It should have EQ for sure. I actually like ice punch on it, assuming it can learn it, becasue dragons are evil. Scarfing it puts you at the top of the speed spectrum, except ninjask. It has a nice varienty of moves...EQ for sure, something to deal with ghosts, your normal move, and then a move of your choice is my suggestion...

Letting slaking lose speed is the equivalent of lettibng Alakazam lose its speed. DON'T use hammer arm on it, unless you want it to get run over...and focus punch is a nice move for it.

slaking can't subpunch because of its ability...but focus punch is still nice on it.

Use Choice Scarf on Slaking. It will be more useful. Slaking can knock out teams if it survives but at best it could mostly half a team. It will still make a big impact.

Slaking @ Choice Scarf
Adamant Nature
EV:252 Atk/ 200 Spd/ 52 HP
-Giga Impact
-Earthquake
-Shadow Claw
-Ice Punch/Rock Slide/Thunder Punch

Bleach! I haven't seen you forever, like, back when I joined! Anyways, return should be considered since hera can switchin the turn you rest and gobble you. You can't switch out after giga impact, though I still prefer it.

Scarf Slaking can out speed Scarf Heracross. D:

Return is a considerable choice as a extra normal attack. Though it's max base damage is 128 it can be game inflicting. Slaking should just have attacks that covers Ghost types and Flying types.

Ice Punch Slaking would be dangerous though.

No, I mean, you giga impact somebody, so they die, Then, the turn you are recharging and can't switch, heracross comes in and hammers you w/ close combat, and since you can't switch...that is the one upside of return.
