Slowpoke @ Eviolite
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 5
EVs: 116 HP / 76 Def / 116 SpA / 196 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Slack Off
- Teleport
- Future Sight
- Scald / Fire Blast

Slowpoke finds its role in the Little Cup metagame as a great defensive pivot to check Pokemon like Onix, Vulpix, and Abra while also offering Future Sight support. Thanks to reliable recovery from Regenerator and Slack Off, Slowpoke is able to have incredible longevity for maintaining its role as a defensive pivot. Future Sight pairs well with Teleport to apply offensive pressure and force in Dark- and Steel-types that its teammates can then take advantage of. Scald hits Fire-, Rock-, and Ground-types like Ponyta and Onix super effectively and has a notable chance to burn and cripple switch-ins, notably Pawniard and Vullaby. Fire Blast can be an alternative to Scald for hitting Steel- and Grass-types like Pawniard, Ferroseed, and Grookey super effectively. Fighting-types like Mienfoo and Timburr pair well with Slowpoke to handle the Dark- and Steel-types forced in by Future Sight, provide Knock Off support, and absorb Knock Off as well while appreciating the Teleport support for themselves.

Tag me again after you have implemented this, so I can stamp it. Right now, the spotlight is focusing a bit too much on its moves and sounds a lot like a mini analysis. This check is mostly to condense down some info to make it more concise.

Slowpoke finds its role in the Little Cup metagame as a great defensive pivot to check Pokemon like Timburr and Onix with the ability to offer Future Sight support. (Slowpoke is not the greatest Fighting check; instead, mention Pokemon like Vulpix and Abra that it is a great check to) Slowpoke's valuable ability in Regenerator allows it to have incredible longetivity throughout a battle. Slack Off provides Slowpoke with a source of recovery to remain healthy when forced to stay in. Teleport in combination with Regenerator allows Slowpoke to consistently come in to bring a more offensive teammate that would otherwise not appreciate switching into an attack. (You don't really need two sentences to explain Slack Off and Regenerator. Saying something along the lines of "Thanks to reliable recovery from Regenerator and Slack Off,..." and connecting it to how those qualities make it a decent defensive pivot should be alright.) Future Sight pairs well with Teleport to apply offensive pressure and prevent defensive Pokemon like Foongus, Mareanie, and Mienfoo from switching into teammates. (Its the complete opposite. FS forces those guys out and invites in Dark- and Steel-types which can be taken advantage of by its teammates.) Scald acts as STAB to hit Fire-, Rock-, and Ground- Pokemon like Ponyta and Onix supereffectively and has a notable chance to burn and cripple physical attackers switch-ins (add some examples; notably, Pawniard and Vullaby). Fire Blast can be an alternative to Scald for hitting Steel- type Pokemon like Pawniard and Ferroseed supereffectively. (Add Grookey here too)
- Add a sentence on potential partners. Fighting-types like Mienfoo and Timburr can handle the Dark- and Steel-types forced in by Future Sight, can weaken down foes with Knock Off, and appreciate Teleport support.
 
For the last sentence, mention that the Fighting-types can also absorb Knock Off for Slowpoke.
Should be good afterwards. Good work, 1/1!
