Slugma is an interesting Fire-typed Pokemon. Slugma is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield. Slugma can be quite a contender in the LC tier (Little Cup). There were no known abilities back in the Gold/Silver Pokemon games. Slugma is weak to Ground, Rock, and Water-typed attacks.
Slugma is a fabulous Special Sweeper. It's designed to take down the opponent's team with high-damaging special attacks. Before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type.
♦ Flamethrower is a special STAB-boosted 95-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Ember is a special STAB-boosted 40-base power Fire-type move (10% chance to burn the target). ♦ Amnesia is a status move (raises your Slugma's special defense by 2 stages). ♦ Toxic is a status move (badly poisons the target). ♦ Defense Curl is a status move (raises your Slugma's defense by 1 stage).
