Slowking

Slowking's higher Special Defense compared to Slowbro's allows it to much more safely check dangerous Pokemon such as Choice Specs Keldeo and Latios. A good defensive typing provides it with many useful resistances, and its ability Regenerator allows it to pivot consistently throughout a match. Slowking also has good coverage in Flamethrower and great utility options in Thunder Wave, Toxic, and Protect. However, Slowking's Defense stat is much lower than Slowbro's, forcing it to use Protect to have a chance in Pursuit mind games and making it a much more shaky check to physical attackers such as Mega Lopunny, Mega Metagross, and Gliscor. Its Water / Psychic typing also leaves it weak to common utility and coverage moves attacks like U-turn, Volt Switch, Knock Off, Pursuit, and Thunder Punch.
