Rapid spin
Basic Donphan

Cyoster-impish
Same Ev's as Donphan

Sets up spikes and toxic spikes(3 and 2). Rapid spins away other spikes. Then ice shard away.

No, the only good pokemon you have is Donphan. You missed some fairly decent physical walls, like Steelix and Regirock with that enormous 200 Defense stat and a decent 80 HP.

buut... Donphan is good. Give it stealth Rock over Counter though.

Note that HP plays a big part of walling.

Azonic September 6th, 2007 4:17 PM

Donphan has 90 Base HP, thats good

Donphan... Kingler has wayyyy to low HP to be a decent wall, and Cloyster, the same.

Use Aggron with Gengar backup, this is rare, but it works quite well.

or use Steelix, who can absorb Earthquakes. Regirock... it could be useful, but some battle threads dislike the use of legends.

Skarmory is OU, so it is way common these days seeing a person carry an Electivire with Thunderbolt, or Garchomp using Fire Blast, so Skarms a no. (it is a good wall, but too easily predicted)

Tangrowth with Swampert backup works pretty well

Restguarding Tangrowth works wonders.

Skarmory fails for the reason mentioned above and the fact that it has an abyssmally low HP stat

The funny thing is, people complain about Skarmory due to everyone bringing counters, do you know how funny it is when people are thunderbolting your Skarmory and you switch out to your own Electivire...

If there are so many Skarmory counters why aren't there counters to those counters

1. Leaf Guard works like Safeguard, not Hydration.
2. Skarmory does not fail. It walls the **** out of things. It may be easily countered, but its counters are easily predicted. Low HP doesn't help, but at least it beats Dusknoir. Who does fail.
