This is a stall/entry hazard abuse team. It's my first team and all, so I think it probably needs some touching up. Suggestions?

While overall it looks good, with Skarmory/Forretress and Blissey nicely balancing out on the defensive side, your choice of Aerodactyl (which has rather low defenses) without Sandstorm support to boost that SpD seems odd. As well, using a stall Substitute set on it without Roost is difficult to understand. Why did you choose it?

I wanted something that could force a switch and that didn't repeat a type already used. I'll try and fit in Roost and Sandstorm, though.

Not bad, but needs "MOAR ROAR".
