How to use Slowking in the current VGC format

Slowking is listed as a Water/Psychic type in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Slowking fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Oblivious, Colbur Berry and Sassy 32/0/32/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Trick Room, Yawn, Heal Pulse, and Scald. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Slowking has important weaknesses to bug 2x, dark 2x, electric 2x, ghost 2x, grass 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as scizor-mega, samurott-hisui, archaludon, crabominable, and skeledirge appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
