Name: Stall God
Description of Concept: A Pokémon can singlehandedly carry stall and semi-stall teams on its back while alleviating issues towards the playstyle regarding offense.
Reasons for Concept: ATM, Stall is argubly the least effective playstyle in the metagame. This is due to a number of very anti-stall Pokemon such as Sub+CM Keldeo and Landorus-I being very commonplace in the metagame, as well as the prevalent offensive playstyles shredding it apart. So the idea behind this is to find a way to increase the viability of stall as a playstyle, and the best way to do that is to introduce a Pokémon which can carry stall, in the same way that Politoed does for rain. This pokemon should also act as a cornerstone that allows the playstyle to handle more heavily offense-oriented teams - i.e. the main downfall of stall. Another issue to the playstyle is Item Clause, so this pokemon should be able to function in a way that alleviates this issue for other members of the team, such as being able to work effectively without an item.
