Thanks to its excellent defensive typing and great defensive stats, Slowbro is a threatening stall Pokemon in the 1v1 metagame. Its ability Oblivious helps it function as an effective PP staller, blocking Taunt from Pokemon like Corviknight, Haxorus, and Whimsicott. Iron Defense allows Slowbro to deal with physical powerhouses in the tier such as Galarian Darmanitan, Crustle, and Dracovish. Calm Mind covers Slowbro's mediocre Special Defense, which is useful against Pokemon such as Primarina and Salazzle, while also boosting the damage of Stored Power to defeat opposing stall Pokemon like Snorlax and Galarian Corsola. Slack Off allows Slowbro to heal damage taken while boosting its defensive stats. Rest is another recovery option that allows Slowbro to defeat Pokemon that use Toxic such as Chansey, but Slack Off is generally preferred to make it far less passive. Stored Power provides Slowbro with offensive capabilities that benefit from its defensive boosts, dealing with Pokemon such as Urshifu-R, Arcanine, and Kommo-o. The given EV spread with a Bold nature and the help of a Sitrus Berry is optimal for dealing with physical attackers like Haxorus and Galarian Darmanitan.

Slowbro's main gameplan is to tank hits while setting up to improve its defensive capabilities. As such, Slowbro's passiveness leaves it vulnerable to Encore and Trick users like Primarina, Aromatisse, and Gardevoir. Against stall Rotom-W, use Calm Mind turn one, as Thunderbolt will deal less than 75% HP, activating Slowbro's Sitrus Berry. Afterwards, use Slack Off until it is around 80% health, then keep using Calm Mind and healing until Slowbro is at +3 and OHKO with Stored Power. Against any Zeraora variant, use Iron Defense immediately followed by Slack Off. From there, alternate between Slack Off and Iron Defense until Slowbro can 2HKO with Stored Power without getting 2HKOed itself. In terms of team options, Scyther is a fantastic partner to cover counters like Porygon-Z, Dragapult, Gardevoir, and Rillaboom. In return, Slowbro defeats Galarian Darmanitan and Crustle while also being extremely consistent against Zeraora. Fake Tears Sylveon is also a fantastic partner for Slowbro, due to its ability to take care of specially offensive threats like Primarina and Kyurem as well as Dark-types like Urshifu-S and Hydreigon. In return, Sylveon appreciates Slowbro handling Choice Band Crustle and Dracovish. Furthermore, Slowbro is quite slow, leaving it vulnerable to faster Pokemon like Choice Specs Porygon-Z and Rotom-H. Choice Scarf Porygon-Z and Goodra are good options to alleviate that weakness.

Thanks to Slowbro's excellent defensive typing and great defensive stats, Slowbro is a threatening stall Pokemon in the metagame. Its ability Oblivious is what helps it function as an effective PP staller bypassing Taunt Pokemon like Corviknight, Haxorus, and Whimsicott. Iron Defense boosts Slowbro's Defense by two stages, covering many of the physical powerhouses in the tier such as Galarian Darmanitan, Crustle, and Dracovish. Calm Mind covers its mediocre Special Defense stat while also boosting the damage of Stored Power which can be helpful against stall Pokemon like non-Tackle or Defense Curl Snorlaxstored power obliterates lax this isn't a pp war and Amnesia implies that matters, any corsola gets annihilatedGalarian Corsola. Slack Off can be used to heal off damage taken while boosting its defensive stats. Alternatively, Rest is another recovery option that can help heal Toxic damage from Pokemon like Chansey and deal with other Pokemon like Silvally-Waternot a fan of the overlap, I believe steel is more relevant so please replace vally-water and Silvally-Steel. Stored Power serves as Slowbro's main attacking option increasing in power as it garners boosts from set up, useful against Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Arcanine, and Kommo-o. The given EV spread with a Bold nature and the help of Sitrus Berry improves its matchup against physical attackers like Haxorus and Galarian Darmanitan. It can also help to have better rolls against stall Rotom-H and Rotom-W. Alternatively, you can run Wacan Berry to have better odds against Zeraora. and the aforementioned Rotom formes.you just get tricked

Afterwards, use Slack Off until around 80% health, Calm Mind while simultaneously recovering your health with Slack Off till your at +3 and OHKO with Stored Power. ehh still not a fan of rotom as an example but it's fine, just mention you can get trickedSlowbro is notable for beating stall Pokemon, however, there are some Pokemon in which it should avoid*. Galarian Corsola can beat Slowbro if it isn't running Rest due to having Amnesia and Rest allowing it to stall it out till Stored Power is disabled +6 0 SpA Slowbro Stored Power (380 BP) vs. +6 248 HP / 84 SpD Eviolite Corsola-Galar: 250-295 (77.3 - 91.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO corsola has terrible odds, needs several disables first try and each time you throw one off even if it gets disabled you can just rest it off, corsola-g loses this a vast majority of the time. Snorlax can beat it if it is running Tackle or Defense Curl as it has more PP and can Rest. +6 0 SpA Slowbro Stored Power (380 BP) vs. +6 228 HP / 28+ SpD Snorlax: 333-393 (64.2 - 75.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO lax gets dropped in two and can't do anything about thatScyther is a fantastic partner, especially if running Wacan Berry Slowbro as it can cover its counters like Porygon-Z, Dragapult, Gardevoir, and Rillaboom. In return, Slowbro can lure in Zeraora, stall Rotom-H, and Rotom-Wjust change this to what slowbro beats for scyther as wacan is unreliabe vs rotoms. Fake Tears Sylveon is a good partner for Slowbro, it can take care of specially offensive threats like Primarina and Kyurem, as well as cover Dark-types like Mandibuzz, Urshifu-R, and Hydreigon. In return, Sylveon appreciates Slowbro handling Choice Band Crustle and Dracovish. Slowbro is quite slow leaving it prone to faster Pokemon like Togekiss and Choice Specs Rotom-H, thus partners like Porygon-Z and Goodra that can alleviate this weakness pair well.

*-change this bit about how to play these MUs. slowbro just boosts to +6 w/ cm AND id, at triple +6 even when the opposing stall threat is at +6 spdef it's not gonna save them due to stored power's now ludicrous 380 bp

tag me when implemented, I'm gonna want to do a bit of reworking
e: talked about changes over discord, giving 1/2
