Slowbro

Psychic

Slowbro is easily the best option for a physical wall on Psychic teams. Its excellent physical bulk allows it to switch into physical attackers, such as Terrakion and Landorus-T, and threaten them with Scald or Thunder Wave. Slowbro's bulk also allows it to tank U-turn, which Psychic teams are especially weak to. Because it acts as a blanket check to physical attackers, Slowbro supports offensive Psychic-types really well, as they tend to have a low Defense stat. Slowbro has access to Regenerator, making it a great defensive pivot. It also has access to reliable recovery in Slack Off, making it a great defensive wall in general and maximizing its setup sweeping potential. It has a decent base 100 Special Attack stat and access to good coverage moves such as Fire Blast, Grass Knot, and Ice Beam. However, Slowbro's lackluster Special Defense makes it vulnerable to common special attackers such as Mega Gardevoir and Mega Charizard Y. Its useful Water typing allows it to act as a great check to Water-types such as Kingdra, which would otherwise break through Psychic teams with their powerful STAB Hydro Pump; however, it adds a weakness to Electric- and Grass-type moves, allowing Pokemon like Thundurus and Breloom to check it effectively. It has a terrible Speed stat, which leaves it outsped by almost the entire metagame and makes it vulnerable to Taunt. Slowbro is also very weak to status ailments such as burn and poison, as they hinder its ability to act as a defensive pivot.
