Slowking’s natural bulk, good defensive typing, and access to Regenerator make it a solid defensive pivot in the metagame. Chilly Reception is a great pivot move that allows Slowking to bring in teammates safely. It has great synergy with Future Sight, allowing Slowking to bring in Pokemon such as Pawmot to punish would-be Future Sight absorbers, which tend to be either Dark-Types or Pokemon that do not like to take physical attacks, such as Tinkaton and Gastrodon. Heavy-Duty Boots is used to prevent Slowking from getting worn down by hazards. 0 Speed IVs allow Slowking to be as slow as possible, ensuring that Chilly Reception moves last. 56 Special Defense EVs with a Sassy nature allow Slowking to comfortably switch into foes such as Special Attacker Salamence and Noivern. Tera Fairy lets Slowking improve its matchups against Slither Wing, Tyranitar, and Sandy Shocks. Tera Water lets Slowking power up its Surf to better threaten targets like Slither Wing and Unaware Quagsire, and it removes its weakness to Bug- and Dark-type moves from Slither Wing and Bisharp.
Slowking fits on bulky offense and balance teams that value its ability to tank hits and safely pivot into strong wallbreakers. Pokemon like Gengar and Tyranitar appreciate the safe entry Slowking can provide with Chilly Reception, along with the pressure Future Sight can put on the opponent. Hippowdon forms a good defensive synergy with Slowking, able to act as a switch-in to strong physical attacks from Tyranitar and Slither Wing and Electric attacks from Sandy Shocks and Pawmot. Tinkaton is also a good partner, as it can switch into Gengar for Slowking.
