Needed: Special Wall for UU Hail Stall?
I need a special wall for a Hail stall team in UU. I have some specifications and I’m afraid they are somewhat picky, so please bear with me.

Chansey has amazing special defense and hp. If that hail damage adds up you can always wish or softboil.

Everyone expects levitate bronzong. Nope.
Yeah some of these sets are from smogon but they work great.
I may add more later. If you want to consider using regice, go ahead but it has the rock, fire, and fighting weakness you listed.
Duskclops is your guy:
Dusclops @ EvioliteTrait: PressureEVs: 252 HP / 176 SDef / 80 DefCalm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)- Will-O-Wisp- Rest- Sleep Talk- Seismic Toss
Now this guy isnt the bulky thing out there, but with Eviolite and your opponent being burned you can not only wall special attacks but those physical ones too. Rest Talk combo in-case someone trys to ware you down with Poison or Burn or you just need to get back that HP you lost. Seismic Toss over Night Shade so you can hit everything except other ghost(which I doubt you will stay in on anyways) for 100 damage everytime. He resists Bug, and is Immune to Fighting. The other types you mentioned will be doing little to nothing to him.
Well if you can cope with bug, and have CM< then Cresselia is your guy. It can be defensive and with Calm Mind then it becomes almost untouchable. It can be used in UU, though not common. It has good means of recovery, like Moonlight and Lefties. It can also access Dual Screens, therefore weakening moves even more. To get of Toxic, Will’O’Wisp, etc.. It has Substitute. Also, Levitate erases and ground type moves, so even if it’s not on your list there’s one more move you don’t have to worry about. A good set would be:Cresselia @ LeftoversTrait: LevitateEVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpDBold Nature (+Def, -Atk)- Substitute / Moonlight- Calm Mind- Psychic- Moonlight / Ice Beam
Sub or Moonlight, your choice, obviously if you choose Moonlight you can’t choose Moonlight for the other slot down there. Rest is kinda self-explanatory, Ice Beam is for coverage.
Weak to none of those types:
HitmontopItem: LeftoversAb: TechnicianEVs: 252 Sp. Def, 200 HP, 56 AtkNature: CarefulBulk UpBullet PunchMach PunchRapid Spin/ Fake Out (depending on the rest of your team)
HitmonchanItem: LeftoversAb: Iron FistEVs: 200 Sp. Def, 200 Atk, 108 SpeedNature: CarefulBulk UpMach PunchBullet PunchIce Punch/ Rapid Spin
Problem is that that Hitmontop and Hitmonchan have no reliable forms of recovery outside of Rest, and both have a mediocre Defence.
RotomItem: LeftoversAb: LevitateEVs: 252 Sp. Def, 252 HP, 4 SpeedNature: CalmPain SplitWill-O-WispThunderboltShadow Ball
I would suggest Rotom-Wash (best Rotom typing), but it’s OU, and Rotom-Heat is weak to Rock & Water. Rotom also has no reliable form of recovery, since Pain Split is situational.
MismagiusItem: LeftoversAb: LevitateEVs: 252 Sp. Def, 200 HP, 56 Sp. Atk/ SpeedNature: CalmCalm MindShadow BallPain SplitHidden Power Fighting
Again, situational recovery.
CofagrigusItem: LeftoversAb: MummyEVs: 252 HP, 200 Sp. Def, 56 DefNature: CalmCalm MindWill-O-Wisp/ HazeShadow BallHidden Power Fighting
DusknoirItem: LeftoversAb: PressureEVs: 252 Sp. Def, 252 HP, 4 DefNature: CalmShadow SneakWill-O-WispPain SplitShadow Punch/ Seismic Toss
SpiritombItem: LeftoversAb: PressureEVs: 252 HP, 252 Sp. Def, 4 DefNature: Relaxed/ ImpishWill-O-WispPain SplitShadow SneakFoul Play
Other Pokemon that are hit by those moves neutrally (which come to mind) are Kingdra, Muk, and Ampharos, though neither would make an especially good wall.
Other options

ScraftyItem: LeftoversAb: Shed SkinEVs: 252 HP, 4 Atk, 252 Sp. DefNature: CarefulBulk UpDrain PunchCrunchRest
My favourite set for Scrafty, but Shed Skin isn’t reliable.. in any case, this set sees a tank Scrafty that will be able to pack a punch with some set up.
Those are my ideas for a special wall. In any case, Ghost, Electric, Poison and Fighting are the only types that are hit by those moves neutrally. I might have missed some dual types that get neutral damage…
