This team has not too many stall aspects if any at all. The Heatran Amoonguss covers for Sableye Clefable so well it's just absurd. My core is super great, it's just Heatran Amoonguss. So I don't really put too much stress on that when I could rather use that turn for a Calm Mind or at least getting some health back. I just come in, I sit in there, and eventually my pokemon are going to win out just from not budging and having too much setup. This team forces a lot of switches, but personally I'm not an entry hazards kind of battler. It just comes in, has ridiculous amounts of Earthquake damage, which is why I run the Adamant nature, and also it's just really nice that if the opponent has slower pokemon or I'm just trying to look for a really good cleanup in the mid to late game, I bring in Excadrill, I chip in some damage, it eventually goes down but by then enough threats have been removed that i go back into Heatran Amoonguss Sableye or Clefable, and then I kind of win. So it's just extra Fairy killing or just high damage Earthquake support. So I can bring it in, set up into like an Earthquake, Iron Head or Rock Slide. Also Excadrill's natural hitpoint bulk makes it easy as like a switch in pokemon. I'm coming in, I'm going with a 135 attack, I'm just going to lock into that Earthquake, and I'm going to try do what I can. I'm not going for super ridiculous amounts of speed, but I'm looking to at least outspeed high base speed pokemon, or slower scarf pokemon, but its mostly just about the power. And this unusual Heatran has been one of the strongest things I've been using. This is the ultimate staple pokemon right here that, between dancing around with Amoonguss and stuff it's like, I bring in Heatran and time to soften up their team so I can really go for the sweep. Earth Power covers pretty well and Lava Plume for Scizor Ferrothorn. The rest of it is coverage, Flash Cannon, I come in, I resist a Fairy type attack super hard, throw out a Flash Cannon and if they switch they get a tonne of damage because Stab Choice Specs. Or if it's a Swords Dance Garchomp or Stealth Rocks, what happens is I bring in Heatran on the revenge and Garchomp comes in and I just throw out the Hidden Power Ice. I've been outspeeding Garchomps and throwing out the Hidden Power Ice. Right now, super tank Garchomp is a thing. Modest with Choice Specs means I'm getting the most out of my stats, and this is one of the most unusual things that has worked so well because people don't expect a Heatran to outspeed like that. My idea of this Heatran is running Modest, with some speed investment and hitpoints, it's just full speed full hitpoints that way I'm getting outspeeds. Heatran is unusual but here's the thing I don't need a hyper tank stall Toxic Roar phaze whatever Heatran. The rest is just kind of switching around until my opponent loses the thing that can stop my win con and then I just kind of win. I have two heavy win conditions in Sableye and Clefable and that's really what the team revolves around. Now the only drawback is Moonlight, but Moonlight is like the most legitimate way of running Clefable, because Softboiled is like some generation 3 almost impossible thing to get. Any kind of Steel type that's trying to answer to you, you can do really well against, and most of the time you can just endure a super effective physical hit like an Iron Head or something like that, because you have so much defensive bulk. Now the great thing about Clefable is that it covers for itself because it gets Flamethrower you set up one Calm Mind and then you predict like a Scizor and that thing is gone. Sometimes it takes them a turn to realize I might be Unaware so they go for what they think is a free stat boost and they don't do any damage and then I can get free setup and a lot of other cool stuff. And one of the biggest problems to the team is if a pokemon is trying to set up really quick, like a Swords Dance Talonflame, any kind of Swords Dance or Dragon Dance Pokemon. The reason why I'm running Unaware is because of Sableye if I feel a strong status is coming my way, I can switch into Sableye, have him like bounce back the status or something. Now normally on Clefable you'll see something like Magic Guard. And then you just kind of play it like an un-killable tank. What you do with Clefable is you go Bold nature you fully invest hitpoints, fully invest defense, 1 point in special defense big whoop. It's just one of the strongest pokemon in the game to use for a setup.
