[SET COMMENTS]
Slowbro's has a niche over Toxapex as a defensive pivot for Balance and Bulky Offensive teams that is able to check Excadrill and Rhyperior, as well as it's ability to Teleport. Future sight is a great support move that forces the opponent in making switches while also keeping in mind of it being activated, and discourages for Psychic weak and weakened pokemon, such as Toxapex, Amoonguss, and Clefable from switching into it or teammates that appreciate it like Urshifu-S, Dragapult , and Zeraora. Rocky Helmet is the preferred item to use on Slowbro , that allows for it to constantly chip down on physical attackers such as Hawlucha and both Urshifu forms. Heavy-Duty Boots can also be used allowing for Slowbro to switching in and get Regenerator healing while hazards are on the field.

Slowbro best fits into Balance and Bulky Offensive teams that appreciate the ability in to bring in its teammates in safely with Teleport. Strong wallbreakers such as Urshifu-S, Zeraora , and Dragapult enjoy Slowbro in bringing them in safely after taking a hit. Urshifu-S in particular synergizes well with Slowbro, due to Future Sight limiting possible switchins towards Urshifu-S such as Toxapex, Clefable, and Galarian-Weezing, letting it break through it checks from switching in. Slowbro doesn't do well against strong special attackers like Kyurem, Hex Dragapult , and Hydreigon , so special walls like Blissey, Tyranitar, and Rhyperior can cover Slowbro's mediocre special defense stat. Steel types such as Corviknight and Skarmory help Slowbro's weakness against Rillaboom, as well as greatly improving Slowbro's matchup against Excadrill and Scizor. Clefable and Togekiss pair nicely with Slowbro being able to act as a status absorber for the former and the latter can remove statuses with Heal Bell for Slowbro , as well checking Urshifu-S, while Slowbro can check Excadrill and Rhyperior for them. Mandibuzz forms a great defensive core with Slowbro being able to cover ghost types, such as Gengar and Aegislash, that Slowbro struggles with, while also being able to handle against Urshifu-S making it play mind games on which move to click. Both Corviknight and Mandibuzz can reliably remove hazards for Rocky Helmet Slowbro letting to recover as much as possible with Regenerator. Amoonguss synergizes well with Slowbro forming a regenerator core as well as being able to handle against Zeraora and Rillaboom, while Slowbro handles against Hawlucha and non Toxic Excadrill for it.

drop all mentions of twave and toxic; you're realistically never using either over twave. Helmet first too.

Slowbro functions as a defensive pivot for teams, such as Balance and Bulky Offense, that appreciate Slowbro's ability on bringing in teammates safely with Teleport, as well as Slowbro's physical bulk and great defensive typing. Future sight is a great support move for Slowbros teammates, where the opponent now is forced on playing around it, leading for easier breaking opportunities for Slowbros teammates. this is way too vague; i want you to phrase in a similar manner to "forced to make their switches while keeping it in mind, discouraging Psychic-weaks and weakened Pokemon from switching into it or a teammate" and the list a few examples of Pokemon that it can targets on its own and some teammates that appreciate it. Thunder Wave helps in crippling in offensive threats that can come in on Slowbro such as Dragapult and Offensive Volcarona. Toxic is great utility move as it can put opposing pivots and checks on a timer hindering them from staying in that long. Heavy-Duty Boots is the preferred item, allowing to switch in and get Regenerator healing while hazards are on field. However, Rocky Helmet can be used over Heavy-Duty Boots to chip down physical attackers such as Hawlucha, though taking hazard damage can negates Regenerators healing ability.

Since has realistically become a niche mon, there needs to be an emphasis on why you should use it over Toxapex; expand on teleport and future sight since those are realistically the biggest aspect's of slowbro's niche. There's also no mentions of slowbro's defensive utility, so I want that emphasised; specifically mention its ability to check excadrill / rhyperior / terrakion etc.

Slowbro best fits into Balance and Bulky Offensive teams that appreciate the ability in to bring in its teammates in safely with Teleport. Strong wallbreakers such as Urshifu-S and Hydreigon enjoy Slowbro in bringing them them in safely after taking a hit. Urshifu-S in particular synergizes well with Slowbro , due to Future Sight limiting possible switchins towards Urshifu-S give examples, letting it break through it checks from switching in. Slowbro doesn't do well against strong special attackers like Volcarona see this isn't the best mention because there are situations where you can legit 1v1 it, so i'd rather you mention something like Kyurem instead, Hex Dragapult , and Hydreigon , so special walls like Blissey can cover Slowbro's mediocre special defense stat. Mandibuzz forms a great defensive core with Slowbro being able to cover ghost types and grass types that Slowbro struggles with , while also being able to handle against Urshifu-S making it play mind games on which move to click. Amoonguss and Tangrowth not a fan of tangrowth here since you're realistically not running it alongside bro synergizes well with Slowbro forming a regenerator core and being able to handle gainst Zeraora and Rillaboom , while Slowbro handles against Hawlucha and non Toxic Excadrill for them. Amoonguss works nice with Rocky Helmet Slowbro being able to absorb Toxic Spikes that can negate Regenerator healing. this is irrelevant given how niche tspikes are

I feel like you're mentioning all of the wrong mons here; sure, most of these mons are nice, but they're nowhere near as important as stuff like fat fairies, particularly clefable and togekiss, but also more relevant examples like steels (skarm, ferro, corvi, aegi, etc.), relevant offensive shit (zera, pult, zam, gengar) and a few important defensive partners like volcarona, rhyperior, and tyranitar which could all be menntioned over or alongside shit like tangrowth, hydreigon, blissey, etc.

Should this set include IV reccomendations for 0 Spe to maximize the probability of a slower Teleport?

Should this set include IV reccomendations for 0 Spe to maximize the probability of a slower Teleport?

Sorry, this was an oversight on my end because it totally should have 0 spe IVs, but for future reference if you have any questions regarding a WIP analysis, please ask here instead.

Slowbro functions as a defensive pivot for teams, such as Balance and Bulky Offense, that appreciate Slowbro's ability on bringing in teammates safely with Teleport , as well as Slowbro's physical bulk and great defensive typing , allowing it to check Excadrill and Rhyperior. Slowbro's niche over Toxapex is slow pivot with Teleport providing momentum for its teams being able to bring in teammates in safely , especially bringing in frailer wallbreakers such as Urshifu-S, Zeraora, and Dragapult . Ok this is on me for not being awfully descriptive but I'd prefer it if you could merge these two sentences together; idt there's any reason to have these be separate when you can phrase it like "Slowbro's niche over Toxapex is as a defensive pivot for balanced and bulky offence teams as a check to blah blah blah that can also teleport" + the whole description on teleport is generally unnecessary given that it's common sense. Future sight is a great support move that forces the opponent in making switches while also keeping in mind of it being activated , and discourages for Psychic weak and weakened pokemon, such as Toxapex, Amoonguss , and Clefable from switching into it or teammates that appreciate it like Urshifu-S, Dragapult , and Zeraora. Rocky Helmet is the preferred item to use on Slowbro , that allows for it to constantly chip down on physical attackers such as Hawlucha and Scizor. I'd like a mention of both shifu forms here; generally you're running a helmet to punish rapid's uturn and choiced single's wicked blow + scizor just knocks you anyways Heavy-Duty Boots can also be used allowing for Slowbro to switching in and get Regenerator healing while hazards are on the field.

Slowbro best fits into Balance and Bulky Offensive teams that appreciate the ability in to bring in its teammates in safely with Teleport. Strong wallbreakers such as Urshifu-S, Zeraora , and Dragapult enjoy Slowbro in bringing them in safely after taking a hit. Urshifu-S in particular synergizes well with Slowbro , due to Future Sight limiting possible switchins towards Urshifu-S such as Toxapex , Clefable , and Galarian-Weezing , letting it break through it checks from switching in. Slowbro doesn't do well against strong special attackers like Kyurem, Hex Dragapult , and Hydreigon , so special walls like Blissey, Tyranitar , and Rhyperior can cover Slowbro's mediocre special defense stat.

Clefable and Togekiss pair nicely with Slowbro being able to act as a status absorber for the former and the latter can remove statuses with Heal Bell for Slowbro , as well checking Urshifu-S, while Slowbro can check Excadrill and Rhyperior for them. Mandibuzz forms a great defensive core with Slowbro being able to cover ghost types if you could just give me examples (ideally gengar and aegi) then that would be great that Slowbro struggles with , while also being able to handle against Urshifu-S making it play mind games on which move to click. Both Corviknight and Mandibuzz can reliably remove hazards for Rocky Helmet Slowbro letting to recover as much as possible with Regenerator. Amoonguss synergizes well with Slowbro forming a regenerator core as well as being able to handle against Zeraora and Rillaboom , while Slowbro handles against Hawlucha and non Toxic Excadrill for it.
