A list of Specially Defensive wall Pokemon?
I’m building a experimental team, and I’ve already pinned down Bastiodon as my physical wall, but, other than the kind of obvious choices like Blissey or Sylveon. So, could someone give me some kind of Pokemon they would recommend? Bonus points if they happen to be more obscure.

Some good Specially Defensive Walls include:
CresseliaThis is one of the bulkiest Pokemon around, and for good reason. Nearly impossible to be OHKOed, Cresselia sits there and laughs at Draco Meteors and Scalds that simple slide off its Duck Skin.
MiloticMilotic is another extremely bulky Special Wall. It can take special hits really well with its stellar base 125 Special Defence while dishing out boiling-hot Scalds and Toxic at her assailants.
SuicuneWith its famed “Crocune” Resttalk Mono-Attacking set feared across generations, Suicune is an extremely bulky water type. Set up a few Calm Minds and this thing is nearly unbreakable on the Special side unless the opponent scores a lucky crit, of course.
SnorlaxAssault Vest Snorlax is another pretty good option you can take as a Specially Defensive tank that can both take and dish out hits. Thanks to Thick Fat it is great at absorbing Fire Blasts and Ice Beams and hitting hard in return.
GoodraAssault Vest Goodra acts like a Specially attacking version of Assault Vest Snorlax, with powerful BoltBeam Coverage (Ice Beam + Thunderbolt), Fire Blast, Draco Meteor/Dragon Pulse, Sludge Wave, this thing gets a lot of coverage and has a useful immunity to Leech Seed or Spore shenanigans with its Sap Sipper Ability.
Shuckle is a good choice for attack or defense! It has the highest defense so it can switch it to the highest attack!
I would suggest the following Pokemon:
Dusknoir/Dusclops:Even though this is in NU, it still has great defenses (in both Special and Physical). With Eviolite, Dusclops can even be tankier than its evolution (Dusknoir).
Goodra: With great Sp. Def and Sp. Atk, Goodra can be either a staller or a bulky special sweeper. Goodra also has a great ability in Hydration, which allows it to use Rest and recover Sleep status in Rain.
Latias: Also a suitable Sp. Def tank. It has access to a variety of helpful moves, like Thunder Wave, Reflect, Light Screen, Healing Wish and more.
Snorlax: Can be a great Physical attacker and a good Sp. Def tank.
Mantine: Has great Sp. Def and can use Aqua Ring + Leftovers Recovery. Confuse Ray and Toxic are also great moves it can use.
Lugia: Great Defenses and can parashuffle effectively. It can also run a straight forward sweeper set; but Lugia has better Defenses and would be a better staller or parashuffler.
I’ll add more later. Hope I helped!
