Character Introduction
Slowking (Galarian) is a Poison & Psychic Pokémon which evolves from Slowpoke. It is vulnerable to Ground, Ghost and Dark moves. Slowking's strongest moveset is Confusion & Future Sight and it has a Max CP of 2,717.
Slowking dedicates itself to solving global mysteries daily but loses all acquired knowledge if its Shellder is detached.
PVP Mode Explanatory Notes
PvP Moveset Explanation
Confusion sports more than double the damage output of Hex thanks to STAB, but the latter offers faster energy gains. Acid is a poor move, even with STAB.
Surf is mandatory due to being Galarian Slowking's only low cost Charged Attack, and is a great move in general. Shadow Ball costs a moderately high amount of energy, but it has a largely unresisted coverage. Future Sight and Sludge Wave demand the same high energy cost and threaten a lot of STAB damage if unshielded; either can be viable depending on the preferred typing coverage.
PvP Rating Explanation
Slowpoke Community Day provided Galarian Slowking with a much-needed low cost move in Surf, patching its biggest weakness of having only expensive Charged Attacks to work with. Despite this, Galarian Slowking is still only decent at best, thriving more in restricted formats where it can make better use of its rather unique typing and Shadow Ball coverage. It lacks Galarian Slowbro's Poison Jab, making it unreliable making full use of its Poison subtyping.
Resistances to Grass, Fairy, and Fighting is largely what gives Galarian Slowking some breathing room in Ultra League. Access to Hex and Shadow Ball is great for covering prominent Ghost- and Psychic-type Pokemon such as Giratina and Cresselia. However, with only a rather average stat product, as well as Jellicent existing, Galarian Slowking unfortunately doesn't find much play.
Behold, the glorious king of... slowness. So slow that it competes with Slaking in terms of who can faint the... slowest....
