What is a great defensive Pokemon to set up with?
Sup guys, new to the forums but I’m just looking for a solid opening Pokemon to start with that can set up fast and take a solid amount of hits before going down. I was thinking possibly a Ferrothorn, or an Umbreon build, could you help me out?

To be frank great defensive Pokemon involve…
Bronzong (with levitate ability)- hypnosis/ weather condition i.e. rain or sun
Altaria (natural cure or cloud9) –leftovers item—cotton guard < with this and roost your pretty much immune to physical moves- roost-Draco metoer/ fireblast/dargon pluse< for everything else except steel PKMN-earthquake< for steels
Umberon (best defense- hard to use thou) –left overs item—curse/toxic: curse is hard to come across for umberon so toxic every thing dat isnt immune-moonlight/ confuse ray: recovery/ confuse ray helps with stall so you recovery more HP while they die-protect/ confuse ray: stall untill toxic kills em-fun 4 you, but very annoying 4 victim-payback/snarl/ confuse ray: payback- to avoid taunt issue/ snarl-support/ stall
Shunckle: best defence/ and a complete killer glass cannon if played on offencive
DEFENSIVE-rest(chesto berry)-stealth rock: really hurts fire/ flying and bug pkmn that switch in- safe guard:support team so no status issues-struggle bug: useless to have bugbite as shuckles attack sucks, struggle bug is just to make their special attackers useless.
OFFENCE-power trick: for god sake us this risky set after trick room or it will fail.-bugbite/rock slide/ stone edge-rest-stealth rock
Skamory(jolly nature)–lifeorb—brave bird <breed with swanna-stealth rock< tm tutor-roost-agility
Cloyster (jolly)–focus sash– forgets its crap sp def, its a great physical wall and sweeper-rock blast<breed with corsola-make sure it has rock blast too.-icicle spear: make sure your cloyster has skill link the ability- its beasty.-shell smash: should always be the first move used and focus sash helps you do dat.-razor shell
Musharna (relaxed/bold/calm)–leftovers/ wide lens—hynosis-dream eater-trick room/ calmmind-charge beam/ shadow ball
And thats all my defensive pkmn’s AKA a few of the best non legendaries.
Ferrothorn would be great.
