Guts Slaking is a strong Pokemon that boasts great role compression as a damage dealer, entry hazard remover, and status absorber. Facade has downright absurd damage output, OHKOing everything that isn't a Fur Coat user or resistant to Normal at +1, and it has high enough PP to outlast Strength Sap on most walls. Tidy Up bolsters Slaking's offensive profile and also clears entry hazards, which when combined with Flame Orb's burn and disposability makes it a near-perfect switch-in to RegenVest users. V-create slams Steel-types like Zamazenta-C and picks off weakened Arceus-Ghost, while Wicked Blow hits Arceus-Ghost and Giratina harder. Strength Sap provides reliable recovery and allows Slaking to switch in and beat most Fur Coat Groudon sets one-on-one. Slaking's best fit is on balance and offense teams, as these can give it multiple opportunities to set up and heavily benefit from a good switch-in to RegenVest users like Ting-Lu. Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost is a common obstacle for Slaking and drastically reduces how fast it makes progress, so teammates that can limit its Strength Sap recovery, like Chansey and Liquid Ooze users, are recommended. Fur Coat Giratina is rare but basically unbeatable with Slaking, so a teammate like Choice Band Koraidon is appreciated to remove it or force it to Terastallize. Ghost-types and Zamazenta-C are the preferred Imposter-proofs for Slaking, as even though Fur Coat users like Groudon and Dondozo are usually sufficient, they can crumple if the Imposter user is statused.

Guts Slaking is a strong Pokemon that boasts great role compression. Facade has downright absurd damage output, OHKOing everything that isn't a Fur Coat user or resistant to Normal at +1 Can potentially mention its high PP to stall out recovery even against resists, and being weak for Imposter. Tidy Up bolsters Slaking's offensive profile and also clears entry hazards, which when combined with Flame Orb's burn and disposability makes it a near-perfect switch-in to RegenVest users. V-create slams Steel-types like Zamazenta-C and can also pick off weakened Arceus-Ghost, while Wicked Blow hits Arceus-Ghost and Giratina harder. Strength Sap provides reliable recovery and allows Slaking to switch in and beat most Fur Coat Groudon sets one-on-one. Slaking's best fit is on offensive teams, as these can give it multiple opportunities to set up and heavily benefit from a good switch-in to RegenVest users I think Slaking also fits well on balance teams because its a mostly self sufficient breaker due to Facade being nuts so it can win long games. Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost is a common obstacle for Slaking and drastically reduces how fast it makes progress, so teammates that can limit its Strength Sap recovery, like Liquid Ooze users or Chansey I would put Chansey first, are recommended. Fur Coat Giratina is rare but basically unbeatable with Slaking, so a teammate like Choice Band Koraidon is appreciated to remove it or force it to Terastallize. Ghost-types Zama-C too? are the preferred Imposter-proofs for Slaking, as even though users users? of what like Groudon and Dondozo are usually sufficient, they can crumple if the Imposter user is statused.

Guts Slaking is a strong Pokemon that boasts great role compression maybe go into a bit more detail on what that role is, saying role compression seems vague. Facade has downright absurd damage output, OHKOing everything that isn't a Fur Coat user or resistant to Normal at +1, and it has high enough PP to outlast Strength Sap on most walls. Tidy Up bolsters Slaking's offensive profile and also clears entry hazards, which when combined with Flame Orb's burn and disposability makes it a near-perfect switch-in to RegenVest users. V-create slams Steel-types like Zamazenta-C and can also pick off weakened Arceus-Ghost, while Wicked Blow hits Arceus-Ghost and Giratina harder. Strength Sap provides reliable recovery and allows Slaking to switch in and beat most Fur Coat Groudon sets one-on-one. Slaking's best fit is on balance and offense teams, as these can give it multiple opportunities to set up and heavily benefit from a good switch-in to RegenVest users such as Ting-Lu and Dialga-O. Fur Coat Arceus-Ghost is a common obstacle for Slaking and drastically reduces how fast it makes progress, so teammates that can limit its Strength Sap recovery, like Chansey and Liquid Ooze users, are recommended. Fur Coat Giratina is rare but basically unbeatable with Slaking, so a teammate like Choice Band Koraidon is appreciated to remove it or force it to Terastallize. Ghost-types like Giratina and Arceus-Ghost, as well as and makes more sense since saying the specific ghost types that can improof it is clarified Zamazenta-C are the preferred Imposter-proofs for Slaking, as even though Fur Coat users like Groudon and Dondozo are usually sufficient, they can crumple if the Imposter user is statused.

- opted to not mention "switchin to regenvest dialga-o" bc draco hurts a lot
-

small hunch that i think they know what ghosts i'm talking about (especially given there are 5 mentions between the two ghosts in question beforehand)
