[SET COMMENTS]
Galarian Slowking is a solid defensive piece for Poison teams with its incredible Special Defense, especially with an Assault Vest, able to shrug off hits from threats such as Heatran, Latios, and Raging Bolt. Future Sight is used to create pressure and helps to break opposing teams by nailing threats like Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Amoonguss that may want to switch in against Galarian Slowking's physical teammates like Sneasler and Okidogi for high amounts of damage. Sludge Bomb gives a much more consistent STAB option and helps to nail Fairy-type threats like Enamorus, Iron Valiant, and Primarina. Ice Beam stops threatening Dragon- and Flying-type threats like Latias, Raging Bolt, and Landorus. Flamethrower serves as a solid coverage option, melting problematic Steel-types like Corviknight, Skarmory, and Gholdengo that can otherwise shrug off Galarian Slowking's attacks, along with acting as a lure for Heatran. Finally, Earthquake gives Galarian Slowking a good way to break Heatran, which Poison teams detest, once its Air Balloon pops.

Sneasler and Okidogi benefit from Galarian Slowking immensely, as they can deal with threats attempting to take Galarian Slowking's Future Sights like Articuno, Blissey and Alolan Muk thanks to their high-powered Fighting-type STAB moves. Galarian Slowking, meanwhile, benefits from them removing dangerous Dark-type threats like Ting-Lu, Kingambit, and Hisuian Samurott. Amoonguss complements Galarian Slowking by being a physical wall capable of handling physical attacks from the likes of Great Tusk and Iron Treads with its Grass-type STAB moves and Foul Play, along with creating openings with Spore so Galarian Slowking can pivot in to heal and set Future Sight. Galarian Weezing provides similar support thanks to Levitate and its ability to handle threats like Garchomp, Dragonite, and Mamoswine with Strange Steam and Will-O-Wisp as well as remove entry hazards thanks to Defog. Toxapex completes the Regenerator core while also handling high-powered physical attacks from the likes of Scizor, Chien-Pao, and Ceruledge. Alolan Muk handles Ghost- and Psychic-type threats attempting to overwhelm Galarian Slowking like Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Latias with Knock Off. Overqwil, with its far higher physical bulk and Intimidate, checks physical Ghost- and Psychic-type threats such as Ceruledge and Iron Boulder and sets Spikes to make Galarian Slowking's answers, Alolan Muk and Hisuian Goodra, take considerable chip damage. Iron Moth enjoys Galarian Slowking's ability to handle Heatran, which allows it to deal with the Steel-types like Corviknight and Gholdengo that would otherwise sit on Galarian Slowking and use its lacking Flamethrower as setup bait, along with melting Chien-Pao and Iron Treads if it is using a Choice Scarf. Salazzle similarly appreciates the removal of Heatran and helps out Galarian Slowking by inflicting Toxic onto special walls such as Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk with Corrosion, putting them on timers. Glimmora provides similar Toxic support with Corrosion while also setting entry hazards, chipping at switch-ins like Alolan Muk, Ting-Lu, and Hisuian Goodra when they come to stop Galarian Slowking.

Galarian Slowking is a solid defense piece for Poison teams with its incredible special defense, especially with an Assault Vest able to shrug off hits from threats such as Heatran, Latios, and Raging Bolt. Future Sight is used to create pressure and helps to break opposing teams by nailing threats like Toxapex, Great Tusk, and Amoonguss for high amounts of damage who may want to switch in against Galarian Slowking's physical teammates like Sneasler and Okidogi. Sludge Bomb gives a much more consistent STAB option and helps to nail Fairy-type threats like Enamorus, Iron Valiant, and Hatterene (also makes it awkward to swap into, usually. Poison doesnt have problems with Enam, and Hatt might be an iffy matchup for Glowking esp if screens are up). Ice Beam stops threatening Dragon- and Flying-type threats like Latias, Raging Bolt, and Landorus. Finally Earthquake gives Galarian Slowking a good way to hit speciall walls such as Blissey, Heatran and Alolan Muk who otherwise shrug off Galarian Slowking's special onslaughts (its really just for meowtran, Alolan Muk would usually win the encounter).
*If you want more mons Slowking-G beats so that Raging bolt and some arent as stale, you can add Specs Walking Wake, Volcanion, Hydrapple, Kyurem (....)
*The reason why Flame should be added in the main set is that heatran wouldnt come in ever if they never see Flamethrower (Eq is munched by Def Gholdengo for instance)

Sneasler and Okidogi benefit from Galarian Slowking immensely as they can deal with threats attemping attempting to take Galarian Slowking's future sights like Articuno, Blissey and Alolan Muk thanks to their high powered Fighting-type STAB while Galarian Slowking benefit from them removing danagerous dangerous Dark-type threats like Ting-Lu, Hoopa-Unbound (He is dangerous, can be scarfed, will bop with Psychic. Maybe Kingambit?), and Hisuian Samurott. Amoonguss compliments Galarian Slowking by being a physically bulky wall capable of handle threatening Physical attacks from the likes of Great Tusk, Excadrill, and Iron Treads with its Grass-type STAB (um its not threatening to Exca/Treads, but Spore/Fplay is stinky [esp for Exca] tho) along with creating openings with Spore so Galarian Slowking can pivot in to heal and set Future Sight. Galarian Weezing provides similar support thanks to its levitate ability being able to handle monsters like Garchomp, Dragonite, and Mamoswine along with removing entry hazards thanks to Defog. Toxapex handles high powered physical attacks from the likes of Scizor, Chien-Pao, and Ceruledge along with completing Poison's regenerator core. Alolan Muk handles Ghost- and Psychic threats attempting to overwhelm Galarian Slowking like Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Latias. Overqwil with its far higher physical bulk and Intimidate handles physical Ghost- and Psychic-type threats that Alolan Muk cannot such as Dragapult, Iron Boulder, and Metagross (dragapult is likely mixed, so perhaps Ceruledge might be better? You dont want Overqwil burned. Also sets Spikes which is nice in the long run because of fsights, sludge bombs, etc). Iron Moth enjoys Galarian Slowking's ability to handle Heatran, which allows it to deal with the Steel-types that would otherwise set on Galarian Slowking like Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Skarmory that would otherwise use Galarian Slowking as setup bait (also specs Overheat hit really hard still, while scarf burns Chien-Pao to the ground). Salazzle similarly appreicates appreciates the removal of Heatran along with helping out Galarian Slowking by inflicting Corrosion Toxic onto special walls such as Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk putting them on timers. Glimmora provides similar Corrosion Toxic support while also setting entry hazards chipping switch ins like Alolan Muk, Ting-lu, and Hisuian Goodra when they come to Handle Galarian Slowking.

[Other Options]
Flamethrower serves as a solid coverage option, melting problematic steel types like Corviknight, Skarmory and Gholdengo which can otherwise shrug off Galarian Slowking's attacks.

Finally Earthquake gives Galarian Slowking a good way to break Heatran which Poison teams detests. (after its Air Balloon pop otherwise it just walls Glowking.)

Sneasler and Okidogi benefit from Galarian Slowking immensely as they can deal with threats attempting to take Galarian Slowking's future sights like Articuno, Blissey and Alolan Muk thanks to Close Combat, their high powered Fighting-type STAB while Galarian Slowking benefit from them removing dangerous Dark-type threats like Ting-Lu, Kingambit, and Hisuian Samurott. (Break this into two sentences, can start the second sentence where you talked about Glowking benefits from...) Amoonguss compliments Galarian Slowking by being a physical physically bulky wall capable of handling handle threatening Physical attacks from the likes of Great Tusk, Excadrill, (Not a good Mention as Band Excadrill 2hkos Amoonguss.) and Iron Treads with Giga Drain its Grass-type STAB and Foul Play along with creating openings with Spore so Galarian Slowking can pivot in to heal and set Future Sight. Galarian Weezing provides similar support thanks to its Levitate levitate ability and being able to handle threats monsters like Garchomp, Dragonite, and Mamoswine with Strange Steam and Will-o-Wisp; along with removing entry hazards thanks to Defog. (What does Glowking do in return for Amoonguss and Geezing?) Toxapex handles high powered physical attacks from the likes of Scizor, Chien-Pao, and Ceruledge along with completing Poison's regenerator core. (Reword the sentence its a bit of a cluster. You can say like Toxapex completes the Regenerator core while also handling high powered...) Alolan Muk handles Ghost- and Psychic threats attempting to overwhelm Galarian Slowking like Flutter Mane, Spectrier, and Latias with Knock Off. Overqwil with its far higher physical bulk and Intimidate handles physical Ghost- and Psychic-type threats that Alolan Muk cannot such as Ceruledge, and Iron Boulder, and Metagross along with setting Spikes to make Galarian Slowking's answers (Like?) take even more damage. (I would remove Metagross as an answer as Band Eq hurts alot even after a Inimidate drop. -1 252+ Atk Choice Band Metagross Earthquake vs. 248 HP / 204+ Def Overqwil: 192-226 (51.4 - 60.5%) -- 91.8% chance to 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery). Iron Moth enjoys Galarian Slowking's ability to handle Heatran, which allows it to deal with the Steel-types that would otherwise sit on Galarian Slowking like Corviknight, Gholdengo, and Skarmory that would otherwise use Galarian Slowking as setup bait along with melting Chien-Pao if it is using a Choice Scarf. (If Galarian Slowking doesnt opt for Flamethrower.) Salazzle similarly appreciates the removal of Heatran along with helping out Galarian Slowking by inflicting Corrosion Toxic onto special walls such as Hisuian Goodra and Alolan Muk putting them on timers. (For Iron Moth and Salazzle, both talk about why they are good team options first. Then add in what glowking does for them in return.) Glimmora provides similar Corrosion Toxic support while also setting entry hazards chipping switch ins like Alolan Muk, Ting-lu, and Hisuian Goodra when they come to Handle Galarian Slowking.

QC 2/2 Credit both me and Giyu ty well done!

 

[Pengairxan]

Some notable counterpoints.

Sneasler and Okidogi benefit from Galarian Slowking immensely as they can deal with threats attempting to take Galarian Slowking's future sights like Articuno, Blissey and Alolan Muk thanks to Close Combat, their high powered Fighting-type STAB

While Sneasler will always be CC, Okidogi regularly runs Drain Punch thanks to it being a bulky setup mon who enjoys the recovery and only runs CC on more offensive sets like Choice Scarf which needs the power.

Great Tusk, Excadrill, (Not a good Mention as Band Excadrill 2hkos Amoonguss.) and Iron Treads with Giga Drain its Grass-type STAB

Amoonguss may decide to run EBall for its higher power and the ability to smack Bulk up Lando-T.

 

[Pengairxan]

And with that out of the way.
GP Team come fourth.

 

[SolarBeam]

1/1, GP Team done
