Slowbro

Slowbro's excellent defensive typing and great defensive stats allow it to act as a physical blanket check to key offensive Pokemon in the tier like Metagross and Tyrantrum. Its resistance to Fighting-type moves is particularly noteworthy, letting it switch into various threats such as Passimian, Toxicroak, and Bewear with ease. This is achieved thanks to Slowbro's exceptional longevity; its combination of Regenerator and Slack Off ensures it will be able to pivot into physical attackers throughout the whole match. Unfortunately, Slowbro faces competition from the other Water- and Psychic-types in the tier, such as Milotic, Mantine, and Necrozma, although unlike the former two, it is able to avoid passivity issues due to its decent Special Attack combined with a good offensive movepool. Although its typing blesses it with important resistances, it is also cursed with multiple weaknesses to common offensive typings like Grass, Dark, and Electric, which makes Slowbro vulnerable to powerful threats like Shaymin, Mega Blastoise, and Raikou. Additionally, it can get chipped for big damage or removed from the game entirely by trappers such as Drapion and Escavalier. Slowbro is also unable to dent most Water-types like Milotic and Mega Blastoise unless running the niche Grass Knot or Toxic. Finally, its mediocre Special Defense stat leaves it unable to wall specially offensive threats such as Noivern and Nidoqueen.
