- I like how you use sources without reading what they say. That was the source I used, and it doesn't support your argument at all. Skarmory is a wall because it's a very bulky mom that can wall much of the metagame, not because it counters a specific threat. Just because a mom (say, KYub) is a physical attacker and skarm doesn't win doesn't make skarmory not a wall.
- Additionally, frail offensive threats are rare by virtue of BST- almost everything above a certain BST has reasonably balanced stats. Nintendo doesn't seem to like to make them. Nevertheless, there are successful glass cannons- MDiancie, MGar, MBlaze, Gar, and to a lesser extent Deo-A, MSceptile, MAerodactyl, and Hoopa-U. The fact of the matter is that their aren't any other high BST glass cannons, so there couldn't really be more.
- The reason why offensive teams have a wall is for imposterproofing. Here's one that's both successful and possessing of no defensive synergy, however-
