Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Psychic Noise
- Slack Off
When the tide turns, it’s usually Slowbro making the waves! Slowbro fills the role of both a physical wall and a potential wincon that can answer many RU metagame threats, such as Galarian Zapdos, Mamoswine, and Entei. Scald discourages foes like Jirachi from coming in on it while also spreading burn on switch-ins like Cyclizar, Hisuian Goodra, and Empoleon. Psychic Noise discourages recovery attempts from foes like Gastrodon and opposing Slowbro while targeting foes like Amoonguss. Calm Mind lets Slowbro get an OHKO on Hisuian Lilligant with Psychic Noise. Tera Poison gives Slowbro a better matchup against foes like Alolan Muk and Chesnaught while also granting it a Toxic immunity, which is useful for setup. Slowbro fits on balance teams, which value Slowbro’s defensive profile and ability to check many physical threats. Slowbro is vulnerable to Dark-types like Bisharp, Krookodile, and Alolan Muk; therefore, allies like Hippowdon, Chesnaught, and Amoonguss are appreciated to take on these foes. In return, Slowbro can answer foes like Talonflame and Entei. Slowbro is also weak to Ghost-type Pokemon like Gengar and Basculeigon-F, so it appreciates teammates like Wo-Chien, Cyclizar, and Umbreon.
