Blissey has 714 max HP and it still can't take a physical hit. Probably an unfair analogy, but it still holds true. Walrein won't like energy and Tbolt. It's not very good in OUws to be honest :/

OOOK, then. What's a good Pokemon to use, then? (besides the evil egg)

Yeah, it is unfair:
Walrein: 95 Def
Blissey: 10 Def (which is just sad, but it still does well)

USe Milotic then. Here is a list of the top 100 SpDef Pokes. Use one from here. http://www.serebii.net/pokedex-dp/stat/sp-defense.shtml I'll give you set after you pick/I'll turn them down

Anti December 6th, 2007 12:19 PM

Notice people run max Def on blissey though ;) and if you want a special wall, regice is good...all of the usual ones...

Arcknight316 December 6th, 2007 12:57 PM

Hmm......I've seen Heal Bell Articuno somewhere, where do you get that?

Pokemon XD. It also gets the ever-useful haze.

Arcknight316 December 6th, 2007 5:29 PM

Oh. In that case, I could never get that :/

Well, if I can't get a cleric, my best bet is a Status Absorber.

Anti December 6th, 2007 5:35 PM

I introduce resttalk Zapdos! The 'ol ADV monster is long forgotten, but is still a MONSTER. lol, it can even outstall bliss with correct EVs and can absorb status. But you better NOT let it die, so get something that resists its weaks.

Arcknight316 December 6th, 2007 6:12 PM

Gah...I was thinking of Natural Cure Starmie...but that might work too.....

As for Zapdos....
Walrein would take Ice, while Donphan (a new addition) would take Rock.

Eos Aduro December 6th, 2007 6:30 PM

Hmm, well the best status taker is Milotic with Marvelk Scale, but another good absorber is Celebi I believe.

I was thinking of Starmie getting in, taking status, and getting out.

Eos Aduro December 6th, 2007 6:34 PM

Hmm, well who would it go in for? I think you really need a special wall more than anything that can take status more than a sweeper.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....maybe I'll try Zapdos? It's not a Wall, but Anti suggested it, so it's gotta be good.

Anti December 7th, 2007 6:23 PM

Resttalk Zappy is the best status absorber there is IMO. It can take sleep and sleep talk at wgatever sleep inducer, wake up, and rest up. REPEAT. Very fun in fact. Also, if you want a status absorber that can STALL STALL STALL (in a very annoying manner and still work well), then I suggest Articuno.

- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Substitute

I think it was. I think I saw it maybe on Smogon in a really old thread (can't rememebr), but I tied it out and it worked great. Note abusing pressure is oh so fun. And cuno has the defenses to pull it off.
