Galarian Slowking is an amazing defensive pivot due to its stellar special bulk, an amazing ability in Regenerator that allows it to switch into threats like Raging Bolt, Mega Diancie, and Iron Valiant consistently, and the ability to assist its teammates in breaking down the opposing team with Future Sight. Psychic Noise is an alternative to Future Sight, as it allows Galarian Slowking to threaten Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Pecharunt directly while preventing Pokemon like Toxapex and Tapu Koko from recovering, as well as hitting Kyurem and Zamazenta behind Substitute. Chilly Reception allows it to lure in foes like Hisuian Samurott, Urshifu-R, and Roaring Moon while letting in checks like Zamazenta and Mega Lopunny without receiving damage, giving them opportunities to break, which they wouldn’t have otherwise. This can be especially threatening with Future Sight support, which often puts the foe in awkward situations. Thunder Wave allows Galarian Slowking to permanently cripple threats like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Roaring Moon switching into it. Toxic can also fulfill this task, but it is mainly used for targeting bulkier Pokemon like Slowbro and Moltres and setup sweepers like Volcarona and Raging Bolt that leverage their bulk and longevity. Flamethrower allows Galarian Slowking to directly threaten Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Kingambit, and Gholdengo, which would otherwise easily switch into it and remove it. Heavy-Duty Boots helps Galarian Slowking preserve its longevity in the face of entry hazards, as it switches extremely often.

Galarian Slowking fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, which appreciate it bringing in its powerful offensive teammates while offering support by dealing with their checks using either Future Sight or status moves. The main deterrents to Galarian Slowking are Pursuit trappers like Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Weavile, as they can easily switch in and remove it. Therefore, Fighting-types like Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny are near-required. These Pokemon also benefit the most from Galarian Slowking’s Future Sight support, as it commonly lures in Dark- and Steel-types that they can take advantage of. Knock Off absorbers like Great Tusk and Gliscor are also appreciated, due to Galarian Slowking's weakness to Knock Off as well as the removal of its Heavy-Duty Boots, which is detrimental to its longevity. Pokemon like Gholdengo, Tapu Lele, and Iron Valiant give Galarian Slowking trouble, as they can all hit it super effectively, so Pokemon that can deal with them like Kingambit, Assault Vest Melmetal, and Ferrothorn are appreciated. Gholdengo in particular can easily switch into non-Flamethrower variants and set up, so Pursuit trappers like Mega Tyranitar and the aforementioned Kingambit work well as teammates. Finally, Galarian Slowking invites in many physical attackers like Landorus-T, Melmetal, and Mega Medicham due to its less than stellar physical bulk, so physical walls like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Slowbro are appreciated. These Pokemon also offset Galarian Slowking’s weakness to common Ground-types like Great Tusk and Garchomp. In return, Galarian Slowking can deal with Iron Valiant and Mega Diancie for these Pokemon, giving them more chances to break the opposing team.

Slowking-Galar is an amazing defensive pivot due to its stellar special bulk, amazing ability in Regenerator allowing it to switch into threats like Raging Bolt, Mega Diancie, and Iron Valiant consistently, and the ability to assist it’s opponents in breaking down the opposing team with Future Sight. Psychic Noise is an alternative to Futute Future Sight, as it allows Slowking-Galar to threaten Pokemon like Iron Valiant and Pecharunt directly, as well as preventing healing from Pokemon like Toxapex and Tapu Koko mention how it hits stuff from behind sub like Kyurem and Zamazenta. Chilly Reception allows it to lure in Pokemon like Samurott-Hisui, Urshifu-RS, and Roaring Moon, and let in a teammate that can deal with these Pokemon Who? An example would be good Zamazenta is a good example add another . This can be especially threatening with Future Sight support, often putting the opponent in awkward situations. Thunder Wave allows Slowking-Galar to permanently cripple threats like Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and Volcarona, while also crippling Pokemon like Roaring Moon, Kingambit, and Weavile switching into it bit too many examples just shave it down to like three preferably. Toxic can also fulfil this task toxic is much better into Volcarona I would mention that, but is mainly used for targeting bulkier Pokemon like Slowbro and Raging Bolt that abuse their bulk and longevity. Flamethrower allows Slowking-Galar to more directly threaten Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Kingambit, Weavile can remove weavile it doesn’t really wanna switch into it all the time unless with good prediction plus the others are more relevant, and Gholdengo that would easily switch into Slowking-Galar and remove it. Heavy-Duty Boots helps Slowking-Galar to keep longevity in the face of hazards, as Slowking-Galar switches extremely often.

Slowking-Galar fits best of on Offense Balance and Bulky Offense teams that appreciate it bringing in their powerful offensive Pokemon, as well as supporting them break their checks either through Future Sight or status. The main deterrent to Slowking-Galar is Pursuit trappers like Kingambit, Mega Tyranitar, and Weavile, as they can easily switch in and remove it easily. Pokemon that help with with this issue, like Urshifu-RS, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny are near required as a result. These Pokemon also benefit the most from Slowking-Galar’s Future Sight support, as it commonly lures in Dark- and Steel-types as a result of Future Sight that these Pokemon can take advantage of. A Knock Off absorber like Great Tusk and Gliscor is also appreciated, as not only is Slowking-Galar weak to Knock Off, the removal of it’s Heavy-Duty-Boots can detriment it’s longevity throughout a game. Slowking-Galar’d s (Make sure you use ' and not ’ asw) typing, although good, dosen’t lend itself to deal with special attackers like Gholdengo, Mega Latios, and Tapu Lele id reword this and just say how it doesn’t match well into these Pokemon and explain why, so Pokemon that can deal with these Pokemon, like Kingambit, Assault Vest Melmetal, and Ferrothorn are appreciated. Finally, Slowking-Galar invites in many physical attackers like who? due to it’s less than stellar physical bulk, so physical walls like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Slowbro are appreciated. These Pokemon also offset Slowking-Galar’s weakness to common Ground-Types like Great Tusk and Garchomp.

Slowking-Galar is an amazing defensive pivot due to its stellar special bulk, amazing ability in Regenerator allowing it to switch into threats like Raging Bolt, Mega Diancie, and Iron Valiant consistently, and the ability to assist it’s opponents its teammates in breaking down the opposing team with Future Sight.

This can be especially threatening with Future Sight support, often putting the opponent in awkward situations. I think you can also mention how being a slow pivot can give teammates a lot of opportunities in general. Thunder Wave allows Slowking-Galar to permanently cripple threats like Tapu Lele and Iron Valiant, while also crippling Pokemon like Roaring Moon switching into it. Toxic can also fulfil this task, but is mainly used for targeting bulkier Pokemon like Slowbro and Moltres and set-up sweepers like Volcarona and Raging Bolt that abuse their bulk and longevity. Flamethrower allows Slowking-Galar to more directly threaten Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Kingambit, and Gholdengo that would easily switch into Slowking-Galar and remove it. Heavy-Duty Boots helps Slowking-Galar to keep longevity in the face of hazards, as Slowking-Galar switches extremely often.

Pokemon that help with with this issue, like Urshifu-RS, Zamazenta, and Mega Lopunny are near required as a result. I think you can change the wording here to specify Fighting-types thanks to their synergy both defensively and offensively with GKing. These Pokemon also benefit the most from Slowking-Galar’s Future Sight support, as it commonly lures in Dark- and Steel-types as a result of Future Sight that these Pokemon can take advantage of. A Knock Off absorber like Great Tusk and Gliscor is also appreciated, as not only is Slowking-Galar weak to Knock Off, the removal of it’s Heavy-Duty-Boots can detriment it’s longevity throughout a game. Pokemon like Gholdengo, Tapu Lele, and Iron Valiant give Slowking-Galar trouble, as they can all hit it super-effectively, so Pokemon that can deal with these Pokemon, like Kingambit, Assault Vest Melmetal, and Ferrothorn are appreciated. Mention how Gholdengo can also switch in basically for free into mosts variants. Finally, Slowking-Galar invites in many physical attackers like Landorus-T, Melmetal, and Mega Medicham due to it’s less than stellar physical bulk, so physical walls like Landorus-T, Zapdos, and Slowbro are appreciated. These Pokemon also offset Slowking-Galar’s weakness to common Ground-Types like Great Tusk and Garchomp. Talk about some threats that Gking handles in return, such as Mega Diancie.

Great stuff, I was largely nitpicking. I'd also review GP standards so you make sure you're referring to Pokemon and items as Smogon wants.
