Unlike the OTR Slowking on site. This Support King is designed to constantly set up Trick Room for your team. It has fantastic defensive stats in RU with 95/80/110. In addition, it has access to the ability Regenerator, which allows it to heal itself upon switching out. The EVs are designed to switch into a Life Orb Moltres, with hazards off, and take two hurricanes. The spread is more beneficial than the standard defensive set, designed to take a CB Pursuit from Escavalier. This is because Escavalier is generally scared of Fire Blast once it sees Trick Room, and switches out to the opponents Slowking, or something of the sort. Moltres, however, is a big threat to Trick Room teams. Nothing wants to switch into it, and nothing can take both Fire Blast and Hurricane well. The three staple moves to the set are Slack Off, Trick Room, and Scald. In the 4th slot, I prefer Toxic. Generally the opponents best switch in to OTR Slowking is Slowking. Then they switch into Slowking and get hit by a Toxic, and cannot do much in return. Furthermore, Psyshock does not add much additional coverage, bar vs Cryogonal, which also does not want to be hit by a Toxic. More importantly, however, Uxie and Mesprit are common staples to Trick Room teams, so another Psychic stab is not necessary. Finally, Fire Blast is a mention to hit Escavalier as well as Tangrowth, with Stealth Rocks up, no SpA investment is needed for Slowking to OHKO Escavalier with Fire Blast.
