Slowking or Slowbro for my team?
 
I plan on using one or the other, equipped with Trick Room (Only 2 Pokemon in my party are based on Speed), I'm not sure if I should still use Slack off. I plan to use the other 2 slots for Psychic and Surf. I realize he is a wall, but he has good SP.ATK and I need a Psychic type. In any case. My team consists of Infernape (Physical Sweeper), Gengar (Special Sweeper), Tyranitar (Brute or whatever you call the big bad powerhouse of your team), Scizor (Supporter, equipped with Swords Dance/Agility/Baton Pass), Milotic (Special Wall), so I'd assume Slowking is the better man for the job, but I'm not entirely sure yet. Some insight would be appreciated, and that goes for the moveset as well if anyone has any problem with it. Thanks.

I will use a Slowking, maybe this set of moves will work:
  • Surf
  • Psychic
  • Slack Off/Nasty Plot/Calm Mind
  • Ice Beam/Shadow Ball

your team doesn't need trick room.

you really need a better physical wall who can stall. slowbro is better as a physical wall and give it calm mind + slack off.

I dunno, a lot of the time my team's lack of speed is really costing me games.

I'd use Shuckle, but he makes me nervous. Perhaps I need a suggestion on a Physical wall, but I'm really finding I need to fit Psychic somewhere in my team, and as I said, the sloth in my team is costing me (more in double battles and 3-on-3 battles, Since Scizor normally takes care of that).

I find that a good physical wall is Bronzong. It has levitate, making it immune to poison and Ground, and it has A LOT of resistances. It also has a pretty good movepool. Plus it fits the psychic requirment you need. It is essential that you max his HP if you use him as a wall.

I like the idea, but would it really benefit me to have 2 Steel types in my party?
