idk what to label this team
its meant to be stall but maybe its balance who knows

anyways so i wanted to post this rmt because i really like this team, it's a rehash of one of my old teams, which is mega-sableye, heatran, ferrothorn, clefable, gliscor and starmie. i felt like i was weak to too much stuff with this and it just played iffy, but i didn't know what about it. anyways fast forward i felt like i improved a lot in regards to battling but also team building so i wanted to try and improve it. ty to da and anti for tips on stall.

anyways! so

yes shed shell on ferrothorn rofl. actually that has helped me a few times and since it doesn't always carry leftovers i figured. da suggested reflect on latias but i changed that cause i found myself needing psyshock in some pinches, but if anyone has a way to still fit it on then yeah. anyways that's what an rmt is for i guess :p so i mean i have a "strategy" but idk how to type it out.

oh yeah uh so far on ladder i got to 1300+ with 12 - 0 but i usually get that far before i start losing horribly loool

it's a pretty standard semistall, so lookin good. a few fixes:

move the 4 evs in slowbro's satk (idk what they're for haha) to speed to creep other slowbros and especially clear smog amoonguss.

gliscor's evs are inefficient. 240 hp just misses a poison heal number, so let's say gliscor stays in for 15 turns post toxic-orb activation. you'll be losing 15 hp total over that, which is almost always trivial, but the key word there is *almost*...so take 4 from special defense to hp. you could take 4 more from sdef and add to to speed for some more creeping, which i would recommend.

clefable should be calm over bold so you don't get rocked by thundurus.

the latias is really weird. life orb with substantial bulk investment (especially at the cost of satk) doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. would even prefer draco plate over life orb, since i'm assuming psyshock is mostly for subcm keldeo. you could go full offensive as well (in which case i would consider latios, as it tends to encourage opponents playing their ferros and heatrans more carefully, which only helps you as you cannot actually damage either of them lol). Either way, I would try to narrow its purpose.

set the attack iv of slowbro, latias, clefable, and heatran to 0 for confusion and foul play damage.

be wary of the fact that heal bell on clefable will remove gliscor's toxic poison, so if you're using it to absorb knock off, it won't reactivate. nothing to fix, but be aware of this.

Gliscor learns Taunt, but he'd have to give up one of his moves. The question is whether he wants to sacrifice recovery, set up, or coverage for Taunt, should he choose to run it.

Heatran can also learn Taunt.

To add on to Anti's other EV nitpicks, Heatran would use 248 HP EVs to minimize Stealth Rock damage. 68 Speed EVs also outspeeds Mega Venusaur. In other words, the EV spread should be 248 HP/192 SDef/68 Spe.
