What is a good competitive moveset for Slowpoke? These builds have been optimized for Pokemon competing in Gold/Silver Single Battles. The movesets and EVs have been specifically calibrated to deal the most amount of damage to the largest group of potentially common opponents and typing threats for the Gold/Silver generation metagame.
Slowpoke is a fabulous Water and Psychic-typed Pokemon. Slowpoke is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield. This Pokemon deserves to see more play in the meta. There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Slowpoke is weak to Bug, Dark, Electric, Ghost, and Grass-typed attacks.
Slowpoke is an outstanding Physical Sweeper. It tries to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Don't forget back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/4 recoil). ♦ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (power doubles on dig). ♦ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ♦ Shadow Ball is a physical 80-base power Ghost-type move (20% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ♦ Belly Drum is a status move (Slowpoke loses 50% max hp; This also maximizes Slowpoke's attack stat).
