Slakoth is a notable Physical Sweeper. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Slakoth is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield until equipping Eviolite became the goto option. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. White Herb will reset Slakoth's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Hammer Arm). Focus Sash helps protect Slakoth from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Slakoth's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Truant, Slakoth skips every other turn instead of using a move.
♦ Frustration is a physical STAB-boosted 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at minimum happiness).
♦ Hammer Arm is a physical 100-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Slakoth's speed by 1 stage).
♦ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, unless the target is immune).
♦ Sucker Punch is a physical priority-increased 80-base power Dark-type move (usually goes first. fails if target is not attacking).
♦ Night Slash is a physical 70-base power Dark-type move (high critical hit ratio).
♦ Ice Punch is a physical 75-base power Ice-type move (10% chance to freeze the target).
