    Me again. I am rebuilding my team and am in desparate need of a strong special wall that doesn't have 10 weaknesses and/or mega low HP. BTW, I DON'T want blissey! I am trying not to make a super OU team, just a team of pokemon you don't see every single second. So there ya' go, any good special walls you guys can think of?
     
    *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

    Underrated special walls include

    Calm Milotic
    Calm Empoleon
    Careful/Sassy Registeel
    Careful/Sassy Bronzong
    Careful Snorlax

    If sandstorm is running, Careful Cradily makes a great special wall.

    Another one I just checked out was Probopass seems pretty good, plus with Lock-On/Zap Cannon, he packs a punch too, even if his attack and special attack stats arent soaring.

    Lock-On + Zap Cannon combo has always sucked.

    Probopass is another one of those Pokemon that can make a decent special wall if Sandstorm is running.

    Dang! I keep forgeting to mention I only have emerald and some of the other 3rd gen. games. I guess that narrows it down to milotic, Snorlax, and Registeel. Any others? I already have steelix so that would rule out registeel. I think I want to use cradily. Any good movesets cuz I suck with cradily (then again that was before I discovered there are more than just attack moves). Please help.

    EDIT: Forgot my manners. Thanks for the help guys!
     
    Ugh, I hate that thing. I'll use it if I must, but can Cradily work?
     
    Haven't you read any of the above posts? This is for 3rd gen! Anyways, I came up with a cradily moveset. How's this:

    Cradily@Leftovers
    Calm Nature
    EVs: I suck with EV spreads
    ~Amnesia
    ~HP Grass
    ~Recover/Ingrain
    ~Substitute

    This a good special wall MS? Help is greatly appriciated. Thanks everyone.
     
    The problem with Probopass is that it has two 4x weaknesses. Even with its high defense, a STABbed Close Combat or Earthquake from a good sweeper is probably going to OHKO it.
     
    Urgh...This is 3rd gen...I'm so tired of saying that...Is the Cradily moveset good? I need help with the EVs and probably the moveset too. Toxic could replace substitute i think. Would that work?
     
    Milotic and Vaporeon.

    Vaporeon schools.

    Modest
    252 hp/120 special attack/136 special defense
    Item:Leftovers
    Surf/Toxic/Wish/Acid Armor

    It could learn acid armor last gen, right? If not, go for Ice Beam instead.

    Yeah, but sadly, Probopass has a 4x weakness to Ground, and Fighting, and most sweepers carry around an Earthquake
     
    Okay, people, back on topic. This is not a discussion about Probopass or even the same generation Probopass is in. Besides, Probopass is a special wall, not a physical wall so it's only natural that physical sweepers will be able to take it down.

    And Cradily with Amnesia can make a decent special wall, but I'd really suggest Calmcune for special walling and general tanking:

    Suicune @ Leftovers
    Ability: Pressure
    Bold Nature
    EVs: 252 HP, 212 Defense, 44 Sp.Attack

    - Surf/Roar
    - Ice Beam/Roar
    - Rest
    - Calm Mind
