[SET COMMENTS]
With formidable physical bulk and longevity with reliable recovery in Slack Off and Regenerator, Slowbro is a wall that provides momentum for Psychic teams. Scald is a STAB option that targets Ground-types such as Great Tusk, Mega Swampert, and Excadrill and discourages several physical attackers such as Meowscarada, Garchomp, and Mega Gallade from directly coming in to avoid a potential burn. Future Sight complements its pivoting with Teleport to make the upcoming ally more difficult to wall, Body Press alternatively minimizes Slowbro's passivity, allowing it to hit Dark-types such as Weavile, Roaring Moon, and Mega Tyranitar, which is further enabled with Colbur Berry. Thunder Wave is an alternative to hinder foes Slowbro lures in such as Sinistcha, Kyurem, and Ogerpon-W. No item held lets Slowbro check Poltergeist users such as Ceruledge and minimizes Knock Off damage. Jirachi can form a good defensive core with Slowbro, with Jirachi acting as a special wall that checks foes that would threaten Slowbro such as Tapu Lele, Mega Diancie, and Alolan Ninetales, while Slowbro checks Fire-types such as Cinderace and Mega Charizard X. Offensive partners such as Mega Gallade, Tapu Lele, and Victini make advantage of Slowbro's utility and pivoting, handling for it foes such as Gholdengo, Mega Sableye, and Iron Hands. Iron Boulder provides speed control to offensively check for Slowbro foes such as Ogerpon-W, Greninja, and Meowscarada.

[boomp]

- I also would add a scald sentence as its still nice for the new readers to know it deals with certain ground and fire types + potential burns on crucial threats
- Remove Meowscarada from t wave targets as Meow already does not want to swap in comfortably against bro due to a potential scald burn.
- Would take off Waterpon as a jirachi target as it just shits on us at +2 i would just keep m venu and kleavor.
QC 1/2 Good shit buddy

With formidable physical bulk and longevity with reliable recovery in Slack Off and Regenerator, Slowbro is a wall that provides momentum for Psychic teams. Scald is a STAB option that targets Ground- and Fire-types such as Great Tusk, Ceruledge (mega Swampert?), and Excadrill, and discourages several physical attackers such as Meowscarada, Garchomp, and Mega Gallade to directly come in out of a potential burn. Future Sight complements its pivoting with Teleport to cause the upcoming ally to become more difficult to wall, Body Press alternatively minimizes Slowbro's passivity to hit Dark-types such as Weavile, Roaring Moon, and Mega Tyranitar, which is further enabled with Colbur Berry. Thunder Wave is an alternative to hinder foes Slowbro lures in such as Sinistcha, Kyurem, and Ogerpon-W. No item held lets Slowbro check Poltergeist users such as Ceruledge, and minimizes Knock Off damage. Jirachi can make a good defensive core with Slowbro, with Jirachi handling Grass- and Bug-types that would threaten Slowbro such as Mega Venusaur and Kleavor (nyot really, maybe mention Jirach as a special wall vs Lele/M.Dia instead?), while Slowbro checks Fire-types such as Cinderace and Mega Charizard X. Offensive partners such as Mega Gallade, Tapu Lele, and Victini make advantage of Slowbro's utility and pivoting, handling for it foes such as Gholdengo, Mega Sableye, and Iron Hands.(mention Iron Boulder, which can handle Ogerpon-W decently enough while outspeeding Gren for Bro)
