Galarian Slowking is a unique special wall, reliably using Future Sight against passive Pokemon like Toxapex and Clefable while also checking Pokemon like Walking Wake, Iron Valiant, and Iron Moth. It can also take super effective hits from Dragapult and Gholdengo. Flamethrower hits Steel-types like Kingambit, Gholdengo, and Ferrothorn, while Scald allows Galarian Slowking to spread poison and burn alike, crippling common switch-ins like Toxapex, Dragapult, and Gastrodon. Scald also punishes Ground-types like Landorus-T and Great Tusk. Ice Beam catches Ground-types and Dragonite, but it isn't as reliable as Scald, as it leaves Galarian Slowking unable to hit Heatran. Focus Blast instantly KOes Kingambit on the switch and hits Heatran harder, but it is very unreliable. The given EV spread prevents a 2HKO from Choice Specs Protosynthesis Walking Wake's Draco Meteor. Tera Steel helps Galarian Slowking check Fairy-types like Tapu Lele and Hatterene, while Tera Water improves its Walking Wake and rain matchups. Both also make Galarian Slowking neutral to Pursuit from the likes of Kingambit and Weavile. Future Sight support is highly appreciated by Fighting-types like Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant, as it pressures their checks in Toxapex, Skeledirge, and Clodsire. They can pressure Pursuit Kingambit, a major roadblock to Galarian Slowking. Knock Off absorbers like offensive Tornadus-T, Clefable, and Gliscor also work well with Galarian Slowking. The former can form a strong Regenerator core pivoting and gaining information through the game. Entry hazard setters like Ferrothorn and Ting-Lu appreciate Galarian Slowking's ability to cripple common Defoggers like Tornadus-T and Zapdos with Sludge Bomb and Scald. In return, Galarian Slowking likes entry hazards wearing down its checks, namely Kingambit, Heatran, and Gholdengo.

Galarian Slowking's access to Regenerator, good defensive stats, wide movepool, and unique typing allows it to be a unique special wall, being able to provide multiples Future Sights through the game against passive Pokemon like Toxapex and Clefable while also checking Pokemon like Clefable Walking Wake, Iron Valiant, and Iron Moth. It can also take super effective hits from Dragapult and Gholdengo. Flamethrower helps hitting hit Steel-types like Kingambit, Gholdengo, and Ferrothorn, while Scald, in conjonction conjunction with Sludge Bomb, allows Galarian Slowking to spreads multiples status conditions, crippling common switch in switch-ins like Toxapex, Dragapult, and Gastrodon. Scald also punishes Ground-type like Landorus-T and Great Tusk with additional heavy damage. Ice Beam catches the said Ground-types and Dragonite, but isn't as reliable as Scald is, and Galarian Slowking will become unable to hit Heatran. Focus Blast helps catching Kingambit on the switch, but it is overall very unreliable. The given EV spread allows Galarian Glowking to always live from full 2 Draco Meteor from Walking Wake under the sun with a SpA Protosynthesis. Tera Steel helps Galarian Slowking checking Tapu Lele while still retaining its ability to come on Clefable, while Water improves its Walking Wake and Rain match up. Future Sight support is highly appreciated by Fighting-types like Urshifu-R, Zamazenta, and Iron Valiant, as it helps them in pressuring their checks in Toxapex and Clodsire. They also both can pressure Kingambit, who's a major roadblock to Galarian Slowking due to threatening to Pursuit trap it. Knock Off absorber like offensive Tornadus-T, Clefable, and Corviknight Gliscor more relevant example also works well with it. The former can also form a strong Regecore with Galarian Slowking why is this important?. Entry Hazards setup setters like Ferrothorn and Ting Lu appreciates Galarian Slowking's ability to cripple common defogger like Tornadus-T and Zapdos with its combination of Sludge Bomb and Scald. In return, Galarian Slowking likes hazard wearing down its checks, namely Kingambit, Heatran, and Gholdengo.

The given EV spread allows Galarian Glowking to always live from full 2 consecutive Choice SpecsDraco Meteors from Walking Wake under the sun with a SpA Protosynthesis. Tera Steel helps Galarian Slowking check Tapu Lele maybe here generalise a bit to “still lets it check fairys, while not being able to be pursuited + better defensive type while still retaining its ability to come on Clefable idk if i like the clef mention here specifically, its not really a common mon lol, maybe just mention that its a good defensive type, while Water improves its Walking Wake and Rain match up mention that its not as pressured by suit anymore.

The former can also form a strong Regenerator core with Galarian Slowking, abusing Regenerator to pivot and scout for moves through the game.
