Slither Wing's massive Attack stat alongside its powerful STAB moves makes it a strong wallbreaker, pivot, and revenge killer, able to threaten common physical walls like Corviknight, Deoxys-D, and Mandibuzz. First Impression lets Slither Wing pick off faster offensive threats like Chien-Pao, Latios, and Roaring Moon. Flare Blitz threatens Fluffy users like Corviknight, Zapdos, and Great Tusk as well as non-Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, while Earthquake threatens Ceruledge, Pecharunt, and non-Earth Eater Gholdengo. Tinted Lens helps Slither Wing revenge kill offensive threats like Dragonite, Zapdos, and Volcarona and boosts the power of U-turn against foes like Great Tusk, while Sword of Ruin lets Slither Wing OHKO Deoxys-D after entry hazard chip damage with U-turn, OHKO Fluffy Corviknight with Flare Blitz, OHKO Gholdengo with Earthquake, and 2HKO Defensive Great Tusk with Close Combat. While more niche, Scrappy lets it OHKO Gholdengo with Close Combat while still 2HKOing Intimidate Corviknight. Fast cleaners like Chien-Pao, Meowscarada, and Iron Boulder appreciate Slither Wing's ability to pressure their walls like Corviknight and Gholdengo, letting them sweep late-game once those walls have been chipped down or removed. Slither Wing's middling speed and only decent bulk leaves it vulnerable to offensive threats that do not fear First Impression like Ceruledge, Dragonite, and Azelf, making checks to them like Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Heatran, respectively, valuable teammates. Slither Wing is also prone to getting worn down by entry hazards, so hazard removers like Mandibuzz and the aforementioned Great Tusk and Corviknight are greatly appreciated.

Fast cleaners like Chien-Pao and Iron Boulder Barraskewda appreciate Slither Wing's ability to pressure their walls like Corviknight and Gholdengo Quaquaval I personally wouldn't call Iron Boulder a cleaner, so I'm just changing the examples, leave it as is if you disagree with it, letting them sweep late-game once those walls have been chipped down or removed. Slither Wing's middling speed and only decent bulk leaves it vulnerable to offensive threats that do not fear First Impression like Ceruledge, Dragonite, and Azelf, making checks to them like Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Heatran, respectively, valuable teammates. Slither Wing is also prone to getting worn down by entry hazards due to its tendency to spam U-turn, so hazard removers like Mandibuzz and the aforementioned Great Tusk and Corviknight are greatly appreciated.

Ability: Sword of Ruin / Tinted Lens / Scrappy your call, but i'd make tinted the primary ability. first impression is a huge part of what separates slither from something like tusk, hands or gappy, and tinted makes first impression a better revenge killer vs adamant dnite, offensive zap, hizo, etc.

First Impression lets Slither Wing pick off faster offensive threats like Chien-Pao, Latios, and Roaring Moon. Flare Blitz threatens Fluffy users like Corviknight, Zapdos, and Great Tusk as well as non-Well-Baked Body Gholdengo, while Earthquake threatens Ceruledge if gouging stays, this should be edited post-upload to say gouging instead, Pecharunt, and non-Earth Eater Gholdengo. Sword of Ruin lets Slither Wing OHKO Deoxys-D after entry hazard chip with U-turn, Fluffy Corviknight with Flare Blitz, Gholdengo with Earthquake, and 2HKO Defensive Great Tusk with Close Combat, while Tinted Lens helps Slither Wing revenge kill offensive threats like Dragonite, Zapdos, and Volcarona and boosts the power of U-turn against foes like Great Tusk. swap as needed, if you implement the order change While more niche, Scrappy lets it OHKO Gholdengo with Close Combat while still 2HKOing Intimidate Corviknight you could mention that it bypasses corvs intim entirely, your call. Fast cleaners like Chien-Pao, Meowscarada and Iron Boulder appreciate Slither Wing's ability to pressure their walls like Corviknight and Gholdengo, letting them sweep late-game once those walls have been chipped down or removed. Slither Wing's middling speed and only decent bulk leaves it vulnerable to offensive threats that do not fear First Impression like Ceruledge, Dragonite, and Azelf, making checks to them like Great Tusk, Corviknight, and Heatran, respectively, valuable teammates. Slither Wing is also prone to getting worn down by entry hazards due to its tendency to spam U-turn this feels like fluff, it's an offensive pivot ofc it spams u-turn, but your call to delete it, so hazard removers like Mandibuzz and the aforementioned Great Tusk and Corviknight are greatly appreciated.
