Galarian Slowking is an excellent defensive pivot thanks to good Special Defense, Regenerator, and a solid defensive typing. Future Sight allows Galarian Slowking to pressure a number of offensive threats like Iron Valiant, Great Tusk, and Zamazenta and do significant damage to defensive foes like Toxapex and Clodsire. Chilly Reception allows Galarian Slowking to serve as the metagame's slowest pivot, able to safely bring in offensive teammates while changing the weather to snow. Galarian Slowking has a number of options for its last move: Thunder Wave allows it to cripple fast offensive threats like Dragapult and Weavile while preventing Kingambit from freely switching into Galarian Slowking, Toxic wears down opposing walls like Ting-Lu and Dondozo as well as Thunder Wave-immune targets like Raging Bolt, and Slack Off offers immediate recovery, allowing Galarian Slowking to stay on the field longer. Tera Water lets Galarian Slowking stand up to to powerful Fire-types like Gouging Fire and Cinderace, while Tera Fairy gives it an immunity to strong Dragon-type attacks from the likes of Walking Wake, Raging Bolt, and Kyurem. Tera Dark is another option that turns Galarian Slowking's Dark- and Ghost-type weaknesses into resistances, making it more resilient against foes like Greninja and Dragapult. 16 Defense EVs allow Galarian Slowking to live a Knock Off from Meowscarada.

Galarian Slowking is an excellent choice for a pivot on balance teams, as frail offensive teammates like Cinderace and Iron Valiant appreciate being brought in safely as well as the pressure applied by Future Sight. Due to its average Defense, Galarian Slowking benefits from physically defensive partners like Archaludon and Skarmory to form a solid defensive core. Galarian Slowking struggles against special walls like Ting-Lu and Skeledirge if not running Toxic, so physically offensive teammates like Weavile and Hisuian Samurott that can take care of them make good partners. Additionally, Galarian Slowking is walled by Steel-types like Corviknight and Heatran, so teammates like Volcarona and Great Tusk that can remove them are necessary. Ground-immune teammates like Gliscor, Landorus-T, and Corviknight are also good partners for Galarian Slowking due to its weakness to common threats like Great Tusk and opposing Gliscor.

Future Sight allows Galarian Slowking to pressure a number of offensive threats like Iron Valiant, Great Tusk, and Zamazenta and do significant damage to defensive opponents like Toxapex and Clodsire.

Galarian Slowking has a number of options for its last move: Thunder Wave allows it to cripple fast offensive threats like Dragapult and Weavile while preventing Kingambit from freely switching into Galarian Slowking, Toxic wears down opposing walls like Ting-Lu and Dondozo as well as Thunder Wave-immune targets like Raging Bolt, and Slack Off offers immediate recovery, allowing Galarian Slowking to stay on the field longer than if it is relying solely on Regenerator. Tera Water lets Galarian Slowking stand up to to powerful Fire-types like Gouging Fire and Cinderace while Tera Fairy gives it an immunity to strong Dragon-type attacks from the likes of Walking Wake, Raging Bolt, and Kyurem. Tera Dark is another option that turns Galarian Slowking's Dark- and Ghost-type weaknesses into resistances, making it more resilient against foes like Greninja and Dragapult. Mention that the 16 Defense EVs are for Meowscarada’s Knock Off; the rest maximizes special bulk.

Excellent work. QC 1/2 once implemented; there really wasn't a whole lot to add here.

EDIT: I did add one more thing about the Defense EVs in here, in case you saw this already.

Dismal Speed allows Galarian Slowking to serve as the metagame's slowest pivot, able to safely bring in offensive teammates safely while clearing the weather. It doesn't clear the weather, though. It sets snow. Reword this to specify that it clears Sun/Rain/Sand.
