What is a good moveset for Slowbro?

Mine knows:

Calm Mind: Increases Slowbro's Sp. stats.

Attract: Inflicts foes of the opposite gender with infatuation.

Psychic: STAB, good power, chance to lower Sp. Def, high accuracy.

Slack Off: Heals Slowbro.

Mine has
Surf(STAB, super strong move.)
Psychic(same reason as surf)
Calm Mind(since slowbro has good defense already and doesnt need its attack increase its special stats.)
This last slot is optional. Personally, I would add in Toxic for good weakening, in case you cant sweep with special moves, toxic is an excellent backup. Some people like to add moves that cover weaknesses like flamethrower, for grass weakness. Or if your slowbro has pretty high attack, earthquake or dig for the electric weakness.

Slowbro (M) @ Leftovers

Trait: Regenerator

EVs: 8 HP / 252 Def / 232 SAtk / 16 SDef

Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

  • Scald
  • Flamethrower
  • Psyshock
  • Calm Mind

Okay, this guy is just awesome. Scald provides nice powered STAB that also will burn the foe fairly frequently, further increasing your defensive power, Psyshock is also STAB that takes care of Blissey and Chansey. Flamethrower is really cool type coverage, I find it just awesome that Slowbro gets this move. Calm Mind allows you to be even more defensively powerful, as it increases the sub-par Special Defense stat. It also allows for more EVs to be put into other stats, as it also raises Special Attack. Your defense is maxed out because you have no way to boost it besides technically with Scald burning. The special based EVs give Slowbro good stats to work off of with Calm Mind, and I also added in a few EVs for HP. Leftovers helps Slowbro survive even longer. Regenerator is a great ability, as if Slowbro is in trouble, you can switch out and heal up. One of my favorite Pokemon.

And to think, had they just made Slowbro evolve into Slowking instead of making them two separate evolution chains, he would be able to use the evolite. *shudders*
Glad that didn't happen. I like Slowbro as is. Powerful yet in no way unfair.

Slowbro (M) @ Leftovers

Role: Tankish... Wallish... Oh Gosh, I don't even care and I doubt you do...

Trait: Regenerator

EVs: 128 HP / 252 Def / 112 SAtk / 16 SDef

Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)

  • Amnesia
  • Toxic
  • Surf
  • Flamethrower

1 Amnesia, and You're a total pain in the butt to kill.

Throw in Toxic, and 2 moves that cover each other well, and you're now Just totally pissing your opponent off.

Surf is STAB and Flamethrower is to Cover Grass and Steel, And Magnezone...

Slowbro@leftovers

Ability: Regenerater
Nature: Modest/Quiet
EVs: 200 S.attack, 100 Def, 260 hp


Calm-mind
Scald
Flamethrower
Psyshock/Ice-beam/Shadow ball


Calm-mind boosts your offense and your lowest defensive stat making you a super Tank that hits hard and never dies!

Scald is not only a great offensive move but it has a 30% burn chance as well! This move is an amazing move for a special tank.

Flamethrower covers Grass, and Bug weaknesses as well as most Steel types.

Psyshock/Ice-beam/Shadow-ball if you choose any of them you will have a great offensive move: Psyshock provides excellent coverage and STAB and it greatly helps against the rise of Fighting types. Ice-beam can cover the dragons and more coverage on grass types it can also help kill the new threat of Gliscor. Shadow-ball this provides coverage against your Ghost weakness and other psychics.

Double/Triple battle

Slowbro (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Own Tempo
EVs: 80 HP / 176 Def / 252 SAtk
Quiet Nature (+SAtk, -Spd)
- Trick Room
- Surf
- Heal Pulse/Blizzard
- Psychic

Trick Room is such a useful move in multi-battles. It allows a team of slow Pokemon to sweep the foe. Five turns is enough time as you don't waste anytime switching out. You have your sweepers already there. Surf is STAB that hits multiple foes. Psychic is also STAB. Since you have other Pokemon out, you'll likely have something able to take down Blissey/Chansey, so there is no need to use Psyshock. Heal Pulse provides team support, although it can be replaced with Blizzard to provide coverage. Own Tempo allows you to be teamed up with a Flatter user in order to raise your Special Attack. It also protects from Teeter Dance.
