As of right now, it’s probably gen seven where you can create a reliable stall team with Mega Sableye, Skarmory, and Chansey, core. Contrary to what most people think,gen twois not stall. Apparently, that’s a misconception because while it was stally at one point, it no longer is. Offense is now common in the tier. Gen five and gen nine are probably the worst tiers for stall due to the crazy amount of offense. Gen eight it struggles a bit and I rarely saw it in the ladder when it was the current gen. Not to mention stall can get in a lot of trouble against the standard magma trapper Heatran and even trapper Fini
I found acouplepostson reddit which the main thread is about this question. The most common denominators are the start of gen six when Mega Sableye was released and start of gen seven when Dugtrio trapped and destroyed all stall counters
