Name: Slow and steady wins the battle
General Description: A slow Pokemon that can shut down fast Pokemon completely without using utility moves that raise speed for the user, and can use moves that have more power when you are hit to its advantage.
Justification: The introduction of gen 6 has left us with the fastest Pokemon ever. Greninja, Talonflame, Pinsir, Charizard X are dominating the meta now. Sticky Web also became a huge factor the moment it was introduced. This Pokemon will have a positive effect on the meta by defeating the speedy Pokemon, allowing Pokemon who could work well but are hindered because of speedy Pokemon to regain their lost glory.
