Slowbro @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 228 Def / 28 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Ice Beam / Future Sight
- Body Press
- Teleport
- Slack Off
While Slowbro typically loses to Dark-types like Ash-Greninja and Weavile, with Colbur Berry + Body Press, Slowbro aims to flip the matchup on its head. With Colbur Berry, Slowbro can survive Choice Band Weavile's Knock Off and Choice Specs Ash-Greninja's Dark Pulse, hammering them in return with Body Press. Ice Beam lets Slowbro act as a sturdier answer to offensive Ground-types, particularly Swords Dance Gliscor and Garchomp. Ice Beam can be dropped in favor of Future Sight to enable dangerous wallbreakers like Mega Lopunny and Kartana. Slowbro's Teleport also allows it to bring in offensive threats such as Mega Medicham and Weavile freely. The given EV spread allows Slowbro to survive 2 Choice Specs Tapu Lele Psychics, which it can hold off in a pinch. Heatran in particular is a great teammate, as Slowbro can take on pesky Ground-types as well as lure Ash-Greninja, and in return, Heatran can pivot into Volcarona and Serperior for Slowbro.
