[SET COMMENTS]
Slowbro takes advantage of its stellar physical bulk, Regenerator, and Teleport to act as an excellent bulky pivot. Scald is preferred for its good chance to permanently hinder most physical attackers such as Mega Scizor and Landorus-T while also deterring foes like Zapdos and Gholdengo. Body Press can be used while holding a Colbur Berry to survive a hit from Mega Tyranitar, Kingambit, and Hisuian Samurott, allowing Slowbro to retaliate with Body Press. Future Sight is used in combination with Teleport to help offensive teammates such as Mega Lopunny, Urshifu-R, and Zamazenta break Pokemon like Toxapex and Alomomola. Thunder Wave is an alternative to Slack Off that punishes Pokemon such as Volcarona, Ogerpon-W, and Dragapult that attempt to set up in front of Slowbro and permanently hinders switch-ins like Tapu Lele and Tornadus-T that Slowbro otherwise struggles against. Heavy-Duty Boots affords Slowbro much more freedom to pivot, while Rocky Helmet punishes weak contact moves, such as Landorus-T's U-turn, and resisted hits from Pokemon such as Urshifu-R and Mega Medicham.

Slowbro fits best on balance and bulky offense teams that feature Pokemon such as Urshifu-R and Zamazenta that benefit from its Future Sight and pivoting capabilities while answering Kingambit and Hisuian Samurott, which Slowbro struggles to beat. Slowbro can also be paired with fellow Regenerator users such as Tornadus-T to form a double Regenerator core, with Tornadus-T answering Grass-type Pokemon such as Kartana and Ogerpon-W. Teammates like Ferrothorn and Gliscor can help against Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt, which Slowbro struggles against. In return, Slowbro deals with Urshifu-R and Mega Medicham. Dark-type Pokemon such as Mega Tyranitar, Kingambit, and Ting-Lu pair well with Slowbro, as they deal with Gholdengo and Dragapult, which easily break Slowbro: the former two teammates have the added boon of Pursuit to forcibly remove these Ghost-types and help stave off Choice-locked Tapu Lele.

Slowbro takes advantage of its stellar physical bulk alongside Regenerator and Teleport to act as an excelent bulky pivot. Scald is preferred for its general aplicability and usefulness for scald, this is a little vague. Mention some of the stuff it can cripple long term or deter free entry from, like Sciz or pult or ferro. However you’d want to word that is fine, though Body Press can be used while holding a Colbur Berry to survive a hit from Mega Tyranitar, Kingambit, and Hisuian Samurott, with Body Press OHKOing the former two while dealing heavy damage to the latter. Future Sight is used in combination with Teleport to help offensive teammates such as Urshifu-R and Zamazenta to help them break Pokemon such as Toxapex and Zapdos Alomomola I like this example a tad more because this implies you can click into a static Zapdos with shifu / click other moves besides sedge (it can 2hko without fsight) more freely with zama which can detriment them mid / late game if that makes sense. Thunder Wave is an alternative to Slack Off that punishes pokemon such as Volcarona and Dragapult that attempt to set up in front of Slowbro, while also permanently hindering the likes of Tapu Lele and Tornadus-T on switch in that Slowbro otherwise struggles against. Heavy-Duty Boots afford Slowbro much more freedom to pivot, while Rocky Helmet is an alternative that punishes weak contact moves, such as Landorus-T's U-Turn and powerful resisted hits from Pokemon such as Urshifu-R's Surging Strikes and Mega Medicham's Close Combat you can also apply this logic to their other moves asw (shifu cc, Mmedi zen) so I think this is easier to understand.

Slowbro fits best on balance also fine on bo if u want to mention that too for the same reason as this >teams that feature pokemon such as the aforementioned Urshifu-R and Zamazenta that benefit from its Future Sight and pivoting capabilities. Slowbro can also be paired with fellow Regenerator users such as Tornadus-T to form a double Regenerator core, allowing for near limitless switching back and forth while passively recovering HP. Teammates such as Ferrothorn and Gliscor can help against Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt which Slowbro also struggles against could mention how Slowbro helps Gliscor / ferro defend against offensive threats such as shifu / Mmedi. Pursuit support from the likes of Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit is also a powerful asset for Slowbro, as it struggles to deal with Gholdengo and Dragapult, while also hepling stave off Choice-locked Tapu Lele that is also able to break Slowbro easily.

Thunder Wave is an alternative to Slack Off that punishes pokemon such as Volcarona and Dragapult Mention Ogerpon-W as well cause it likes to come in to absorb scald thunder wave punishes that.that attempt to set up in front of Slowbro, while also permanently hindering the likes of Tapu Lele and Tornadus-T on switch in that Slowbro otherwise struggles against. Heavy-Duty Boots afford Slowbro much more freedom to pivot, while Rocky Helmet is an alternative that punishes weak contact moves, such as Landorus-T's U-Turn and powerful resisted hits such as Urshifu-R and Mega Medicham.

Slowbro fits best on balance and bulky offense teams teams that feature pokemon such as the aforementioned Urshifu-R and Zamazenta that benefit from its Future Sight and pivoting capabilities also mention what they do for slowbro to explain why they are good teammates to it as well. Slowbro can also be paired with fellow Regenerator users such as Tornadus-T to form a double Regenerator core torn also check grass types like rilla and kart for it that’s noteworthy, allowing for near limitless switching back and forth while passively recovering HP Fluff. Teammates such as Ferrothorn and Gliscor can help against Tapu Koko and Raging Bolt which Slowbro also struggles against, while in return Slowbro deals with Urshifu-R and Mega Medicham. Pursuit support from the likes of Mega Tyranitar and Kingambit is also a powerful asset for Slowbro Ting-Lu is a solid partner that deserves a mention as well , as it struggles to deal with Gholdengo and Dragapult, while also hepling helping stave off Choice-locked Tapu Lele that is also able to break Slowbro easily.
