Strategy Overview
Slowking is one of the best Pokemon for bulky offensive teams, as it can check Fighting- and Ground-types while still having respectable offensive presence thanks to its good Special Attack. Slowking's solid 95 / 80 / 110 bulk, combined with reliable recovery in Slack Off and Regenerator, ensures it will be around for a long time. Its good all-around base stats and excellent movepool let it run offensive and defensive sets equally as well. Its typing is nice too, granting it useful resistances to Fire, Fighting, Ice, and Water.
However, Slowking's typing also gives it five bad weaknesses to Grass, Electric, Dark, Ghost, and Bug, with weaknesses to Knock Off and Pursuit being especially notable. Base 30 Speed is also pitiful, meaning Slowking will often have to rely on sponge-and-hit tactics.
