**To use Slowking effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Water/Psychic type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Slowking appears as a prominent choice 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 Regenerator, Colbur Berry and Relaxed 32/0/32/0/2/0. Its frequent moves include Trick Room, Scald, Chilly Reception, Psychic, Protect, and Psychic Noise. 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 Incineroar, Mawile-Mega, Tsareena, Crabominable-Mega, and Sinistcha appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.
