[SET COMMENTS]
With a pair of Heavy-Duty Boots, Galarian Slowking can provide itself with an entry hazard immunity while still preforming its role as a special tank for Poison teams, capable of switching into threats like Choice Specs Latios. Future Sight can handle threats such as Toxapex, Pecharunt, and Great Tusk that can prove problematic for Poison teams and helps to break stalemates against more passive teams. Ice Beam hits Flying- and Dragon-type threats such as Landorus, Zapdos, Enamorus, and Latios. Chilly Reception allows Galarian Slowking to pivot in frail teammates such as Sneasler and Iron Moth safely and, when paired with Future Sight, allows for said teammates to get through checks such as Toxapex and Clodsire, respectively. Alternatively, Toxic can pressure threats such as Raging Bolt and Volcarona, while Thunder Wave provides a speed control option for Poison teams against Pokemon such as Tornadus-T.

Sneasler and Okidogi appreciate Galarian Slowking pivoting them in with Chilly Reception and using Future Sight to nail would-be checks in Toxapex, Hippowdon, and Rotom-W. In return, Sneasler and Okidogi can remove special walls and Dark-types like Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, and Hisuian Samurott. Iron Moth appreciates Galarian Slowking giving it safe switches with Chilly Reception, and its Future Sight support allows Iron Moth to break past special walls such as Clodsire; In return, Iron Moth can handle threats like Gholdengo, Metagross, and Sinistcha. Amoonguss provides a solid answer to powerful physical Water- and Ground-type threats like Barraskewda, Urshifu-R, and Great Tusk. Pecharunt's high Defense allows it to take on threats like Azumarill, Iron Hands, and Kleavor, along with using Parting Shot to create a bulky pivot core with Galarian Slowking. Thanks to levitate and its Fairy typing, Galarian Weezing provides a solid check to Dragon-, Ground-, and Dark-type threats such as Roaring Moon, Garchomp, and Ting-Lu, along with providing Defog support, should Galarian Slowking lose its Heavy-Duty Boots. Alolan Muk helps to check special Ghost- and Psychic-types that threaten to overwhelm Galarian Slowking such as Flutter Mane, Spectrier, Indeedee, and opposing Galarian Slowking. Overqwil can check physical Ghost- and Psychic-type threats such as Ceruledge, Dragapult, and Gallade, and it can set Spikes to pressure threats attempting to switch into Galarian Slowking's attacks such as Gholdengo. Clodsire can provide Stealth Rock support and can take on special threats such as Raging Bolt and Flutter Mane that can overwhelm Galarian Slowking.

With a pair of Heavy Duty-Boots Galarian Slowking can provide itself with a hazard immunity while still preforming its ability to be a specially defensive tank for Poison teams (specifically though, its more of a sponge for Choice specs Latios and sometimes Gren, it kinda gets overwhelmed by the other specs users tbh [hi FM/Dragapult/Specs Keld]). Future Sight provides a strong pressuring tool that can handle threats such as Toxapex, Pecharunt and, Great Tusk that can prove problematic for Poison teams (you could say it breaks the stalemate vs more passive types if you want, since Glowking likely isnt here by the time Fsight hits, so it cant handle it...). Ice Beam is used to hit Flying- and Dragon-type threats such as Landorus, Zapdos, Enamorus, and Latios. Thunder Wave provides a speed control option for Poison teams that can prove (mention a target [likely AV Torn-T being one of them]) invaluable while Toxic can be used to pressure threats such as Raging Bolt or Volcarona by forcing them onto a timer. Alternatively Chilly Reception can be used to allow Galarian Slowking to pivot in frail teammates such Sneasler and Iron Moth safely.(it also makes Fsight much more useful since you can chain those with the respective team mate [i.e. Sneas + Fsight means Toxapex is in trouble, while Moth + Fsight means Clod cant freely come in to smile at you]. Also swap ordering to match the set's slashies)

Sneasler and Okidogi preform greatly with Galarian Slowking apprecating safe entry with Chilly Reception and Future Sight nailing would be checks in Toxapex, Hippowdon, and Rotom-W and in response Sneasler and Okidogi can remove special walls and Dark-types like Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, and Hisuian Samurott. Pecharunt can pair masterfully with Galarian Slowking with its high physical defense allowing it to take on threats like Azumarill, Iron Hands, and Kleavor along with being able to use Parting Shot to create a bulky pivot core for Poison teams (move runt down tbh, below Amoonguss. Raise Iron Moth here since it chains with the fsight thingy. Also mention NP runt too). Amoonguss provides a solid answer into powerful physical Water- and Ground-type threats like Barraskewda, Urshifu-R, and Great Tusk. Galarian Weezing thanks to levitate and its Fairy typing provides a solid check into Dragon-, Ground-, and Dark-type threats such as Roaring Moon, Garchomp, and Ting-Lu along with providing Defog should Galarian Slowking lose its Heavy-Duty Boots. Overqwil can check physical Ghost- and Psychic-type threats such as Ceruledge, Dragapult, and Gallade along with being able to set Spikes to pressure threats attempting to come into Galarain Slowking's attacks such as Gholdengo. Alolan Muk helps to check special Ghost- and Psychic-types such as Flutter Mane, Spectrier, Indeedee, and opposing Galarian Slowking (place AMuk up over the qwil, since its still "better"). Iron Moth appreciates Galarian Slowking giving it safe passage in with Chilly Reception and in response can handle threats like Gholdengo, Metagross and Sinistcha.
*add clodsire for those stinks like FM, Walking Wake/Raging Bolt that the rest of Poison typically doesnt like
