Best answer

The other answers to this question are incorrect, so I’ll give the correct answer.
1.Psuedo legends must have an exactly 600 Base Stat Total. Slaking doesn’t fill this requirement becuase has 670.
2.Psuedo Legends must have 1,250,000 EXP at level 100. Slaking does have this.
3.Psuedo legends must have 2 pre evolutions. Slaking does have this, Vigoroth and Slakoth

Slaking has 2 out of the 3 requirements, but it’s BST is too high.

making it practically a legendary! (jk I'm just kidding, pls don't flag this)
(spams flags)
It has the same BST as Groudon and Kyogre.
As well as truant, which doesn’t let it attack on half of turns
But after skill swap in doubles... GAME OVER!!
You’d have to take a turn and a move slot and potentially a team slot to do that. And you’ll find that there is still plenty that outclass slaking.

Not really because his ability makes him very weak, and yes that stats are good but if you think, truant is like lowering stats at 50%, slaking is more like a i just want a kill pokemon or a good end turn one

Okay, what you said was kind of correct, but the reason was innaccurate.

No he isn't, but this is why.

These are the requirements to be a pseudo legendary.

A. Your base stats Have to be over 600 . Check.
B. You must not already be a legendary
C. You must have a dual type.

He isn't a pseudo, because he lacks a Dual type.

He din't really want a reason !! :P
arcanine has no dual type
Arcanine isn't a pseudo.
The only pseudos are: Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydregion.
Im not sure about the dual type part. Because Goodra is a pseudo legendary and it is only dragon type.
I agree with iMadMatthew. Goodra is pure Dragon type, so I don't think dual type is a requirement. Also, all Pseudo-legendaries have 3 evolution stages, and Slaking meets this criteria as well. Maybe his Ability (Truant) doesn't allow him the Pseudo-Legendary status...
