Strategy Overview
Through its unique typing, solid physical bulk, and perfectly-fitting ability in Regenerator, Slowbro brings incredible defensive value to its team, checking premier physical attackers such as Mega Charizard X, Mega Medicham, Mega Swampert, Mega Lopunny, Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Hawlucha. Slowbro also has a respectable Special Attack stat and can spread status via Scald, Thunder Wave, and Toxic, preventing it from being overly passive. It has a great variety of moves it can slot on and even a variety of items, often running Leftovers, various Z-Crystals, and Slowbronite. Despite this, Slowbro is threatened by many prominent special attackers, such as Ash-Greninja, Tapu Koko, Serperior, and Mega Charizard Y, and even physical attackers like Kartana and Tapu Bulu if they can get in safely. Additionally, Slowbro hates status conditions and especially Toxic Spikes, so a lot of players decide that the poison-immune, Toxic Spikes-clearing Toxapex is much less hassle to fit onto a team.
