[OVERVIEW]
With excellent defensive stats alongside a solid Water and Psychic typing, Slowbro is a great choice for taking on threats such as Mega Lopunny, Mega Metagross, and Mega Medicham. With recovery from Slack Off and the ability Regenerator, Slowbro can absorb a lot of damage and still sustain for a long time, allowing it to funcation as an all-around defensive pivot. Its very wide supportive movepool lets it take on various foes comfortably. The defensive boost Slowbro gets after Mega Evolving, combined with the ability Shell Armor and its access to boosting moves like Calm Mind, make it a very viable bulky sweeper.
Despite all this, Slowbro's typing renders it weak to common Knock Off and Pursuit users like Weavile, Bisharp, and Tyranitar. Its typing also makes it vulnerable to both U-turn and Volt Switch, making it very easy to gain momentum on. Slowbro's mediocre Special Defense also makes it vulnerable to special attackers such as Mega Manectric, Serperior, and Thundurus. Lastly, Slowbro fears status such as Toxic or burn, moves that can put it on a timer, like Toxic, and moves like Taunt that can stop it from recovering health or inflicting its own status.

Moves
=========
Scald is a reliable STAB move with a chance to cripple a large range of Pokemon such as Mega Metagross, Excadrill, Bisharp, and Tyranitar. Slack Off allows Slowbro to stay healthy and, when combined with Regenerator, makes it increasingly hard to wear down. Ice Beam reliably hits Gliscor as well as Dragon- and Grass-types such as Dragonite, Serperior, and Garchomp. On the other hand, Psychic is a strong STAB move that enables Slowbro to deal with Volcanion and Keldeo better, especially the Substitute variants. Thunder Wave allows Slowbro to cripple Pokemon that can otherwise switch comfortably on it such as Mega Charizard Y, Clefable, and Serperior. Toxic instead of Thunder Wave helps with foes that switch into Slowbro and are immune to Thunder Wave, such as Rotom-W, Thundurus, and Zapdos while also inflicting status on ground types like Gastrodon and Seismitoad. Finally, Future Sight and Flamethrower are alternative options that give Slowbro more versatility, such as providing wallbreaking support and hitting Ferrothorn, respectively.
Set Details
========
The given EV spread allows Slowbro to avoid the 2HKO from Choice Specs Keldeo's Hydro Pump after Stealth Rock and Mega Charizard Y's Solar Beam from full. The rest is thrown into physical bulk to deal with Pokemon like Mega Medicham, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Metagross. Leftovers and Regenerator enhance Slowbro's longevity. Alternatively, Rocky Helmet is also a solid option to chip down foes like Excadrill, Mega Metagross, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Medicham.
Usage Tips
========
Use this set as a defensive pivot. Slowbro checks setup Pokemon like Dragonite, Mega Charizard-X and Gliscor. It supports its teammates with status inflicting moves such as Scald, Toxic, and Thunder Wave. Rocky Helmet can be used to wear down physical attackers and put them in the range of Slowbro's teammates. Make sure to scout for status moves from common status users like Clefable, Heatran, and Amoonguss to ensure Slowbro's survivability. Be mindful of Pursuit trappers, especially Choice Band Tyranitar and Weavile as they threaten to beat Slowbro quickly and leave your team vulnerable to physical attackers.
Team Options
========
Slowbro fits well on bulkier teams like balance, bulky offense, and stall. It is able to act as the team's physical wall and is a countermeasure to strong Fighting-types, such as Mega-Medicham, Mega Lopunny and Keldeo. Pokemon that can assist Slowbro in dealing with Electric-types like Rotom-W, Grass-types like Serperior, and Dark-types like Tyranitar are appreciated. Magic Guard Clefable is a great partner because its mixed bulk and Fairy typing allow it to handle threats like Mega Gyarados, Latios, and Rotom-W. It also can absorb the status moves that Slowbro does not want to take. Mega Venusaur and Amoonguss can face off against Grass- and Electric-types Slowbro tends to struggles with, like Serperior and Rotom-WOther partners include special sponges like Tornadus-T and Gliscor. Tornadus-T forms a nice Regenerator core with Slowbro, while Gliscor is able to absorb Electric-type moves and status moves once toxic orb is activated. Excadrill can check certain Electric-types like Rotom-W as well as Fairy-types like Clefable and Mega Altaria. It also can remove entry hazards with Rapid Spin, which Slowbro appreciates.
[SET]

move 1: Scald
move 2: Slack Off

move 4: Calm Mind
item: Leftovers / Slowbronite
ability: Regenerator
nature: Bold
evs: 248 HP / 216 Def / 44 SpD
[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
=========
Scald is a reliable STAB move that can spread burns, crippling physical attackers like Garchomp, Kyurem-B, and Bisharp. Psyshock is another reliable STAB that hits Rotom-W, Keldeo, and Volcanion. It is especially useful when facing other Calm Mind users such as Clefable, allowing it to win Calm Mind wars. Calm Mind helps further to let Slowbro set up and deal with special attackers like Mega Diancie, Zapdos, and Keldeo. Slack Off allows Slowbro to sustain, allowing it to absorb attacks and wall a variety of Pokemon including Mega-Medicham and Mega Lopunny.
Set Details
========
This set allows Slowbro to be as bulky as possible. 44 SpD allows Slowbro to avoid a 2HKO from Thundurus's Thunderbolt after 2 Calm Minds and without Leftovers. It also avoids a 2HKO from Mega Alakazam's Shadow Ball after 1 Calm Mind, and minimizes Volt Switch damage from Thundurus, Zapdos, and Rotom-Wash. The remaining physical bulk is enough to deal with Pokemon like Mega Medicham, Mega Lopunny, and Mega Metagross. Leftovers is the item of choice allowing Slowbro to set up more comfortably. However, Slowbronite can be used instead to overpower Dark-type Pokemon that rely on Knock Off for damage, such as Weavile, Crawdaunt, and Bisharp, especially after Mega Evolving. Regenerator helps to increase the longevity even further.
Usage Tips
========
While still being able to function as a pivot and a defensive wall, this Slowbro set allows it to check Clefable aswell, utilizing the combination of Calm Mind and Psyshock. Given the opportunity Slowbro can setup with Calm Mind and become a sweeper. Calm Mind can also be used to resist Pokemon like Volcanion or Tornadus-T better, while increasing its SpA, allowing it to deliver stronger hits on possible switch-ins like Zapdos or Rotom-W. When used as Mega Slowbro make sure that there are no more Toxic users or Pokemon whos STAB move threaten it in an existential way and become a defensive Behemoth with the increased Def from the mega evolution and the SpD raise from Calm Mind.
Team Options
========
Slowbro fits on every team but Hyper Offense. Especially when used as Mega, it can function as both a late game sweeper and a physical wall. As a support it appreciates Pokemon that switch into Dark-types like Tyranitar, Weavile, and Bisharp. Therefore Keldeo, Mega Scizor, and Clefable are good partners. Magic Guard Clefable is a good partner to, because it can absorb status moves, threatens Mega Gyarados and is switch against Zapdos and Rotom-W. Excadrill can remove entry hazards which would limit Slowbro’s option to pivot and heal with Regenerator, plus setting up Stealth Rock himself, which chip down Pokemon like Landorus-T, Weavile and Zapdos. Heal Bell users like Chansey and Clefable can help to get rid of unwanted status conditions and therefore are good partners for Slowbro.
[SET]
name: Offensive Tank Bro
move 1: Slack Off
move 2: Scald
move 3: Flamethrower
move 4: Future Sight / Psychic
item: Slowbronite
ability: Regenerator
nature: Bold
evs: 252 HP / 136 Def / 120 SpA
[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
=========
Scald is a spammable STAB move because of its chance to burn foes, whittling down and crippling switch-ins. Slack Off provides recovery to keep Mega Slowbro healthy. Flamethrower hits Grass-types, such as Ferrothorn, Serperior, and Amoonguss. Future Sight allows Mega Slowbro to overload damage on a later turn and be a threatening pivot too. Psychic is the more consistent move, that gives it a better match up against Pokemon such as Keldeo, Rotom-Wash, and Volcanion. Ice Beam and Grass Knot are alternative options that can provide more coverage over a secondary STAB. Ice Beam provides more immediate damage against Dragonite, while Grass Knot provides more immediate damage against Mega Gyarados, Gastrodon and opposing Slowbros.
Set Details
========
136 EVs into in Defense with a Bold nature give Slowbro enough bulk to tank attacks from Mega Medicham, Mega Lopunny, and Bisharp, as well as Weavile after Mega Evolving. The Special Attack investment allows Slowbro to 2HKO Serperior with Flamethrower and Assault Vest Bisharp, latter after Mega Evolving. It also makes it strong enough to 2HKO Gliscor with Scald after Poison Heal recovery.
Usage Tips
========
Offensive tank Mega Slowbro can consider Mega Evolving right away to take advantage of the jump in Special Attack and, to a lesser extent, the jump in physical bulk. This depends whether it is more advantageous to keep Regenerator and have Slowbro being able to pivot. Mega Slowbro typically should be using Scald to land chip damage and potential burns on its foes, but it is also recommended to try to predict switch-ins and hit them with the appropriate coverage moves. For example, it might be better to hit Serperior and Ferrothorn with Flamethrower, or use Future Sight for an delayed impact, instead of fishing for a burn on the switch.
Team Options
========
Offensive Tank Mega Slowbro fits best on balance and bulky offense builds. Pokemon that are able to deal with Electric- and Grass-types such as Rotom-W, Thundurus, and Serperior are greatly appreciated. Teammates like specially defensive Heatran and Clefable work just fine. Good checks to Dark-types like Mega Gyarados, Weavile, and Tyranitar, such as Keldeo, are very helpful as well. Pokemon that can remove entry hazards like Excadrill and Zapdos help Mega Slowbro to stay healthy. Additionally, both Zapdos and Excadrill help with the Electric-type issue, with Excadrill also being able to deal with Fairy-types like Mega Altaria and Clefable.
[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Eject Button can be used on Slowbro for a one-use momentum grabbing tool. Protect can be used on sets with Toxic and Leftovers, which helps Slowbro scout for Pursuit and stall a turn of Toxic while getting an extra turn of recovery. A double dance set on Mega Slowbro with Iron Defense and Calm Mind is viable, especially with a cleric teammate or Rest instead of Slack Off.
Checks and Counters
===================
Electric-types: Electric-types like Thundurus, Rotom-W, and Zapdos, can deal a large amount of damage to Slowbro and, when using Volt Switch, pivot into other threats. However, given the right situation, Calm Mind Slowbro varients can be able to increase their SpD to a point where they are not threatened anymore.
Dark-types: Tyranitar, Weavile, Bisharp, Crawdaunt, Mega Gyarados, and Hydreigon pose a threat to Slowbro. Their Dark-type STAB moves can OHKO Slowbro. The ones running Pursuit also posses the ability to trap it, potentially removing it from the game or dealing a huge amount of damage.
Grass-types: Pokemon like Serperior, Mega Venusaur, and Amoongus are able to switch into most of Slowbro's moves while dealing a lot of damage back. The majority of them, however, do not appreciate being hit by Ice Beam, Flamethrower, burned by Scald, or paralyzed by Thunder Wave. Pokemon like Mega Venusaur and Amoongus that are Poison-types aswell are threatend by Psychic and Future Sight too.
Dragon-types: If Slowbro lacks Ice Beam, Dragon-types like Latios, Latias, and Hydreigon can easily switch in and shrug off any damage, especially if they carry Roost. They can also proceed to threaten Slowbro with an OHKO or 2HKO. Kyurem and Kyurem-B deserve a special mention since it they take neutral from Ice Beam and can be unbothered by burn with special sets.
Bug-types: Such as Mega Heracross, Volcarona, and Mega Scizor, can deal a lot of damage to or outright KO Slowbro. Mega Scizor in particular can deal great damage with U-Turn while providing momentum and avoiding status from Scald or Thunder Wave.
Status: Poison or Burns can limit Slowbro's potential to recover significantly and therefore put it on a timer.
