What's a good XY-relevant Skarmory Set?

Going to MM for one since I have a female in a Level ball so I may as well hatched one that's useable

I havnt tried it or anything yet but he seems like a pretty good Defoger to me. Hes immune to all hazards except rocks, against which its neutral.

Stall is perfectly viable right now.

HO is dominant

But don't tell me Pokémon with 11+ Defensive stats don't exist in OU.

none of these are dedicated walls
skarmory, chansey and every other dedicated wall are plummeting in popularity
stall is a low-ladder gimmick, otherwise it's dead.

HO is faster and high rewarding, while stall is very slow and kinda boring, that's probably why HO is dominant.

Before the bans, with powerhouses like Genesect and MegaLucario, a Stall team was very difficul to pull off, right now is a bit easier, since the most used wallbreakers have at least one or 2 counters.

You kinda need pokemon capable of handing said wallbreakers, but there are a bit more the one option.
You'll probably see a lot of stall teams with at least 1 or 2 member alike, but this could be also said with HO.

Only because skillless shitters are getting up to 1900 with Deosharp teams. But SPL is full of balance, defense and even full stall (and not with TFL's team)

There isn't just HO and Stall. It's not one or the other of GSC simulation or SIX SWEEPERS FINAL DESTINATION.

Yes, I know that, so?
The argument was about HO and Stall.

Balance is somewhere in the middle. It's also the hardest to make imo, because at least stall has one-or-two things that can wall vast swaths of the metagame, and their whole team is built to never die. Balance needs a solid defensive core with half the Pokemon at most.
