Strategy Overview
In the wake of a new metagame plagued with weather, Slowking emerges as the premier counter to such teams running rampant. With Trick Room and its atrocious Speed stat, Slowking can take advantage of the Speed boosts that many Pokemon gain from the weather to outrun most of its opponents. Furthermore, Slowking can often make use of the weather itself with its usable base 100 Special Attack stat and fantastic movepool. With its bulk and power, Slowking has the potential to make a huge splash in this metagame.
