Here's your starter Pokémon:
Iiiiiiits Magcargo!
And your starting item is:
Bustling Fungus from Risk Of Rain!
Now, Bustling Fungus is a really good item for status walls and mons like that - it heals you for 1/4 of your Health every time you use a non-damaging move. This also helps slow setup sweepers get a boost off before hurling themselves at the foe. Magcargo is very much the former, although it's not very good at being a wall. While its Defence stat is a very creditable 120, it only has an HP stat of 50 and its typing is not very good defensively. However, with a Bustling Fungus, you can recover from enemy damage while setting up Stealth Rock, spreading status with Toxic or Will-O-Wisp, boosting your already reasonable Defence with Acid Armour, and so on. Mandatory on every Bustling Fungus set, though, is Recover - which now heals a total of 75% of your health - and that allows Magcargo to tank more and more. However, you might want to ditch AA (or Rocks if you have another hazards setter) for Lava Plume to spread more status and avoid Taunt shenanigans.
Also, quite by chance, it sort of looks like an orange Yoshi! If Yoshis were slugs, anyway. =]
