Galarian Slowking finds a niche on Psychic teams thanks to its incredible solid Special Defense and strong support moves such as Toxic Spikes. Sludge Bomb can spread Poison along with dealing with Fairy-type threats like Primarina and Enamorus. Ice Beam deals with Flying- and Dragon-type threats such as Zapdos, Tornadus-T, Latios, and Raging Bolt. Chilly Reception allows Galarian Slowking to safely pivot into its teammates. Finally, Thunder Wave slows down faster targets such as Volcarona and Greninja, allowing a teammate to comfortably remove them. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Galarian Slowking to safely come in; however, Black Sludge can be used to gain passive recovery.

Slowbro is a solid partner for Galarian Slowking, providing a Regenerator core for Psychic teams, with Slowbro being able to take on physical threats like Great Tusk, Barraskewda, and Cinderace, which threaten Galarian Slowking, while Galarian Slowking handles foes such as Primarina and Zapdos. Latios and Iron Boulder appreciate Galarian Slowking's Chilly Reception to safely pivot them in against threats like Kyurem and Iron Moth. Meanwhile, Galarian Slowking appreciates Latios removing threats such as Landorus, Gouging Fire, and Overqwil, along with Choice Scarf Iron Boulder emoving threats like Flutter Mane, Volcarona, and Tyranitar. Hoopa-U is appreciated for its ability to handle Ghost-type threats like Gholdengo, Spectrier, and Hisuian Zoroark and can use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty Boots from foes like Blissey to make Galarian Slowking's Toxic Spikes more potent. Galarian Slowking appreciates Hatterene's ability to block entry hazards along with its ability to take on Dark-type threats such as Hydreigon and Hisuian Samurott.

Galarian Slowking finds a niche on Psychic teams thanks to its incredible solid special defense and strong support moves (maybe mentioning what it checks specifically this early would be nice, and mention Tspikes as early as here). Sludge Bomb is the STAB of choice thanks to its ability to spread Poison along with dealing with Fairy-type threats like Primarina and Enamorus. Ice Beam can be used to deal with Flying- and Dragon-type threats such as Zapdos, Tornadus-T, Latios, and Raging Bolt. Chilly Reception allows for Galarian Slowking to safely pivot into its teammates. Toxic Spikes gives Galarian Slowking a form of entry hazard support. Finally Thunder Wave can be used to slow down faster targets such as Volcarona, Frosmoth (uses sub), and Greninja allowing for a teammate to comfortably remove them. Heavy-Duty Boots is the held item of Choice allowing for Galarian Slowking to safely come in, however Black Sludge can be used to gain passive recovery.

Slowbro is a solid partner for Galarian Slowking providing a regenerator core for Psychic with Slowbro being able to take on physical threats like Great Tusk, Barraskewda, and Cinderace who threaten Galarian Slowking while Galarian Slowking handles foes such as Primarina and Zapdos. Galarian Slowking appreciates Hatterene's ability to block entry hazards along with ability to take on Dark-type threats such as Hydreigon and Hisuian Samurott(move hatt lower imo, not really good nowadays). Latios and Iron Boulder appreciate Galarian Slowking's Chilly Reception to safely pivot them in against threats like Kyurem and Iron Moth. Meanwhile Galarian Slowking appreciates Latios being able to remove threats such as Landorus, Gouging Fire, and Overqwil along with Choice Scarf Iron Boulder to remove threats like Flutter Mane, Volcarona, and Tyranitar. Hoopa-U is appreciated for its ability to handle Ghost-type threats like Gholdengo, Spectrier, and Hisuian Zoroark along with being able to use Knock Off to remove Heavy-Duty boots from foes like Blissey to make Galarian Slowking's Toxic Spikes more potent.
