I got two, skarmory and forretress

ForretressLeftoversSassy or Relaxed natureSturdyEvs: 252 HP/252 sp. def/ 4 def

Moves:SpikesToxic spikesStealth rocksRapid spin

Forretress already has a high defense, so we ev train it with sp. def, and having Strudy won’t make it be KOed by a flamethrower, making it able to survive at least one hit and making it able to set up 1 hazard.

SkarmoryLeftovers/custap berryJolly or Careful natureSturdyEvs: 252 HP/136sp. Def/ 116 def/4 atk

Moves:SpikesStealth rockWhirlwindSteel wing/ Brave Bird

Skarmory has high defense, decent sp. def, good atk, but low HP, so we give it max evs in HP. Steel wing or Brave bird for attacking moves, so when skarmory is taunted, it can still do something. Strudy for at least 1 hazard and custap berry to make it go first after Strudy is activated and do a ton of damage to the opponent after it set up 1 hazard and to do heavy damage before dieing.

I would personally suggest Skarmory, it is faster than Forrestress and can still play the same role.

Hope I helped!

Here are a couple of Pokémon who really are the masters of controlling entry hazards in the meta game:

Forretress

Forretress has access to Stealth Rock, Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Rapid Spin.

Cloyster

Cloyster has access to Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Rapid Spin.

Skarmory

Skarmory has access to Stealth Rock, Spikes, Taunt, Whirlwind and Defog (Gen IV only)

Deoxys-D

Deoxys Defence Forme has access to Stealth Rock, Spikes and Taunt.

Donphan

Donphan has access to Roar, Stealth Rock and Rapid Spin.

The reason I have listed these Pokémon, is because each of them have decent bulk, and because the majority of them can either set up more than one entry hazard, or clear away entry hazards.

Hope I helped :)
