Strategy Overview
Slowbro boasts excellent physical bulk, as well as key resistances to the Fire- and Fighting-types, giving it a strong niche in UU as an excellent physical wall and tank that can check many of UU's strongest physical attackers, such as Victini, Mienshao, and Darmanitan. Its ability Regenerator allows it to regain health upon switching out, allowing it to stay healthy enough to switch into such threats repeatedly. Thanks to its good offensive movepool and Special Attack, it can also function as a solid offensive threat, either as a wallbreaker with Choice Specs or a bulky sweeper with Calm Mind, using its immense physical bulk and solid defensive typing to find setup opportunities. However, Slowbro's typing, despite providing valuable resistances, also has several crippling weaknesses that leave it vulnerable to other popular threats such as Shaymin, Raikou, Zapdos, Roserade, and Heracross. Its middling special bulk further exacerbates this flaw against said Pokemon, something to keep in mind when using Slowbro.
