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 Slowpoke is: Steel, Poison, Fairy, Fighting, Fire or Flying
Terastallizing into one of it's default typings ( Water or Psychic ) could also prove useful.

Slowpoke is a decent Physical Sweeper in single battles. It's meant to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Choice Band will increase the damage of Slowpoke's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. Life Orb boosts the power of Slowpoke's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. With Oblivious, Slowpoke cannot be infatuated or taunted. Immune to intimidate.
♦ Waterfall is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Water-type move (20% chance to make the target flinch).
♦ Tera Blast is a special 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Steel-type move).
♦ Zen Headbutt is a physical STAB-boosted 80-base power Psychic-type move (20% chance to make the target flinch).
♦ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon).
