Galarian Slowbro is able to maximize its power with Nasty Plot and destroy would-be checks like Kommo-o and Aegislash. The chance to activate either Quick Draw or Quick Claw is 44%, which makes a fortunate Galarian Slowbro difficult to check. Galarian Slowbro can be tailored to what it needs to check. Psyshock is useful for dealing with Keldeo and Chansey, while Sludge Wave lets Galarian Slowbro do more damage to Pokémon like Rotom-W and hit Bulletproof Kommo-o. Fire Blast is essential for hitting Steel-types like Celesteela and Aegislash. Ice Beam hits common Pokemon such as Salamence, Krookodile, and Thundurus, but Grass Knot is an alternative to have a better matchup against bulkier teams,(AC) as it can OHKO Quagsire and Rhyperior. Other combinations of these moves like Sludge Wave / Psyshock / Fire Blast or Weather Ball with rain support are also acceptable, depending on the rest of the team.
Quick Claw Quick Draw Galarian Slowbro is best on hyper offense structures, especially with team support from Pokemon such as Alolan Ninetales, which helps it set up much easier. Galarian Slowbro is also useful on Sticky Web teams, where it can be slightly less reliant on Quick Claw + Quick Draw to outspeed Amoonguss and Aegislash and provide some defensive utility with its resistances and ability to absorb Toxic Spikes. Entry hazard support from Pokemon such as Krookodile can facilitate an easier sweep. Galarian Slowbro is vulnerable to Pokemon like Krookodile and Kommo-o, so other setup sweepers such as Galarian Moltres and Salamence are good partners. Thundurus and Zarude can draw in passive Pokemon such as Chansey and Tangrowth for Galarian Slowbro. In return, Galarian Slowbro can lure Rhyperior and Kommo-o.
