With access to Bulk Up and a STAB healing move in Leech Life, Slither Wing serves as a strong set-up sweeper in the UU. Its typing and bulk grant it set-up opportunities against many foes like Zarude, Lokix and Ogerpon. Earthquake lets it hit common bug resists hard such as Cobalion and Heatran. Flame Charge grants the ability to boost speed like being coverage for the mons like Skarmory and Scizor. Tera Fire further boosts Flame Charge while granting a burn immunity and letting you avoid being KO’d by Tornadus-T. A jolly nature is also an option to let you get the jump on mons like Lokix.

Bulk Up Slither Wing fits primarily on Hyper Offense Teams for its ability to set-up and snowball out of control. Hazard leads such as Deoxys-S and Mew provide support by chipping checks into range of its Attacks. Lokix and Zarude appreciate Slither Wing’s ability to wear down their own checks like Cobalion and Heatran. Iron Jugulis is an option to take on faster Pokemon like Deoxys-Speed. Other Sweepers such as Gyarados, Revavroom and Thundurus-T form can further help Slither Wing to overload defensive Pokemon like Skarmory and Toxapex while threatening to sweep as well.

With access to Bulk Up and a STAB healing move in Leech Life, Slither Wing serves as a sturdy strong set-up sweeper in the tier UU, with access to Bulk Up and a STAB healing move in Leech Life making it difficult to remove. Reworded to better explain why BU + Leech work well together. Its typing and bulk grant it set-up opportunities against many foes like Zarude, Lokix, and Ogerpon. Earthquake lets it hit common bug resists hard such as Cobalion and Heatran. (remove extra space)Flame Charge grants the ability to boost speed (What does this help creep?) like while being coverage for Pokemon the mons like Skarmory and Scizor. Tera Fire further boosts Flame Charge while granting a burn immunity, notably allowing it to beat Skeledirge, and letting you avoid being KO’d by Tornadus-T. A jolly nature is also an option to let you get the jump on mons like Lokix.

I do not see much incentive for Jolly. Lokix will likely click FI if it ever comes in on Slither. The only thing Jolly gets the jump on is +1 Drill, which you shrug off anyway pre-tera.

Bulk Up Slither Wing fits primarily on Hyper Offense Teams for its ability to set-up and snowball out of control. Hazard leads such as Deoxys-S and Mew provide support by chipping checks into range of its Attacks. Lokix and Zarude appreciate Slither Wing’s ability to wear down their own checks like Cobalion and Heatran. Do they do anything in return for Slither? Iron Jugulis is an option to take on faster Pokemon like Deoxys-Speed. Other Sweepers such as Gyarados, Revavroom and Thundurus-T form can further help Slither Wing to overload defensive Pokemon like Skarmory and Toxapex while threatening to sweep as well.

I would throw in a mention of Weavile for its ability to threaten Tornadus-T, Salamence, and Choice Scarf Zapdos-G. All offensive Flying-types that are faster than +1 Slither or resist its STAB + coverage.
