Huge thanks to MamOwOswine for their beautiful artwork. 10/10 IGN.
Greetings, and welcome to the RMT. I have been on Smogon for a while now, and decided not to wait for my 500th post to do an anniversary RMT. Hope you enjoy!
Also I want you guys to know I won’t be on smog on so frequently anymore.

These pokemon formed the stall core, with PH Giratina, FC Aegislash, and the famous imposter Chansey.
I realized this team was weak to setup sweepers after Aegislash died, and decided to put Mega-Gyarados on the team.
And PBond Kanga was added after I realized that this team wasn't doing great with stall.
I totally forgot magic bounce until the very end of this build. Mega Audino is one of the best users not named Giratina, so I decided to run my take on its standard set.
The team-
Chansey (F) @ Eviolite
Ability: Fur Coat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Purify
- Shore Up
- Metal Burst
FC Chansey is a check to -ate users such as Diancie, and MRay. It is also a check to PH users, such as Xerneas, and can survive an unboosted close combat from MMX, and is the life and soul of the stall core.
Improofed by- Giratina
Giratina @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Shore Up
- Defog
- Spiky Shield
- Core Enforcer
Giratina is a premier defensive pokemon, with great defenses, STAB core enforcer, and makes good use of Poison Heal. In general, it is an all-around great pick on any and all stall teams.
Improofed by- Audino (immune to both attacks, and has Knock Off. Basically forces switches.)
Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Wish
- Spikes
- Shore Up
- Transform
Standard Imposter Chansey is the perfect way to check contrary wallbreakers such as MMY and Rayquaza, as well as scout for sets. It peroforms its role beautifully, and is the reason that we have to make our sets immune to imposter. I decided to not run phazing but instead wish support if it can't pull off an imposter.
Improofed by- Audino and Kangaskan
Gyarados-Mega @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Shore Up
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Spectral Thief
This is my other setup sweeper check and has proved to be invaluable when facing HO teams.
Improofed by- Giratina+Audino
Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Careful Nature
IVs: 31 Atk
- Nature's Madness
- Night Shade
- Seismic Toss
- Photon Geyser
Standard 2HKO Kangaskhan with photon geyser is a large help against shedinja (If protective pads) and many bulkier threats. Pokemon such as Mega Slowbro, Mega TTAR, and Zygod all can only be KOed (unless ya count DBond or chip damage) with Kangaskhan. It was originally in the core and sadly got debunked for my all time favorite pokemon, metal burst chansey. It regained its spot after proving how much it helps against other stall teams. (F natures madness and its accuracy)
Improofed by- Avoid Imposter
Audino-Mega @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Careful Nature
- Heal Bell / Spectral Thief
- Shore Up / Wish
- Knock Off
- Spiky Shield
Finally, we have the improof god, Audino-Mega. A great defensive pokemon, it is typically used for fodder, and to provide clerical support to the other 5 pokemon, particularly Kanga.
