The King of Trick Room: Slowking Discussion

[MaxGoof]

I've noticed that there's not a single thread on Slowking in the discussion index, so I thought I'd start one.

#199 SLOWKING

Pros:

• Massive HP (max 394)
• Great special defense (max 350)
• Learns fantastic support moves such as Trick Room, Nasty Plot, Slack Off, Amnesia, Curse
• STAB Surf and Psychic
• Faster than virtually anything in the game when using Trick Room

Cons:

• Two Nearly Useless Abilities
• Defense is mediocre
• Weakness to electric, grass, bug, ghost and dark

I'm thinking that Slowking definitely has the defenses to take 2 or 3 hits before dying, so I think he'd sweep well with this set...

Slowking (Calm) @Leftovers
Trick Room
Nasty Plot
Surf/Ice Beam
Psychic/Shadowball/Flamethrower

Other ideas?

Well assuming you can survive the counterattack when you Nasty Plot then Trick Room +sp.atk, 252 EV Psychic stands a slim chance at OHKO'ing Gachomp with no HP/Sp.Def EV's. Surf is almost a guarantee.

Calm won't do at all on the Trick Room/Nasty Plot set, it has to be modest.

Takes far too long to setup... Why use a two-turn setup for a non-attack boosted sweeper when you could just spend a turn on Dragon Dance and then sweep with a Gyarados.

Too risky, if you want a good sturdy water Belly Drummer Poliwrath is better seeing it gets Hypnosis and Water Absorb on top.

Sorry mate, but [Pokemon] Discussion threads have rules bound to them. You lack Serebii link, Pokemon movepool, pokemon stats and you need at least one moveset.

However, I have not talked to you in a while! :]
