What Pokemon make good weather tanks/stallers?
I know Absol asked about sweepers, but what about the ones that are kinda slow, like Rain-Hydration-Vaporeon and Overcoat-Mandibuzz?? They’re pretty good….

Sand:
Heatran @ LeftoversTrait: Flash FireCalm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)EVs: 252 HP/ 186 SDef/ 72 Def- Earth Power- Torment- Magma Storm/Lava Plume- SubstituteTormenTran set. Substitute and Torment help stall, Sand Damage stacks nicely with Residual damage (Magma Storm) or Burn (Lava Plume).
Gastrodon @ LeftoversTrait: Storm DrainCalm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)EVs: 252 HP/ 252 SDef/ 4 Def- Scald- Recover- Ice Beam/Earth Power- StockpileStockpile and Recover make Gastro a beast, Scald burning can shut down any physical counters.
Rain:
Ferrothorn @ LeftoversTrait: Iron BarbsImpish Nature (+Def, -SAtk)EVs: 252 HP/ 248 Def/ 12 SDef- Leech Seed- Thunder Wave- Stealth Rock- Power WhipIn Rain, Ferrothorn’s x4 Fire Weakness is softened. Leech Seed + Leftovers make great recovery/stalling tools and thunder wave can cripple sweepers on the switch-in.
Dragonite @ Leftovers (Physical)Trait: MultiscaleJolly Nature (+Spe, -SAtk)EVs: 252 Spe/ 200 HP/ 56 Atk- Dragon Claw/Outrage- ExtremeSpeed- Earthquake/Superpower- Roostphysical tank. Leftovers and Roost abuse Multiscales damage reduction.
Dragonite @ Leftovers (Special)Trait: MultiscaleTimid Nature (+Spe, -Atk)EVs: 252 Spe/ 186 HP/ 72 SAtk- Thunder- Hurricane- Surf- RoostNo Dragon type STAB?! yes, since Thunder and STAB Hurricane both become 100 acc in Rain, and Surf gets a 50% BP boost bringing its BP to 143 which with an acc of 100 can put the hurt on stuff.

well, there are some weather abusers for stall teams I have found useful. Magic Guard Reuniclus can be used as well but I figured you can find that set easily.
hope this helps :)
