Set Description
=============
Giga Impact is Slaking's strongest move and should be used against Volcarona, Arcanine, and Conkeldurr. Earthquake should be used against Chandelure and Heatran without Air Balloon. Low Kick beats Tyranitar, Snorlax, and Air Balloon Heatran. Fire Punch is for Genesect and Ferrothorn. Ice Punch is for Landorus-T and Dragon Gem or Choice item Garchomp.

EVs
=============
Slaking should use maximum Speed EVs and a Jolly nature to Speed tie fast Volcarona.

Choice Band Slaking should always use the move with the highest possible accuracy that will OHKO a foe. Due to Truant, Choice Band Slaking cannot outplay Pokemon with Endure, Protect, or a fast Substitute.

Set Description
=============
Giga Impact is Slaking's strongest move and should be used against Volcarona, Arcanine, and Conkeldurr. Earthquake should be used against Chandelure and Heatran without Air Balloon. Encore gets past Endure users, while Endure can be used against Choice item Snorlax and Porygon-Z.

EVs
=============
Slaking should use maximum Speed EVs and a Jolly nature to Speed tie fast Volcarona.

Usage Tips
=============
Normal Gem Slaking's Encore and Endure make it less one-dimensional, but it relies on correctly guessing foe sets to use to its full extent. If Slaking can OHKO a foe with either Earthquake or Giga Impact, it should use that move. If its foe will use a move with a recharge turn, Slaking should use Endure to attempt to PP stall foes that are locked into such moves due to using Choice items. Against Pokemon that are expected to use Endure or a faster Substitute, Slaking should use Encore to lock them into their status move.

Set Description
=============
Giga Impact is Slaking's strongest STAB move and should be used against Volcarona, Arcanine, and Conkeldurr. Earthquake should be used against Chandelure and Heatran without Air Balloon. Hammer Arm should be used against Tyranitar, Ferrothorn, and Air Balloon Heatran. Ice Punch is for Landorus-T, while Counter can be used against Metagross. I asked about Low Kick / Fire Punch in DMs

EVs
=============
Slaking should use maximum Attack EVs to have maximum damage output and maximum Speed EVs to speed tie added space fast Volcarona. The remaining EVs are in Special Defense. is there a reason for this? if not, remove

Usage Tips
=============
Choice Band Snorlax oops should always use the move with the highest possible accuracy that can OHKO a foe.

Due to Truant, Choice Band Snorlax oops cannot outplay Pokemon with Endure, Protect, or a fast Substitute, which forces Choice Band Slaking to attempt to KO any foe before the foe can KO in return.

Encore can be used against foes that use Endure to lock them into Endure, while Endure can be used against Choice Item Snorlax and Porygon-Z. why specifically eq? surely other coverage moves / counter are okay too

EVs
=============
Slaking should use maximum Attack EVs to have maximum damage output and maximum Speed EVs to speedtie fast Volcarona. The remaining EVs are in Special Defense. same as above, don't explain unless there's a very important reason to do something

Usage Tips
=============
Normal Gem Slaking's access to Encore and Endure removes some of the one-dimensional aspects of Slaking, but is reliant on correct setguessing to use to its full extent. If Slaking can OHKO an opponent with either Earthquake or Giga Impact, it should use those moves. If against a Pokemon that will use a move with a recharge turn pz / crustle!!, Slaking should use Endure. Against foes that are expected to use Endure or a faster Substitute, Slaking should use Encore to lock a foe them into its status move.

If against a Pokemon that its foe will use a move with a recharge turn, Slaking should use Endure. (im a bit confused here. at first glance it'd seem like truant stops you from taking advantage of the recharge turn, removing the reward to using endure. maybe clarify things a bit for new players that would end up with the same question.) Against foes Pokemon that are expected to use Endure or a faster Substitute, Slaking should use Encore to lock them into its their status move.
