PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Confusion or Water Gun + Surf and Fire Blast

Confusion and Water Gun sport identical energy generation, though the former offers higher damage output. 

Surf is Slowking's only cheap Charged Attack. Fire Blast is extremely expensive, but its coverage sets it apart from Slowbro. Psychic is a hard hitting STAB move that costs the second least amount of energy, but makes Slowking identical to Slowbro. Blizzard provides great counter coverage, but does not separate it from Slowbro, who gets Ice Beam.

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 2 / 5

Despite its regal attire, Slowking unfortunately runs into a problem where it is TOO similar to Slowbro, sporting identical stats and just about the same attacks. Slowbro's access to Ice Beam gives it a reasonably accessible source of coverage, but Slowking's secondary Charged Attacks are too expensive for reliable use.  It can find play in metagames where Slowbro is banned, or as a "second Slowbro" in an ABB style team. However, Slowking on its own is generally outclassed solely due to Slowbro's access to Ice Beam. With that said, Slowking isn't a bad Pokemon in a vacuum due to its relatively good bulk and consistent damage, though it suffers from numerous common weaknesses.

Ultra League: 2 / 5

See: Great League. Slowking's Ultra League issues are the exact same.

Master League: 0 / 5

Slowking too slow for Master League. Literally.
