      ⚔️ Raids

      Slowking is a Water and Psychic dual-type Pokémon. Its Shadow form performs okay as a raid attacker. However, the base regular Slowking does not perform particularly well as a raid attacker.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Slowking has decent stats for PvP. However, ever since Surf was nerfed, Slowking has lost a lot of its potential. Additionally, its Water and Psychic typing is not ideal, as it leaves Slowking with five weaknesses.
