Metagross is sort of a tank, but he can also dish out the damage as a physical attacker.

The funny thing is that only Cursepert and Cosmic Power Claydol are tanks.

You might want to try registeel as he has 12 resistances and has two base 150 defenses and 80 base HP and learn Iron defense and Amnesia (though you don't want both on the same one)

I had a similar team and it got 6-0'ed by a

I thought he only had 11 resistances (only.. wtf?)

As Phlemingo said, only Swampy and Claydol are tanks here, all the others are not tanks, as they can have their weaknesses exploited to easily, thus are not tanks.

Anything that can be OHKO's by a non-CH is not a tank, thus Blissey and Skarmory are eliminated.

Steelix can be taken out in one hit aswell, as can most of the team, just not Clay and Swamp.

So, consider Registeel, and perhaps something a little more "Wally-like" such as like Lugia or something.

Non-Uber wise seriously consider the Regi's.

Huh? No.
Tanks - Stuff that up their def, then pwn. Probably have good defenses in the first place.
Walls - Stuff that have naturally high defenses that do stuff like para, heal bell, yeah.

Whatever who cares an aggressive team will wipe this.

And Wall and Tank is the same thing to me lol.

Check this out:

-Heal Bell
-Curse
-Return
-Thunder Wave

An attacking wall-tank-thing all in on.

NOTE: Set is not recommended but Miltank can do it...

Phlemingo is right, Walls and Tanks are not the same thing.

an example of a Wall would be Blissey, and an example of a tank is Curselax.
Donphan as a wall, Suicune as a tank.

etc.
etc.

A pokemon has to have a stat-up move to be considered a tank.

Fair enough.

I always considered them as sorta the same thing, I see the difference now though.

What if it's an offensive stat-up, like DD? Just Sweeper I spose eh?

not a reliable arguement, cm suicune is a very strong arsenal in pokemon, and no, mantine does not own it. only stalls it.

I was joking but Suicune is only viable for those of you who dont try to make teams without legends. I only use them on the GBA because they are the easiest to make powerful. I use netbattle as a means to find non legends that can be powerful when raised properly then try and replicate them on the gba. Go go Cursetank on the GBA.

I only used legends like suicune on teams because they best filled the needs of the team.

I don't make or battle competitively anymore though so it's not my worry ;D
