Special Sweeper Slugma (Weak Armor)
Slugma is a sensational Special Sweeper. It's meant to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. White Herb will reset Slugma's negative stat changes once (specifically for when it uses Overheat). Focus Sash helps protect Slugma from being one-shotted and allowing it to atleast use a crucial move when brought out. Life Orb boosts the power of Slugma's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Weak Armor, if a physical attack hits Slugma defense is lowered by 1 speed is raised by 1.
♦ Overheat is a special STAB-boosted 140-base power Fire-type move (lowers your Slugma's special attack by 2 stages). ♦ Flamethrower is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Earth Power is a special 90-base power Ground-type move (10% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ♦ Mud-Slap is a special 20-base power Ground-type move (100% chance to lower the target's accuracy by 1 stage). ♦ Ancient Power is a special 60-base power Rock-type move (10% chance to raise all stats by 1 stage (not acc/eva)). ♦ Round is a special 60-base power Normal-type move (power doubles if others used round this turn). ♦ Snore is a special 40-base power Normal-type move (Slugma must be asleep. 30% chance to flinch target).
