just wanted to post wip real quick while I work on this


[OVERVIEW]

*Sturdy check for most of the tier's fighting-types
*Great bulky Calm Mind sweeper able to beat other CM Psychic-types
*Great pivot because of its impressive physical bulk and Regenerator
*Lacking special bulk makes Slowbro a lackluster answer to a lot of specially offensive Fire-, Water-, and Psychic-type Pokemon
*No immediate offensive presence make Slowbro an exploitable target for some powerful offensive threats, such as Sceptile, Rotom-C, Mismagius, and Meloetta.

[SET]
name: Bulky CM
move 1: Calm Mind
move 2: Scald
move 3: Psyshock
move 4: Slack Off
item: Waterium Z / Colbur Berry
ability: Regenerator
nature: Bold
evs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spd

[SET COMMENTS]
Moves
========

*Calm Mind allows Slowbro to become a win condition
*Scald
*Psyshock is important for beating Fighting-types easier and beating other Psychic-types with Calm Mind
*Slack Off is vital recovery
*Fire Blast can be used to hit Grass-types, such as Ferroseed, Sceptile, and Whimsicott, for more damage on a predicted switch in.

Set Details
========

*Max HP and Defense EV's with a Bold nature maximizes Slowbro's physical bulk and lets it check Fighting-types like Machamp easier.
*Waterium Z gives Slowbro one strong attack to use to pressure opponents without having to set up with Calm Mind as much. Waterium Z also reduces damage received from Knock Off because it can't be removed
*Colbur Berry is used when you already have a Z Move on a team
*Psychium Z can be used if you would rather have your Z Move target some Water-resistant Pokemon instead, such as Lilligant, Jellicent, and Sceptile.

Usage Tips
========

*Set up Calm Minds on Fighting-types
*Don't be afraid to pivot Slowbro into some physical attackers throughout the course of the game if it has the health to. Regenerator, Slack Off, and great physical bulk means Slowbro has a ton of longevity

List some options for the Pokemon user that are plausible but not always recommended due to either being not consistent enough or too outclassed by other Pokemon in the metagame.

Checks and Counters
===================

**Offensive Grass-types**: Sceptile and Rotom-C come in easily on Slowbro and threaten it with their powerful Grass-type STAB moves. Fire Blast Slowbro can limit the amount of times they switch in.

**Toxic**:

**Specially Offensive Super Effective Coverage**: Slowbro is pretty lacking in special bulk
