What is the most defensively inclined Pokemon?

I’ve been looking for a Pokemon that can take hits, and haven’t had much luck. Something among the level of, let’s say, a Blissey, stats-wise, only defensively instead of special defense. Any suggestions?

I’m not sure if you’re playing in a particular tier or not but your tag says “xy” so I’ll assume this is in game, however I’ll list a variety of Defensive Pokémon in Ubers and OU which are also the most commonly used Defensive Pokémon. If you do happen to be playing in a tier if you let me know and it’s not Ubers or OU, then I’ll list the Defensive Pokémon in the tier you’re playing in.

Highest Defense stat in the game and a great ability for it, Filter makes every super effective attack do x0.75 damage making it alot harder to take down.Here’s a moveset:

Aggron @ AggroniteAbility: SturdyEVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpDAdamant Nature- Rest- Sleep Talk- Iron Head- Brick Break

Incredibly bulky with 123Def and 120SpD and plenty of HP to back those stats up, it can stall for days.Here’s a moveset:

Venusaur @ VenusauriteAbility: ChlorophyllEVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpeTimid Nature- Synthesis- Leech Seed- Substitute- Giga Drain

Some of the best defensive physical walls areSkarmory,MandibuzzandGliscor.They have very good defenses and skarmory and gliscor can set up rocks as well as get rid of them. While mandibuzz can get rid of rocks but has better special defense than the other 2.

Gliscor is perhaps more annoying due to it’s ability, you can heal around 24% in 2 turns by using protect on the second turn.Gliscor does have a disadvantage when it comes to typing by having 4x weakness to ice. But it tanks a physical ice punch from most Pokemon when at full HP (not that you should stay in an ice punch if you predict one). But special hits cripple gliscor as well.

Skarmory is a steel type providing tons of resistances and only fire and electric as it’s weakness, stay clear of this and you’re fine.

Mandibuzz is really useful to switch into Pokemon who have set up 1 swords dance/Dragon dance etc and foul play nearly always kills them. And you can phase out other Pokemon who try to set up by whirlwinding as well. Mandibuzz has good HP and good defenses making her a good wall. It’s also weakness to fairy, electric, ice and rock.

These are 3 good defensive Pokemon in OU.

Hope I helped :)

As for non-uber Pokemon, I would saySkarmoryis an amazing physical wall. Two other ones includeGliscorandFerrothorn.

All of these do really well as physical walls.
