Anyone for a bulky Normal type?
All in the question really. Since the Steel-Nerf in X and Y, Ghost type Pokemon have become an insanely powerful type; resisted only by Dark and Normal.
So I’m looking for a defensively bulky Normal type that isNOTSlaking. With suggested movesets please! Thank you!

There’s bulky as in tanks, and bulky as in walls.
Chansey @ EvioliteAbility: Natural CureEVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp. DefNature: Bold- Heal Bell- Wish- Protect- Toxic/ Stealth Rock/ Seismic Toss
Still a great wall, but now she has to fear Knock Off.
Furfrou @ LeftoversAbility: Fur CoatEVs: 252 HP, 252 Def, 4 Sp. DefNature: Impish- Return- Cotton Guard- Toxic/ Thunder Wave- Roar
I mean, I guess you could go for a RestTalk set on Furfrou, but that would either mean being taunted or forfeiting a status move & Roar. Or you could bank on Furfrou surviving and just have Rest without Sleep Talk.
Snorlax @ LeftoversAbility: Thick FatEVs: 144 HP, 188 Def, 176 Sp. DefNature: Careful- Curse- Body Slam- Earthquake/ Crunch- Rest
Classic Curselax; the set itself is pretty self-explanatory.
Porygon2 @ EvioliteAbility: TraceEVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. AtkNature: Modest- Recover- Ice Beam- Thundebrolt- HP Fire/ Toxic
Aka, duck tank. Either HP Fire for some additional coverage on stuff like Ferrothorn, or Toxic to stall. Trace is more useful imo if you’re using it defensively because it can trace stuff like Poison Heal or Flash Fire.
Well, Snorlax has a 160 Base HP ,and a Base 110 SDef. I suggest using a Snorlax for Tanking.
Snorlax @ LeftoversAbility: ImmunityEVs: 252 HP / 160 Atk / 96 DefNature: Adamant- ThunderPunch- Ice Punch- Curse- Body Slam
Since Snorlax already has a base 110 SDef, we should invest in Defense. That way, it can always tank some strong fighting moves like Close Combats and such.
