Are there any walls that resist Ground but are not weak to Fire or Ice?
My team isn’t very big right now, but I’m trying to make a semi-stall team with Haxorus as my late game sweeper and Klefki as my support. I desperately need a wall in my team who resists or is immune to Ground and Ice but not weak to Fire, in order to protect these two important members and stall out threats.
My team’s movesets so far are:
Klefki @ Mago BerryAbility: PranksterEVs: 232 HP / 168 Def / 108 SpDCalm NatureIVs: 0 Atk- Reflect- Light Screen- Recycle- Hidden Power [Water]
Haxorus @ Lum BerryAbility: Mold BreakerEVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 SpeJolly Nature- Dragon Dance- Poison Jab- Earthquake- Outrage
As you can see, I’m going with the element of surprise to hard hit those types switching in on me. My idea is to then switch into a wall to ensure protection. Trust me, I did consider a Flying type but I’m so OCD I don’t know if it’ll work with Haxorus having an Ice weakness too. (Which is why I edited the post.)

Zapdos. It is flying, so you can switch it in on a ground type move. It gets stalling type moves, like roost, Thunder wave, and protect. It’s defensive stats are pretty good, and it has a fair movepool.
Maybe try Rotom-Wash, as it is immune to ground and resists fire and ice type moves.However, you will have to wait until the new update for Pokebank comes out.

You could give Mantine a shot. It also resists Fighting and Bug, which is really handy.
EDIT: It doesn’t resist Ice, but with it’s massive base Special Defense, it takes Ice Beams and Blizzards no problem and shrugs off any chip damage with Roost.
Moltres and Ho-oh both don’t have ground type moves affecting them, and neither is weak to fire or ice.
You might want to consider Gyarados.
