[SET COMMENTS]
Galarian Slowking serves Psychic teams as a strong special wall that deals with threats such as Heatran, Tapu Fini, and Nihilego while absorbing Toxic Spikes. Sludge Bomb spreads poison and deals with Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele and Tapu Fini. Flamethrower threatens Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Aegislash, while Earthquake covers Heatran and Nihilego. Future Sight lets Galarian Slowking support wallbreakers such as Victini and Latios by making them much harder for types such as Water and Poison to switch into, while Ice Beam punishes switch-ins such as Landorus-T and Garchomp alongside generally nailing Flying- and Dragon-types like Zapdos and Hydreigon. Assault Vest in tandem with Regenerator allows Galarian Slowking to pivot into most special attackers with ease. 12 Special Attack EVs allow it to always break SubToxic Aegislash's Substitute with Flamethrower.

For teammates, Slowbro is a physically defensive pivot that can take on strong physical attackers such as Landorus-T, Excadrill, and Urshifu-R; it also completes a defensive Regenerator backbone covering physical and special attackers for some Psychic teams. Victini helps Galarian Slowking break down Steel teams, as they both wear down their shared check in Heatran, and Victini can pivot Slowking in with U-turn. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele deals with Dark-types such as Bisharp and Hydreigon. In turn, it appreciates Galarian Slowking wearing down Steel-types like Aegislash and Celesteela so it can clean Steel and Flying late-game. Hatterene is an additional Dark-type check that also provides entry hazard control for Galarian Slowking's Regenerator. Jirachi deals with special attackers like Tapu Lele and Hatterene and sets Stealth Rock. Cosmic Power Mew is an excellent teammate that functions as a late-game sweeper; it benefits from Galarian Slowking removing Toxic Spikes and checking faster Toxic users such as Tapu Koko. Latios deals with fast threats such as Galarian Zapdos and Hydreigon.

Psychic
--------
44 EVs may be invested in Defense instead of Special Defense to always take Choice Specs Tapu Lele's Psyshock after Stealth Rock and better handle Choice Band Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos, which is important for teams lacking Jirachi or Bronzong. Scald may be used over Earthquake to dissuade physical attackers such as Landorus-T and is situationally useful when frozen against Kyurem. Using Psychic over Ice Beam lets Galarian Slowking immediately threaten Nidoking and Urshifu-R. Psyshock does the same, albeit worse, while letting Galarian Slowking beat Volcarona without Roost and pressure SubRoost Kyurem attempting to PP stall. However, using these moves instead of Ice Beam leaves it unable to threaten Flying- and Dragon-types.

[mushamu]

AMQC, implement what you agree with.

- future sight should be in the main moves. it's crucial to breaking down many sequences in the tier and is a huge reason as to why galarian slowking is good. i'm not official qc so it's not really my place to change the set but it is something i would strongly suggest and would go over ice beam
- excadrill should be mentioned for slowbro. it's essential to walling steel

Galarian Slowking serves as a strong specially defensive wall that deals with threats such as Heatran, Tapu Fini, and Nihilego, and a Toxic Spikes absorber for Psychic teams. Sludge Bomb spreads poison and deals with Fairy-types such as Tapu Lele and Tapu Fini. Flamethrower threatens Steel-types such as Ferrothorn and Aegislash, while Earthquake allows it to heavily damage Heatran and Nihilego. Future Sight lets it support breakers such as Victini and Latios, making it much harder for teams such as Water and Poison to switch into, while Ice Beam punishes switch-ins such as Landorus-T and Garchomp which take negligible damage from its previous attacks and also heavily damages Flying- and Dragon-types such as Zapdos and Hydreigon. Assault Vest in tandem with Regenerator allows Galarian Slowking to pivot into most special attackers with ease. 12 Special Attack EVs allow it to always break SubToxic Aegislash's Substitute with Flamethrower, while the remaining EVs were utilized to maximize its special bulk.

Slowbro is a physically defensive pivot that can take on strong physical attackers such as Landorus-T, Excadrill, and Urshifu-R which threaten it and also completes the defensive Regenerator backbone for some Psychic teams, with Slowbro dealing with physical attackers and Galarian Slowking dealing with special attackers. Victini helps Galarian Slowking break down teams such as Steel as they both wear down their shared check in Heatran and also pivots it in with U-turn. Choice Scarf Tapu Lele deals with Dark-types such as Bisharp and Hydreigon, and in turn appreciates its ability to wear down Steel-types such as Aegislash and Celesteela to be able to clean teams such as Steel and Flying late-game. Hatterene is an additional Dark-type check that also provides entry hazard control to allow it to come in freely multiple times in a match and also threaten faster types such as Water and Dark with a Calm Mind set. Jirachi deals with Special attackers like Tapu Lele and Hatterene that it cannot handle and sets Stealth Rocks to wear down the opposing team. Latias Latios deals with fast threats such as Galarian Zapdos and Hydreigon, and removes entry hazards for Galarian Slowking. and provides a Ground immunity to help Slowking-Galar deal with Ground types like Nidoking and Swampert. latios is a lot more common right now anyway so i'd mention it instead if you're going to mention latias

i'd also add mew as a late game sweeper that appreciates glowking's removal of toxic spikes and ability to check faster toxic users like tapu koko

44 EVs may be invested in Defense instead of Special Defense so that Galarian Slowking always survives Choice Specs Tapu Lele's Psyshock after Stealth Rock damage and assaults from Choice Band Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos, which is important in teams lacking Jirachi or Bronzong to wall Tapu Lele. Scald may be used over Earthquake to dissuade physical attackers such as Landorus-T and Garchomp from coming in due to the threat of burn, retain its positive matchup against Heatran, and is also situationally useful in its matchup with Kyurem as it allows it to thaw from freeze, but heavily chipping Heatran the ability to beat Heatran with Earthquake to pave the way for Victini to sweep is generally more appreciated. Psyshock over Ice Beam is also another plausible option as it lets Galarian Slowking beat Volcarona without relying on Sludge Bomb's poison chance and not be PP stalled as easily by SubRoost Kyurem, but this leaves it unable to threaten Flying- and Dragon-types. i don't think psyshock is a thing really, but i would mention psychic as a way to immediately punish stuff like urshifu-r and nidoking as the reasoning

Rejected the Fire teams addition, it really doesn't

Galarian Slowking to come in freely multiple times in a match.

I wanna keep the multiple times ;w;

Thank you so much Bluecliqse

Yeah, I didn't know whether to add that but I just did because you used "such as" (implying there were multiple types of teams) so I thought you may have just forgotten to add it.

I wanna keep the multiple times ;w;

fair enough

merriam-webster guide
Semicolons are used when there are two independent clauses that are linked together because they are related in meaning. Basically, they help you link together two things that could be separate sentences. Read the guide to help because im terrible at explaining anything

here's a tip on semicolons; both "the part before the semicolon" and "the part after the semicolon" should be able to function as complete sentences on their own

"Here's a tip on semicolons." is a fine sentence, for example, as is "Both..."

Cosmic Power Mew is an excellent teammate that functions as a late-game sweeper; it benefits from Galarian Slowking removing Toxic Spikes and checking faster Toxic users such as Tapu Koko. Latios deals with fast threats such as Galarian Zapdos and Hydreigon.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============

Psychic
--------
44 EVs may be invested in Defense instead of Special Defense to always survive take Choice Specs Tapu Lele's Psyshock after Stealth Rock and better handle Choice Band Urshifu-R and Galarian Zapdos, which is important for teams lacking Jirachi or Bronzong. Scald may be used over Earthquake to dissuade physical attackers such as Landorus-T and is also situationally useful when frozen against Kyurem, allowing Galarian Slowking to thaw from freeze; however, the ability to beat Heatran with Earthquake is generally more useful. Using Psychic over Ice Beam lets Galarian Slowking immediately threaten Nidoking and Urshifu-R. Psyshock does the same, albeit worse, while letting Galarian Slowking beat Volcarona not carrying Roost, and it gives SubRoost Kyurem a harder time PP stalling without Roost and pressure SubRoost Kyurem attempting to PP stall. However, using these moves instead of Ice Beam leaves it unable to threaten Flying- and Dragon-types.
