OU OU Slowbro

Slowbro @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Scald / Ice Beam
- Slack Off
- Teleport
- Future Sight

Slowbro has established itself as one of the best defensive pivots in the tier; its ability to check common threats such as Melmetal, Garchomp, and Landorus-T while enabling dangerous threats like Urshifu-S, Choice Band Pheromosa, and Choice Specs Magearna with the combination of Future Sight and Teleport gives it a place on many teams. Teleport provides amazing utility in slow pivoting, allowing it to bring in its dangerous teammates more easily. Future Sight allows for highly advantageous situations, as it enables its offensive teammates with a lot more offensive pressure by deterring Pokemon such as Toxapex and Clefable from switching in without risking heavy damage. Ice Beam allows Slowbro to take out Garchomp while also hitting Rillaboom and Zapdos super effectively. Pokemon like Choice Specs Magearna and Cinderace love the support given from Slowbro. Its Special Defense is pretty lacking, so it can be heavily pressured by special attackers such as Latios and Magearna. So, Blissey is an excellent partner for it, as it can cover up Slowbro's susceptibility to special attacks, while Slowbro can cover up its susceptibility to physical attacks.

Slowbro has established itself as one of the best defensive pivots in the tier; its ability to check common threats such as Melmetal, Garchomp and Landorus-T while enabling dangerous threats like Urshifu, Choice Band Pheromosa and Melmetal gives it a place on a vast majority of teams. Slowbro's synergy with Melmetal is probably one of the weaker ones. A Pokemon like Choice Specs Magearna is more generally applicable. Also, I cannot immediately gather what you mean by "enabling dangerous threats" from this sentence. Don't leave it ambiguous and make sure to clarify how it does that. Ice Beam allows it to take out Garchomp and Landorus-T while also hitting Rillaboom and Zapdos super effectively. Landorus-T isn't really an important target because Slowbro adequately checks it with Scald anyway. Teleport provides amazing utility in slow pivoting, allowing it to bring in its dangerous teammates more easily. Future Sight allows for highly advantageous situations as it enables its offensive teammates with a lot more offensive pressure by dettering Pokemon such as Toxapex and Clefable from switching in without risking heavy damage. I'm not really a fan of having these 2 sentences in the middle of the paragraph, disclosing these things at the start (more concisely) is good because it's what makes Slowbro in general and this set in particular so good right now. Slowbro loves to be paired with the aforementioned offensive Pokemon due to its supportive capabilities They were mentioned too far back to use aforementioned now.; its special defense is pretty lacking and can thus more heavily pressured by special attackers such as Latios and Magearna, so Blissey is an excellent partner for it, as Blissey can cover up Slowbro's susceptibility to special attacks while Slowbro can cover up Blissey's susceptibility to physical attacks, making them an excellent pair. I'm not part of the GP team, but please consider cutting this sentence up with periods.

PM me on Discord once this is implemented so that I can stamp it.

Its special defense Special Defense is pretty lacking and can thus more, (AC) so it can be heavily pressured by special attackers such as Latios and Magearna. So, Blissey is an excellent partner for it, as Blissey it can cover up Slowbro's susceptibility to special attacks, (AC) while Slowbro can cover up Blissey's its susceptibility to physical attacks.
