Rate My Slaking

[Lord Mike]

Slaking (M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Truant
EVs: 96 HP / 192 Atk / 220 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Earthquake
- Return
- Rock Slide
- Shadow Ball

465 HP to withstand special attacks. Its mainly a hit and run Pokemon. Attack first, OHKO, and switch out. 320 Speed is enough in my opinion to possibly strike first. 404 Attack+CB=no survival!

What do you guys think? I need suggestions.

How can you possibly call this YOUR slaking when its the standard set...

EVs are 252/252/4 for CB boost effect. Adamant please.
If you are cool you use Double-Edge>Return to OHKO Milotic=D
Skarm/Regirock/Forry owns this set if used in wrong hands btw

Apparently, your prediction skills are still weak if you use a Focus Punchl-less Slaking. Besides, a STABed Return will do more damage than a supereffective Rock Slide.

it is indeed the standard slaking. slaking is my favorite pokemon but i never use him in singles anymore. i always ran into somebody using endure/reversal. :[

but ya everybody uses that slaking, its hard to claim it as your own.

[starmie fighter]

Adamant is so much better seeing as the only thing you are outspeed with Jolly are Adamant Tauros / Houndoom / Flygon, all of which will switch out anyway.

Like AB said, STAB Return does more then SE Rock Slide, and it isn't even worth trying for the flinch imo. Stcik Focus Punch over it

Slaking actually has limited value. Slaking has low SD, making it highly vulnerable to some of the special attackers out there (Espy, Zam, Sceptile, Charizard, etc.) and most SAers are extremely fast (All listed can reach 328 or higher). Slaking will take high damage from a single Espy's Psychic. Then it becomes easy to kill. Slaking's Truant weakens it signifigantly, making Espy able to get two shots off.

However, if you will use Slaking, this might help.
Use Slaking's CB Hyper Beam, because Slaking with max ATK coupled with STAB and 150 power will eliminate almost everything. And the delay does not affect Slaking, as Truant would already delay Slaking anyway.

The best use for Slaking is in 2v2 with a partner that knows Skill Swap. Slaking then needs Leftovers (NOT A CB) and a full attacking set for tactical flexibility. Especially strong is the partner knows Follow Me because Slaking only takes an attack every other turn.

I would replace slaking with snorlax, it has good SD. And i guess he has more power then slaking. That is what I think. So if you want prove me wrong

Snorlax's Base attack is 110, Slaking's is 160, slaking smokes snorlax!

I thought you were a top tier Netbattler who knew everything... Hyper Beam does hurt slaking bcuz slaking is a hit and run pokemon. If you hyper beam you cannot switch out. Everyone knows that...
And tbh Espeon is not even a match for Slaking as Return can ohko one with limited Defence EVs. Double-Edge which is also standard can ohko it. Shadow ball is a sure OHKO as well... Putting up Espeon vs Slaking is extremely Nubbish because Espeon needs 2 CMs to OHKO CBSlaking with Psychic... And that isnt going to happen
And a very good trainer would Skill Swap Pure Power to slaking in 2vs2 so that Slaking could become virtually unbeatable
