[SET COMMENTS]
Slowbro is an essential pick for Psychic teams due to its physical bulk, which allows it to tank hits from Chien-Pao, Excadrill, and Meowscarada for the team. Body Press pairs nicely with Slowbro's Defense, dealing with Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Scald checks physical threats like Mamoswine and Excadrill while also having a chance to burn them in the process. Thunder Wave allows Slowbro to paralyze fast threats like Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and Choice Scarf Kleavor that are troublesome to Psychic teams. Thunder Wave also synergizes with Scald, catching switches into potential Scald-resistant foes. Iron Defense can be run over Thunder Wave to help take on Gouging Fire better, but doing so means that Slowbro is unable to spread paralysis to troublesome foes. Colbur Berry is a great item, allowing Slowbro to tank a hit from a Dark-type attack, including +2 Crunch from Chien-Pao and +2 Kowtow Cleave from Kingambit with five Supreme Overlord boosts, and retaliate with Body Press. Eject Button can be used over Colbur Berry to allow Slowbro to act as a pivot for the team. Additionally, after using the Eject Button, Slowbro can take Poltergeist from Ceruledge and Knock Off from Roaring Moon. 248 HP EVs are used to allow Slowbro to get the best use out of Regenerator.

Choice Scarf Iron Boulder is a great teammate for Slowbro, outspeeding and taking out threats like the Ogerpon formes, Greninja, and Meowscarada with Mighty Cleave and Close Combat. Assault Vest Hoopa-U tanks special attacks from troublesome Ghost- and Dark-types like Flutter Mane, Gholdengo, and Greninja and takes them out with Knock Off and Drain Punch. Hatterene eases the matchup against Dark and Dragon teams with Draining Kiss while also preventing entry hazards and status from being set thanks to Magic Bounce. Hatterene can also run Nuzzle to spread paralysis to threats, which can let Slowbro opt for Iron Defense instead of Thunder Wave. Choice Band Metagross deals with Fairy-types like Flutter Mane, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant with Bullet Punch. Metagross also provides entry hazard support via Stealth Rock to break a potential Focus Sash held by Ceruledge. Choice Scarf Latias takes out Choice Specs Dragapult and Choice Specs Hydreigon with Draco Meteor and can also Choice lock walls with Choice Scarf via Trick. Gallade helps Slowbro by handling walls such as Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, and Blissey with Sacred Sword. Indeedee provides an immunity to Ghost, an immunity to priority moves via Psychic Surge, and Healing Wish support that gives Slowbro a second chance to wall out physical threats. Indeedee also provides utility with Trick, as it can Choice lock walls like Sableye and Ting-Lu by giving them a Choice item. In return, Slowbro deals with Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Excadrill, which Indeedee can't take on by itself. Espathra becomes a threatening wincon for Slowbro's team once Dark-types have been dealt with. Calm Mind Latios is a nice teammate for Slowbro, taking out threats like Landorus, Clodsire, and Ursaluna-B via Luster Purge and Ice Beam.

Body Press pairs nicely with Slowbro's defense, dealing with Chien-Pao, Hisuian Goodra, and Blissey (these wouldnt swap into you). Scald checks physical threats like Mamoswine, Excadrill while also having a chance to burn them in the process. Thunder Wave allows Slowbro to paralyze fast threats like Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and Choice Scarf Kleavor which would prove troublesome to Psychic teams (it also has some synergy with scald since Ground types wouldnt swap onto Slowbro, which means it can punish swap outs just as well too). Iron Defense can be run over Thunder Wave to help take on Chien-Pao, Kingambit, (you just body press them) and Gouging Fire better. But doing so will lack spreading paralysis to troublesome foes. Slack Off and Regenerator forms a great recovery synergy, allowing Slowbro to stay healthy throughout the battle (Idt Slack Off needs a description). Colbur Berry is a great item, allowing Slowbro to tank a hit from a Dark attack; notably +2 Chien-Pao Crunch, 5 fallen boosted +2 Kowtow KCleave from Kingambit, and retaliate back with Body Press. (Eject Button lets it be a pivot an a check to poltergeist ceruledge/Roaring moon with Knock off later) The 248 HP EVs allows Slowbro to get the best use out of Regenerator.

Choice Scarf Iron Boulder is a great teammate for Slowbro, being able to out speed and take out threats like the Ogerpon formes, Greninja, and Meowscarada with Mighty Cleave and Megahorn. Assault Vest Hoopa-U tanks special from troublesome Ghost- and Dark-types like Flutter Mane, Gholdengo, and Greninja; and takes them out with Knock Off and Drain Punch. Indeedee provides Ghost immunity, priority immunity via Psychic Surge, and Healing Wish support to give Slowbro a second chance to wall out physical threats. Indeedee also provides utility in Trick to Choice lock walls like Sableye and Ting-lu. Hatterene eases the Dark and Dragon Matchup with Draining Kiss, while also preventing hazards and status from being set thanks to Magic Bounce.

*Espathra appreciates Dark types going poof because Slowbro lured those
*Move indeedee down, he really isnt good anymore
*Latios is pretty cool too, it deals with Lando-I and Clodsire and Bloona readily, allowing Slowbro to just win later

[SET COMMENTS]
Slowbro is an essential pick for Psychic teams due to its physical bulk, which allows it to tank hits from Chien-Pao, Excadrill, and Meowscarada for the team. Body Press pairs nicely with Slowbro's Defense, dealing with Chien-Pao and Kingambit. Scald checks physical threats like Mamoswine and Excadrill while also having a chance to burn them in the process. Thunder Wave allows Slowbro to paralyze fast threats like Meowscarada, Roaring Moon, and Choice Scarf Kleavor that are troublesome to Psychic teams. Thunder Wave also synergizes with Scald, catching switches into potential Scald-resistant foes. Iron Defense can be run over Thunder Wave to help take on Gouging Fire better, but doing so will mean means that Slowbro is unable to spread paralysis to troublesome foes. Colbur Berry is a great item, allowing Slowbro to tank a hit from a Dark-type attack, (replaced semicolon with comma) notable examples including +2 Crunch from Chien-Pao and +2 Kowtow Cleave from Kingambit with five Supreme Overlord boosts, and retaliate back (redundant with retaliate) with Body Press. Eject Button can be used over Colbur Berry to allow Slowbro to act as a pivot for the team. Additionally, after using the Eject Button, Slowbro can check take (mons are checked, not moves) Poltergeist from Ceruledge and Knock Off from Roaring Moon. 248 HP EVs are used to allow Slowbro to get the best use out of Regenerator.

Choice Scarf Iron Boulder is a great teammate for Slowbro, being able to outspeed outspeeding and take taking out threats like the Ogerpon formes, Greninja, and Meowscarada with Mighty Cleave and Close Combat. Assault Vest Hoopa-U tanks special attacks from troublesome Ghost- and Dark-types like Flutter Mane, Gholdengo, and Greninja and takes them out with Knock Off and Drain Punch. Hatterene eases the matchup against Dark and Dragon teams with Draining Kiss (RC) while also preventing entry hazards and status from being set thanks to Magic Bounce. Hatterene can also run Nuzzle to spread paralysis to threats, which can let Slowbro opt for Iron Defense instead of Thunder Wave. Choice Band Metagross deals with Fairy-types like Flutter Mane, Enamorus, and Iron Valiant with Bullet Punch. Metagross also provides entry hazard support via Stealth Rock to break a potential Focus Sash held by Ceruledge. Choice Scarf Latias takes out Choice Specs Dragapult and Choice Specs Hydreigon with Draco Meteor and can also Choice lock walls into with Choice Scarf via Trick. Gallade helps Slowbro by being able to handle handling walls such as Hisuian Goodra, Alolan Muk, and Blissey with Sacred Sword. Indeedee provides an immunity to Ghost, an immunity to priority moves via Psychic Surge, and Healing Wish support that gives Slowbro a second chance to wall out physical threats. Indeedee also provides utility with Trick, (AC) as it can Choice lock walls like Sableye and (remove double space) Ting-Lu into by giving them a Choice item. In return, Slowbro deals with Chien-Pao, Kingambit, and Excadrill, which Indeedee can't take on by itself. Espathra becomes a threatening win condition wincon for Slowbro's team once Dark-types have been dealt with. Calm Mind Latios is a nice teammate for Slowbro, being able to take taking out threats like Landorus, Clodsire, and Ursaluna-B via Luster Purge and Ice Beam.

Other Options
=============
Psychic
--------
Holding no item can be an option, as Slowbro is then able to wall Poltergeist and Knock Off users and have a better time checking them.
