[SET COMMENTS]

Calm Mind Slowbro makes for one of the best physical walls and late-game cleaners in the metagame. It acts as an excellent check to a wide variety of Pokemon such as Terrakion, Barraskewda, and Jirachi. Calm Mind allows Slowbro to turn into a threatening late-game cleaner capable of ending games easily. Scald can punish switch-ins to special sponges like Assault Vest Cyclizar and Hisuian Goodra and Dark-type physical attackers like Bisharp and Crawdaunt. Psychic Noise is preferred over Psychic and Psyshock to stop setup Pokemon from recovering, making matchups against Fezandipiti and Suicune more favorable and cancelling Amoonguss's Giga Drain and Okidogi's Drain Punch completely. Slack Off and Regenerator give Slowbro incredible longevity and the ability to consistently set up with Calm Mind during the course of the game. Heavy-Duty Boots is an excellent item that allows Slowbro to make full use of its ability in Regenerator to stay healthy throughout the game. Rocky Helmet is also useful, as Slowbro switches into the many Close Combats, Iron Heads, Liquidations while also checking Maushold and dealing damage passively. Tera Fairy rids Slowbro of its Ghost-, Bug-, and Dark-type weaknesses. Tera Poison makes Slowbro immune to Toxic from the likes of Okidogi, Fezandipiti, and Quagsire; keeps its invaluable Fighting resistance while granting it a Fairy resistance and removes its Dark- and Bug- type weaknesses to consistently check Okidogi, Mienshao, and others.

Calm Mind Slowbro fits best on balance and bulky offense teams, as they enjoy its ability to check the many physical attackers running around the tier. Cyclizar makes for a great partner because it resists Electric- and Grass-type attacks and is immune to Ghost-type attacks, while Slowbro resists Fighting-type attacks and other strong physical attacks for Cylizar and its teammates. Cyclizar also acts as a sponge for the many special attacks aimed at Slowbro and as entry hazard control. Amoonguss pairs well with Slowbro because it forms a Regenerator core alongside Slowbro while preventing it by getting poisoned from the likes of Fezandipiti and Okidogi. Amoonguss also eases the pressure off of Slowbro by helping in answering the plentiful physical attackers in the tier. Hippowdon acts similarly in checking physical attackers while also aiding Slowbro against Electric-types like Rotom-Heat, whereas Slowbro switches into Water-type attacks for Hippowdon. Krookodile is a good partner for Slowbro, as it enjoys Slowbro's ability to check Fighting- and Water-types like Terrakion and Barraskewda, while Slowbro appreciates Krookodile's ability to set Stealth Rocks, remove items with Knock Off and take care of the Steel- and Ghost-types like Hisuian Goodra and Gengar that threaten Slowbro. Slither Wing is a great offensive partner for Slowbro because it invites Fezandipiti and Okidogi for Slowbro and resists Dark-type attacks for it. Calm Mind Fezandipiti and Slowbro work well together, as they both weaken Steel-types like Empoleon and Jirachi for each other while doubling as Fighting-type answers. Fezandipiti and Jirachi are excellent teammates because they form great synergy with Slowbro and are good Pokemon in general due to their ability to spread status and act as pivots while throttling setup attempts with Taunt and Encore, respectively.

Calm Mind Slowbro makes for one of the best physical walls and late-game cleaners in the metagame. It also acts as an excellent check to a wide variety of pokemons Pokemon, such as Cobalion, Volcanion, Terrakion, Barraskewda, Moltres, and Jirachi with Covert Cloak. Scald is the STAB move of choice along with Psychic Noise that allow it to whittle down it's answers with burn from the former and the recovery blocking effect of the latter. Calm Mind and Slack Off allow it to set up and heal respectively. The content here is okay but give each move its own sentence, follow the order of the set, and try to elaborate more on what each move does / what it hits / etc. Heavy-Duty Boots is an excellent item that allows Slowbro to make full use of it's its ability in Regenerator to stay healthy throughout the game. Add a mention of Rocky Helmet. Tera Fairy rids Slowbro of it's it's its Ghost-type weakness as well as it's Dark- and Bug-type weaknesses, especially Knock Off and U-Turn and turn them into resistances and is an all around great defensive typing. The reader should know the type chart well enough to understand the flipping weaknesses to resistances, so give context to why that matters. Knock Off and U-turn are good mentions but talk about what is clicking those two moves and why Slowbro would Tera Fairy out of those attacks, etc. Tera Poison keeps Slowbro's Slowbros invaluable fighting Fighting-type resistance, gives it a Fairy-type resistance, rids it of it's Dark-type weakness and flips the U-Turn weakness while also making it immune to Toxic from the likes of Quagsire and Fezandipiti. Again, this is kind of just explaining the basic mechanics and not explaining why this matters. Try to communicate to the reader what Slowbro is using Tera for specifically and why it wants to flip those matchups.

Calm Mind Slowbro fits best on balance and bulky offense teams for as they enjoy it's its ability in checking to check threats like Cobalion, Terrakion, Barraskewda, Entei, Revavroom and the likes in one slot. Maybe restructure this first sentence to mention more about physical attackers as a whole rather than listing them as you did, to generalize it more as you'll go in-depth later in this paragraph. Cyclizar makes for a great partner as it resists Electric-, Grass-, and, Ghost-type attacks for Slowbro while Slowbro resists Fighting-type and other strong physical attacks for Cylizar Cyclizar and its teammates. Cyclizar also removes hazards for Slowbro teams is Slowbro ever gets hit with a Knock Off. Talk about why Cyclizar can be used as entry hazard removal, such as pivoting into special attackers that threaten Slowbro before using Knock Off / Rapid Spin / U-turn. Krookodile is also a good partner for Slowbro as it enjoys Slowbro's ability to check fighters Fighting- and, Water-types like the aforementioned Barraskewda and Volcanion Terrakion, while Slowbro enjoys appreciates Krookodile's ability to set Stealth Rocks entry hazards and remove items with Knock Off. Krookodile also takes care of threatens the Electric-, Steel-, and Ghost-types that threaten Slowbro. Like? Thundurus, Jirachi, Gengar, list a few. Slither Wing is also a great offensive partner for Slowbro as Slither Wing invites in Moltres, Fezandipiti and Okidogi for Slowbro while resisting Dark-type moves attacks for Slowbro. Slither Wing also takes care of Empoleon, one of the few reliable Slowbro answers, especially with Haze. Calm Mind Fezandipiti also makes for a good partner for Slowbro as they both weaken Steel-types like Empoleon and Jirachi for each other while doubling as Fighting-type answers. Similar to the last paragraph, add a little more context to this paragraph and give the reader some more information regarding what teammates are good for Calm Mind Slowbro both offensively and defensively. Mention stuff like Amoonguss, Hippowdon, Jirachi, and Mienshao, for instance.

Calm Mind Slowbro makes for one of the best physical walls and late-game cleaners in the metagame. It acts as an excellent check to a wide variety of Pokemon such as Terrakion, Barraskewda, and, Jirachi. Calm Mind allows Slowbro to turn into a threatening late-game cleaner capable of ending games easily. (space) Scald can punish switch-ins to specially defensive walls like Assault Vest Cyclizar and Hisuian Goodra, as well as Dark-type physical attackers like Bisharp and Crawdaunt, because of its ability to spread burn (I dont necessarily agree with this line, Cyclizar is a Special switch-in and a progress maker, not a wall. Goodra-H is not a SpD wall. An adequate special wall will be like Umbreon, which is still annoying if it gets burned. Maybe change wording of first phrase to smth like chips AV mons like Cyclizar and Goodra-H and limits their progress-making capabilities or something along the lines) . Psychic Noise is preferred over Psychic and Psyshock to stop opposing setup Pokémon from recovering, making matchups into Fezandipiti and Suicune more favorable (mention Amoonguss and Okidogi as well - stopping healing based moves like Giga Drain and Drain Punch is a good utility). Slack Off, alongside Regenerator gives Slowbro incredible longevity and the ability to consistently set up with Calm Mind during the course of the game. Heavy-Duty Boots is an excellent item that allows Slowbro to make full use of its ability in Regenerator to stay healthy throughout the game. Rocky Helmet is also useful as Slowbro switches into many Close Combats, Iron Heads, Liquidations and other moves (mention that it allows Slowbro to passively deal damage, as well as check Maushold, you're just mentioning the things a bulky Water- and Psychic-type Pokemon can do otherwise). Tera Fairy rids Slowbro of its Ghost-type weakness as well as it's Dark- and Bug-type weaknesses. Tera Poison keeps Slowbros invaluable fighting resistance, gives it a Fairy-type resistance helping it check Gardevoir and Calm Mind Fezandipiti, rids it of it's Dark-type weakness making it a more sturdy answers to Okidogi and flips the U-Turn weakness while also making it immune to Toxic from the likes of Quagsire and the aforementioned Fezandipiti. (Fairy resistance isn't the main reason to run Tera Poison, the main reason one runs it is due to Toxic immunity, just emphasize that and it makes CM bro more threatening)

Calm Mind Slowbro fits best on balance and bulky offense teams as they enjoy its ability to check the many physical attackers running around the tier. Cyclizar makes for a great partner as it resists Electric-, Grass-, and, Ghost-type attacks for Slowbro while Slowbro resists Fighting-type attacks and other strong physical attacks for Cylizar and its teammates. Cyclizar also acts as a sponge for the many special attacks aimed at Slowbro and removing hazards. Krookodile is a good partner for Slowbro as it enjoys Slowbro's ability to check Fighting- and, Water-types like Barraskewda and Terrakion, while Slowbro appreciates Krookodile's ability to set Stealth Rocks and remove items with Knock Off. Krookodile also takes care of the Electric-, Steel- and Ghost-types like Thundurus (no it doesnt), Goodra-Hisui and Gengar that threaten Slowbro. Slither Wing is a great offensive partner for Slowbro as Slither Wing invites Fezandipiti and Okidogi for Slowbro while resisting Dark-type attacks for Slowbro. Calm Mind Fezandipiti makes for a good partner for Slowbro as they both weaken Steel-types like Empoleon and Jirachi for each other while doubling as Fighting-type answers. Amoonguss makes for a great partner as it forms a Regenerator core alongside Slowbro while preventing Slowbro from getting poisoned from the likes of Fezandipiti and Okidogi. Amoonguss also eases the pressure off of Slowbro in answering the plentiful physical attackers in the tier. Hippowdon also acts similarly in checking the physical attackers while also aiding Slowbro against Electric-types like Raikou (raikou is an unmon, remove) while Slowbro switches into the many Water-type attacks aimed at Hippowdon.
I would gather the regen mons together, i.e. talk about bike and then amoonguss as examples of regen spam, then mention krook and hippo as ground-type partners, and finally include fighting type teammates such as Slither Wing and Okidogi. Finally talk about Fezandipiti and Jirachi for just being good mons in general and adding synergy to the team, either by tanking hits or spreading status / disrupting setup.

tag me when ur done and ill double check
