that clinching perish song.
Tentacruel @ Leftovers **Tentazombie**
Liquid Ooze
Calm
252 HP / 120 Def / 138 SDef
~ Toxic Spikes
~ Rapid Spin
~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
A back-up special wall which can take fighting type attacks as well as acting as this teams toxic spiker/rapid spinner. I can't have other teams hazards on the field if I'm going to stall efficiently so I spin them away and he can come in on toxic spikes and absorb them automatically. Surf for STAB and ice beam for coverage.
Dusknoir @ Leftovers **Zombienoir**
Pressure
Impish
252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SDef
~ Will-o-wisp
~ Pain Split
~ Fire Punch
~ Thunder Punch
Mainly my spin blocker and also a physical wall. Although forretress has decent enough defences he's a bit preoccupied in other duties so he can't focus on being a reliable wall. Will-o-wisp makes walling easier, although toxic spikes hinder this strategy. The elemental punches are for coverage and pain split is my only option to try and heal without relying on blissey.
Hippowdon @ Leftovers **Don Zombie**
Sand Stream
Impish
176 HP / 86 Def / 248 SDef
~ Stockpile
~ Slack Off
~ Roar
~ Earthquake
The tank and phazer. Although he's famous for taking physical hits this set aims to make him a strong tank thanks to stockpile and sand stream giving him additional SDef boosts. Slack off to heal damage and earthquake so I'm not inhibited by taunt. The magic of this set comes from making use of the vast array of hazards that are thrown onto the field. With hippowdon's defences using roar should be no problem dealing constant damage on the switch.
I hope you can spot the flaws in this team because they have evaded me so far. Rate constructively please and I also enjoy a little humour. Cheers!
