    As we all know, 5th gen has come out lately and people have been making terrible teams using those Pokemon. This just so happens to be another one of those teams. I've tried to make it a bulky offense team, so which is why it comes to terms of "walling" the opponent. This is just one meaning, since there is usually more than one meaning to a word.
    Urban Dictionary said:
    A form of torture used by the USA. The tortured person is slammed against a wall.
    Walling is illegal according to the European Court of Human rights.

    Using a wall hack in an online game. Almost always illegal and will get the player banned from the server.
    d00d taht gey n00b haxor ***** is walling. im callin teh admin

    To have sex standing up.
    I caught this guy totally walling this chick inside the closet!

    And many more, but whatever. Let's get this RMT over with.
    Also keep in mind that this is my first Gen 5 Team, with pretty much no knowledge of the new tiers.

    Power Whip

    Natttorei is my lead, and is a pretty good one as well. Iron Barbs means no one can touch him without getting hurt. I had a hard time choosing between Spikes or Stealth Rock (since SR became a breeding move) so I went with Spikes, since it can benefit my team more, except against Landlos and Voltolos. Power Whip and Gyro Ball are there for STAB attacks.

    Rapid Spin

    Pretty much the average Doryuuzu set. Balloon is there so I can hover above enemy Earthquakes and Spikes (even though I have no idea how a balloon can carry a Doryuuzu). I have no use for Rapid Spin since none of my Pokemon are SR weak, so this may be switched out for X-Scissor or something. Although it can be useful against the likes of Xatu and it's Magic Mirror.

    Toxic

    Burungeru is my special wall, and man can it stall. Sure I lose the second attacking slot for Shadow Ball/Evil Eye/Ice Beam, but being able to tank special hits, this thing is a beast. I'm using Toxic for poisoning, which stalls betetr than Will-O-Wisp, but Boiling Water can burn anyway. But other than that, standard set.

    Will-O-Wisp

    My physical wall of the team. Desukan surprisingly has good synergy with Burungeru. With the jellyfish intoxifying everything and Desukan going all Pink Evil Eyeing everything as well as burning them to the ground, Evil Eye get's a nice boost from it all, which is better than Shadow Ball. Rest and Haze are self explanatory derp.

    Grass Knot

    Scarf Starmie is alright in this day and age, being able to beat those dastardly special, and physical walls with the use of Trick. Unless gen 5 gets a tutor in here, Starmie fares well against other users with the same typing. This also acts as a special sweeper alongside a crippler. The water/ice/grass typing get's good coverage, hitting most stuff for at least neutral.

    Explosion

    Landlos is said to be considered "broken" and suspect, but I disagree. It may be since I suck at battling Pokemon, but it's just my opinion. Landlos is the main sweeper of the team, and seems to be this generation's superior Gliscor. It get's explosion in the least, which I guess is a good thing that Gliscor doesn't have. It seems that it has better stats everywhere. I have no clue about this thing.


    Well there you have it, this is my first Gen V team and my meaning of "walling".
    Rate, critique etc.
     
    The first thing I saw on your team was the lack of a Sand Streamer. Two of your pokemon benefit heavily from the bonuses (Randorosu and Doryuuzu) and that should probably be taken into account. I understand Sandstorm is generally set up by half the teams out on those servers, but rain's out there too, and Gorebyss basically wrecks your entire team (save Natt), especially after a Shell Break/Smash, whatever you wanna call it lol.

    I suggest getting Tyranitar in there to stop the Rain and make Gorebyss less threatening, while also boosting Rand / Dory. Not sure where to put him though, I'll let you decide. :X Keep Natt though as he's basically your only insurance against Rain teams as of right now.

    Another thing I noticed is, as you said, Rapid Spin on Dory. It's unnecessary for your team and X-Scissor should be put in over it, or Brick Break to deal with other Dory. Also, put Sand Throw as his ability as it's much more useful in his sweeping potential.

    I also have a preference for Sub >> Explosion (it got nerfed) on Randorosu, and Lefties >> Life Orb just to make him last longer. It's up to you though and I find the lefties/sub set to be more threatening to just about anything (even common switch-ins likes Bronzong).
     
    2 ghosts is kinda eeh.

    Dory + Landlos are pretty useless without the sand so i suggest you add T-Tar or Hippow in here somewhere, prolly over Desukaan.
