Currently I've a bit of a weakness to Psyshock, given both of my balanced walls [Amoongus, Chesnaught] are weak to Psychic, and my dedicated walls have terrible defenses on one side or the other, and I'm not sure how to remedy this. The team works well enough that I'm fine with accepting a loss to Psyshock as it is.

I know Chesnaught and Amoongus share a lot of weaknesses, I took Chesnaught over Ferrothorn for a general weakness to Gengar my team had. I'm considering trying out Ferro to see how it does relative to a near immunity to Gengar.

Bulky Heatran has the potential to mess with my team quite a bit as well, but I haven't encountered one yet suprisingly. Camerupt can handle it fairly well, if it's still in good health.. but more often than not I lead with Camerupt.

I personally feel that every stall team should have one bulky attacker to do cleanup duty after the residual damage has done its job. I used Aegislash for this purpose on my last stall team, although since that's no longer available for stupid reasons you'll have to use something else if you want this direction.

Also, to add to the residual damage I find any sort of damaging weather effect to be very useful, and since Psyshock is already a pain for you Tyranitar says he wants a slot on your team. Also, I'd like to see Curse Trevenant find a slot somewhere on this too.

Old post and information regarding Tyranitar:
As much as I love Curse Trevenant, he's just not bulky enough for all of the switching I do.. and on top of that I've already got two grass types and they both fit perfectly. I'll see if I can't worm Tyranitar in here somewhere. I like Camerupt's combined burn and T-wave immunity, but that's probably what will be replaced.

Tyranitar @ Leftovers/Tyranitarite
Impish Nature
252 HP/Sp. Defense
- Stealth Rock
- Roar
- Rock Slide [for PP specifically]
- Pursuit

A bit specialist, but it'll get the job done, I do believe. I can't decide on mega or not, will probably give both a run. If I find that I need Camerupt more than expected, I'll try it in place of Chesnaught and drop Stealth Rock.

RE Bulky Attacker: That's actually why I started with Sylveon and Cofagrigus - Hyper Voice and Hex [boosted] hurt quite a bit later on in a match, even without the attack training boost. Payback, while aimed specifically at Gengar, is also not something to laugh off for frail attackers.

Played with Tyranitar a bit - the neutralization of my own leftovers proved more detrimental to me than to my opponent in many situations.. which is odd since the opposite was true when stalling in Tier Shift, but I can't deny the flow of battle :'|

I've editted my post with two changes - Heatran is now taking up Camerupt's place - it's bulkier, faster and more powerful, and only a tad different in typing. Heatran has worked magnificently so far, tanking all of the users of Psyshock with relative ease and providing all of the bulk I need to use roar reliably.

Other change is the removal of a relic from this team's early days - Spore is completely obsolete on Amoongus with so much Toxic/WoW on my team so I've dropped it in favor of Gastro Acid, which will help me to combat the likes of Clefable alongside Clear Smog.
