Now that Gen 7 is playable on Showdown, I thought it would be nice if stall players shared their experience on the ladder so far.
Unfortunately OU was temporarily taken down so only AG is playable right now and needless to say, if you run into a full uber team there is very little you can do.
That aside, stall has been surprisingly effective so far, mainly thanks to Dugtrio's new attack buff, Aegislash's unban and Toxapex.
Here's what I'm running right now:
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic Spikes
- Recover
- Scald
- Sludge Wave
Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 232 Def / 24 Spe
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Iron Head
- Roost
Dugtrio @ Focus Sash
Ability: Arena Trap
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Reversal
- Screech
Chansey @ Eviolite
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 8 HP / 252 Def / 248 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Heal Bell
- Seismic Toss
- Thunder Wave
- Soft-Boiled
Sableye-Mega @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Foul Play
Aegislash @ Leftovers
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Toxic
- Shadow Ball
- King's Shield

Not that guy but considering that 99% of bans are offensive mons I don't see how stall is gonna get it worse.
Right now shit like Xurkitree and Kartana can run through an entire stall team if left unchecked (which is why Dugtrio is pretty much mandatory) but since they're eventually gonna get axed stall is only going to benefit from that.
And don't even get me started on how utterly disgusting Toxapex and Pyukumuku (no it's NOT a shitmon) are.
Get read for another stall-heavy generation because I can't see it going in any other direction.

Guzzlord is a surprisingly solid RestTalk shuffler.
Pyukumuku is essentially a bulkier Quagsire without Scald so it may or may not be an upgrade depending on the situation.
M-Sableye's turn 1 Prankster "nerf" can be played to your advantage with a slow Recover (meaning you don't have to carry Fake Out/Protect anymore) but watch out for fairies, especially the Tapus.
Overall stall is decent right now but not very flexible.
Aegislash is the glue that keeps the team together (as well as pretty much ANY team because of that cockroach bitch) so expect stall to suffer greatly when it gets banned.
