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.
