[SET COMMENTS]

• swords dance plus speed boost should be threatening
• flare blitz is a great stab move off 85 base attack. sky uppercut no so much
• protect for speed boosts or shadow claw to kill Slowking
• life orb so you do more damage.
• adamant because you are speed boosting.

• lots of hazard support
• wynaut is useful
• eviolite if you want more set up opportunities.
• grass types such as roselia help against slowbro and other water types.

[Checks and Counters]

• slowking
• QUAGSIRE

terrible mon

 

[jake]

slowking* in checks/counters and i still think tentacool doesn't beat anything, even something as bad as combusken

aside from that, bulky waters in general should do the trick

QC APPROVED (2/3)
