    Oh and I'm open to all suggestions as to other Pokemon that can be tanks.
     
    Metagross is sort of a tank, but he can also dish out the damage as a physical attacker.

    Toxic isn't THAT good.
     
    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
    Suicune@ Lefties
    ~Rest
    ~Sleep Talk
    ~CM
    ~Surf
     
    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...
     
    Yes, set is indeed NOT reccommended. Ghost types say Hello. Especially Mcgar. You don't even get milk drink :(
     
    It was a joke set lol.

    Something like Cursetank = cool though.

    Curse, Return/Body Slam, Milk Drink, Shadow Ball.

    Just watch out for status.
     
    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?
     
    Registeel:

    Bug
    Dark
    Dragon
    Flying
    Ghost
    Grass
    Ice
    Normal
    Poison, immune
    Psychic
    Rock
    Steel
     
    So I was right.

    He has 11 resistances and 1 immunity heh.
     
    And that's like friggin 00ber :p
    Normal to water, electric,
    Weak to fighting, fire, ground.
     
    Not like they do a whole lot when both his defenses can hit over 350.

    Weak to what now?
     
    Exactly.
    This word limit sux badly.
     
    If he curses, he fears only fire. So dispatch the fire poke first :p
     
    I use cursteel

    Registeel@ LEfties
    EVs:76 HP, 56 ATK, 126 Def, 252 SpDef,

    ~EQ
    ~HP: Steel/Rock

    wat a shame registeel cant get cosmic power eh? Now THAT would be invincibility.
