    My team is lacking a good pysical wall. This is what I've been considering. Please tell me if any of these work and if none work please tell me what I can do.

    lefties on all of em

    Donphan-impish
    Ev's:252hp, 176attack, 182 Def
    Ice shard
    EQ
    Counter
    Rapid spin
    Basic Donphan

    Cyoster-impish
    Same Ev's as Donphan
    Ice shard
    Rapid Spin
    Spikes
    Toxic Spikes
    Sets up spikes and toxic spikes(3 and 2). Rapid spins away other spikes. Then ice shard away.

    Kingler-Impish
    Ev's:252hp, 252Def, 6attack
    Crabhammer
    Brick Break
    Rock Slide
    Metal Claw?
     
    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.
     
    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
     
    Restguarding Tangrowth works wonders.

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

    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.
