LC Slowpoke

Slowpoke @ Eviolite
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 5
EVs: 196 HP / 236 Def / 36 SpA / 36 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave / Fire Blast
- Slack Off

Slowpoke may be slacking off, but that doesn't mean you should sleep on it. Slowpoke is still one of the metagame's most reliable walls, boasting huge HP and Defense stats that would even make Foongus jealous. It is one of the best pivots in the tier thanks to its great defensive stats and Regenerator, which it can fall back on when it is unable to Slack Off safely. This allows it to consistently check Pokemon such as Mudbray and Onix. Slowpoke can cripple foes with Scald or Thunder Wave, making it annoying to switch into, as well as having Psychic to deal with other walls in the tier such as Foongus and Mareanie. Unfortunately, Slowpoke finds itself susceptible to the very common Knock Off, as Slowpoke loses considerable bulk once its Eviolite is gone, making it lose to Pokemon such as Mienfoo and Timburr. Ferroseed and Vullaby make for good teammates defensively, as they can check Grass-type Pokemon and set up hazards. Offensively, Mienfoo and Snivy are a great pairing, as they can check Dark- and Electric-type Pokemon while also benefiting from Slowpoke's ability to spread paralysis.

. Slowpoke is still one of the metas most reliable walls in the meta boasting a huge HP and Defense stat that would even make Foongus jealous.

Gonna make it clear that this is a set analysis. You talk about the pokemon nearly the entire time.

edit: talked on discord, tldr smaller changes not big changes

Slowpoke finds itself to Knock Off

use as it is hard to avoid and loses considerable bulk once its Eviolite is gone.

Maybe rephrase Knock Off as one of the most common moves in the meta, this sentence is kinda confusing to the reader in general.

Foongus and Ferroseed make for good teammates defensively as they can check Grass-type Pokemon and set up hazards.

Can we use something other than Grass types to check Grass types? Maybe a bit of diversity between the two. Pick one of foon/seed, keep that one and replace the other.

Offensively Pawniard and Ponyta are a great pairing as they can check Dark- and Grass-type Pokemon while also benefiting from Slowbro's ability to spread paralysis.

Pawniard doesn't really check other Dark types.
You already talked about grass types, replace it with electric types.
You used Slowpoke instead of Slowbro.

Looks good otherwise!

QC 1/1
