Slowbro has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The bulky Regenerator build is the safest option, while the setup build can become a late-game win condition.
This is the main Slowbro build. It uses bulk and Regenerator to keep coming back while applying Water and Psychic-type pressure.
| Item | Sitrus Berry or Rocky Helmet |
|---|---|
| Ability | Regenerator |
| Nature | Bold, +Defense and -Attack |
| Moves | Scald, Psychic, Slack Off, Protect |
| Stat Point Spread | HP: 32 / Defense: 24 / Sp. Atk: 6 |
This version lets Slowbro become harder to remove over time. Use it when your team can protect Slowbro long enough to set up.
| Item | Leftovers |
|---|---|
| Ability | Own Tempo or Regenerator |
| Nature | Bold, +Defense and -Attack |
| Moves | Scald, Psychic, Calm Mind, Slack Off |
| Stat Point Spread | HP: 30 / Defense: 20 / Sp. Def: 12 |
Slowbro stats are shown below for easy comparison.
Sitrus Berry is the best general item because it gives Slowbro immediate recovery when it takes heavy damage.
Rocky Helmet punishes contact attackers, while Leftovers fits slower setup builds.
Slowbro works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.
Slowbro is strong against physical attackers, Fire, Fighting, Poison and Ground-type Pokemon. It is especially useful when teams need a bulky pivot.
Scald pressure also makes physical attackers think twice before attacking into Slowbro.
