===Stall===
===Stall===
A team building strategy that uses defensive pressure to create a standstill, while slowly damaging the opponent with [[status]] and other residual damage. Pokémon on such teams either have reliable recovery and good bulk in one area or check a certain threat that the team would otherwise fall to. Stall teams are reliant on [[#Hazard remover|hazard removers]] and [[#Hazard blocker|blockers]] to remove entry hazards, which can heavily damage the team due to the large amount of switching that is required. See also [[#Staller|Staller]].
