Slowking Special Tank (Trick Room King)
Slowking is a pretty decent Special Tank. It is meant to take a considerable amount of hits from special attacks while dealing some decent damage. Leftovers are always a great recovery option to ensure Slowking last longer regaining it's stamina every turn. With Regenerator, Slowking restores 1/3 of its maximum hp rounded down when it switches out. I think Slowking is one of the best Trick Room users in the game (it's even in the name!). With good bulk and typing, it can set up Trick Room several times, and heal up on the switch thanks to Regenerator. Surf, Psychic, and Fire Blast offer great coverage for a super strong and super slow special sweeper.

Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Bug moves are bad against Steel/Poison/Fairy/Fighting/Fire/Flying/Ghost.
Dark moves are bad against Fairy/Fighting/Dark.
Electric moves are bad against Ground.
Ghost moves are bad against Normal.
Grass moves are bad against Grass/Dragon/Fire/Flying/Poison/Bug/Steel.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Slowking is: Steel, Poison, Fairy, Fighting, Fire or Flying
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Water or Psychic ) could also prove favorable.
