With an Assault Vest, Galarian Slowking leverages its newfound bulk and already solid defensive typing to check threatening special attackers such as Tapu Lele and Volcarona while making use of Regenerator to sustain its longevity versus specially biased mixed threats, chief among them Mega Diancie. Psychic Noise allows Galarian Slowking to shut down Toxapex and Wish from Alomomola while denying any recovery from switch-ins like Gliscor and defensive Heatran. Sludge Bomb's ability to poison its targets allows it to ruin the already entry hazard-weak Tapu Lele and can rack up strong chip on otherwise sturdy answers such as Ting-Lu. Ice Beam is invaluable coverage, chunking other common switch-ins such as Landorus-T, Dragonite, and Mega Latios. Flamethrower is critical for Galarian Slowking, allowing it to hit the Steel-types that ordinarily give it issues like Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and Kingambit. With 224 EVs in Special Defense, Galarian Slowking is able to survive two Mega Charizard Y Fire Blasts.

Galarian Slowking can function on a wide variety of teams, but it works best on bulky offense teams where it can use its strong bulk and ability to scrap with ordinarily difficult matchups like Tapu Lele and Mega Charizard Y to give its teammates some breathing room. It has some difficulty dealing with offensive Ground-types such as Great Tusk and Landorus-T, so Flying-types such as Zapdos and Moltres that have an outright immunity to Headlong Rush and Earthquake or physically bulky Water-types such as Alomolola and Slowbro that threaten the physically attacking Ground-types with Scald make for great defensive pairings. Dark-types like Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott are the most prevalent issue for Galarian Slowking, so any partners that can handle them such as Clefable and Tapu Fini are greatly appreciated. Without Heavy-Duty Boots, Galarian Slowking can be worn down by entry hazards fairly quickly, so hazard removal in the form of Great Tusk, Terapagos, or Tornadus-T is key to maintaining Galarian Slowking's defensive prowess. Offensively, Galarian Slowking pairs extremely well with hard-hitting physical attackers such as Zamazenta, Ogerpon-W, and Melmetal, which are conversely threatened by the special attackers that Galarian Slowking handles so well. Galarian Slowking appreciates Spikes support to further atrophy the targets getting whittled down by repeated Psychic Noises, making Gliscor and Hisuian Samurott excellent partners, with the former serving to alleviate Galarian Slowking's Earthquake vulnerability and the latter serving as a soft check to various Dark-types and speed control with a Choice Scarf.

With an Assault Vest, Galarian Slowking leverages its newfound bulk and already solid defensive typing to check threatening special attackers such as Tapu Lele and Volcarona, while making use of Regenerator to sustain its longevity. Psychic Noise allows Galarian Slowking to shut down Toxapex it’s worth mentioning that it prevents wish passing from Alomomola as well, while denying any recovery from switch-ins like Gliscor and defensive Heatran. Ice Beam is invaluable coverage, chunking other common switch-ins such as Landorus-Therian, Dragonite, and Mega Latios. Flamethrower is critical for Galarian Slowking, allowing it to hit the Steel-types that ordinarily give it issues like Ferrothorn and Gholdengo Mention Kingambit here too. Sludge Bomb is the STAB of choice, with a nasty chance to cripple its targets with Poisoning that ruins the already hazard-weak Tapu Lele Mention Iron Valiant as well and can rack up strong chip on otherwise powerful answers such as Ting-Lu. Assault Vest also makes it better vs Mega Diancie you do wanna mention that as the beginning of paragraph.

Galarian Slowking can function on a wide variety of teams, but works best on bulky offense teams where it can use its strong bulk and ability to scrap with ordinarily difficult matchups like Tapu Lele and Mega Charizard Y to give its teammates some breathing room. It has some difficulty dealing with offensive ground types such as Great Tusk and Landorus-Therian, so Flying-types such as Zapdos or and Moltres, or physically bulky Water-types such as Alomolola or and Tapu Fini allow either a consistent Regenerator core with the former, or an effective Roaring Moon answer in the case of the latter. Indeed, Dark-types like Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott are the most prevalent issue for Galarian Slowking, so any partners who can handle them such as Clefable or the aforementioned Tapu Fini are greatly appreciated. Offensively, Galarian Slowking pairs extremely well with hard-hitting physical attackers such as Zamazenta or Melmetal that are conversely threatened by the special attackers that Galarian Slowking handles so well.

With an Assault Vest, Galarian Slowking leverages its newfound bulk and already solid defensive typing to check threatening special attackers such as Tapu Lele and Volcarona, while making use of Regenerator and more physical bulk to sustain its longevity versus specially-biased mixed threats, chief among them Mega Diancie. Psychic Noise allows Galarian Slowking to shut down Toxapex and Wish from Alomomola, while denying any recovery from switch-ins like Gliscor and defensive Heatran. Ice Beam is invaluable coverage, chunking other common switch-ins such as Landorus-Therian, Dragonite, and Mega Latios.

Sludge Bomb is the STAB of choice, with a nasty chance to cripple its targets with Poisoning that ruins the already hazard-weak Tapu Lele and can rack up strong chip on otherwise sturdy answers such as Ting-Lu. mention ev’s (survives 2 zard y fire blasts from full)

Galarian Slowking can function on a wide variety of teams, but works best on bulky offense teams where it can use its strong bulk and ability to scrap with ordinarily difficult matchups like Tapu Lele lele’s still shaky, can’t nessesarily switch into Psyshock, I’d suggest something else but it’s more of a nitpick if anything and Mega Charizard Y to give its teammates some breathing room. It has some difficulty dealing with offensive ground types such as Great Tusk and Landorus-Therian, so Flying-types such as Zapdos or Moltres, or physically bulky Water-types such as Alomolola or Tapu Fini Slowbro low key just more relevant allow either a consistent Regenerator core with the former, or an effective Roaring Moon answer in the case of the latter. Indeed, Dark-types like Roaring Moon and Hisuian Samurott are the most prevalent issue for Galarian Slowking, so any partners who can handle them such as Clefable or the aforementioned Tapu Fini are greatly appreciated.

Offensively, Galarian Slowking pairs extremely well with hard-hitting physical attackers such as Zamazenta or Melmetal I’d mention Ogerpon-W here, deals crazy damage and helps Glowking with grounds that are conversely threatened by the special attackers that Galarian Slowking handles so well. Galarian Slowking appreciates Spikes support to further atrophy the targets getting whittled down by repeated Psychic Noises, making Gliscor and Hisuian Samurott excellent partners, with the former serving to alleviate Galarian Slowking's Earthquake vulnerability, and the latter serving as a soft Dark resist and speed control with a Choice Scarf.

With an Assault Vest, Galarian Slowking leverages its newfound bulk and already solid defensive typing to check threatening special attackers such as Tapu Lele and Volcarona (RC) while making use of Regenerator and more physical bulk (What do you mean by this? Galarian Slowking's EV spread seems to be focused on special bulk.) to sustain its longevity versus specially-biased specially biased mixed threats, chief among them Mega Diancie. Psychic Noise allows Galarian Slowking to shut down Toxapex and Wish from Alomomola (RC) while denying any recovery from switch-ins like Gliscor and defensive Heatran. Ice Beam is invaluable coverage, chunking other common switch-ins such as Landorus-Therian Landorus-T, Dragonite, and Mega Latios. Flamethrower is critical for Galarian Slowking, allowing it to hit the Steel-types that ordinarily give it issues like Ferrothorn, Gholdengo, and Kingambit. Sludge Bomb is the STAB of choice, with a nasty chance Bomb's ability to cripple its poison targets with Poisoning that (fluff, dex info) ruins the already entry hazard-weak Tapu Lele and can rack up strong chip damage on otherwise sturdy answers such as Ting-Lu. (Shouldn't the Sludge Bomb sentence go after the Psychic Noise one, to account for move order?) With 224 EV's EVs in Special Defense, Galarian Slowking is able to survive two Mega Charizard Y Fire Blasts.

(This doesn't clearly explain how these allies deal with the Ground-types, can you elaborate?)

As far as I can tell, I have no grammar/clarity issues with how it's phrased now.
