I am basically talking about Slaking.

After i attack should i switch him out? I mean he has amazing base stats, he cna take a physical hit and survive at least 2 or 3 of them with his great HP.

Should i keep him in for the hit? Or switch to a wall/ counter?
 
From using Slaking i know it good idea most of the time to switch out,also being that i have use a hyper beam quite a bit in R/S,I understand what happens when you keep in Slaking.

What is setting up on Slaking? It has to something faster than 299 speed poke and ohko slaking after one dragon dance,sword dance,calm mind,tail glow up or survive hit from slaking and ohko it.Yes i am assuming that slaking at full strength or close to full strength,The List is not huge list.

I know somebody going to mention pokemon with sub and pokes with protect,how many pokes in d/p have those moves as their standard set and why you would leave slaking in.
 
Slaking used Return! Pokemon fainted! Trainer sent out Gengar/Skarmory/Tyranitar/Rhyperior!
Slaking used Earthquake! Pokemon fainted! Trainer sent out Gengar/Salamence/Gyarados/Cresselia/Azelf!

Most of the time, this is what will happen. Then you switch out.

You don't have to OHKO to set up. Espy/CeleJump both carry Substitute, which lols hard at Slaking.

How did Slaking manage to hit Skarmory with Earthquake?

EDIT: Oh, wait... I just realised that the two lines are separate. You meant that after Slaking used Return, Trainer sends out Skarmory to wall Slaking.

Sorry, my bad.
 
Lol, two different examples, not consecutively. The point is Slaking is CBed and most teams have something that are immune to at least one of its moves, being Earthqake, Return, Focus Punch, Thunderpunch, Shadow Claw.
 
And exactly how did Slaking manage to hit Gengar with Earthquake? There's positively no way a Gengar can get hit by EQ. Gengar has Levitate, which makes it float over Earthquakes. The only possible way that Gengar can be hit with EQ is if Gravity is in effect or someone Tricked an Iron Ball to it.

scrappy kangaskhan D:
 
For the most part,that i am agreeing with is being said but comes across as you have switch out slaking every situation.I remember running a return/hyper beam/eq/shadow ball slaking in r/s.I used hyper beam like explosion expecting slaking to be fainted after its use.They were countless situations were i was able to use slaking again after hyper beam.

Also Slaking is category of poke that build teams around (Rampados, Shedinja, Cradily,Ninjask) you need certain things on team make those pokemon effective,slaking for example a good wish passer,heal bell or aromatherapy poke,rapid spinner,good hazer or psuedo hazer.
 
What about Life Orb as an option on Slaking? Sure, your attacks do 20% less than the CB version, but after Earthquake faints pokemon and Salamence/Cresselia/Gyarados/Azelf comes in, you Return for massive damage and element of surprise.
 
They're going to know you have a Life Orb once you KO something, they'll see the Life Orb recoil go off :/ Also, after a Nasty Plot, Azelf does 92-10% to a min/min Slaking with Psychic, and 95-112% with HP Fighting - and that's with Leftovers, it might very well have Life Orb.
