Sitrus Berry is the best general item because it gives Slowking immediate recovery after taking heavy damage.
Mental Herb is useful for Trick Room builds because it helps Slowking ignore Taunt once.
Slowking works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.
Slowking is strong against Fire, Fighting, Poison and Ground-type Pokemon. Its special bulk makes it a reliable answer into many special attackers.
Trick Room gives Slowking a way to support slower offensive partners.
Slowking is threatened by Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost and Dark-type attacks. Physical attackers can also pressure it if they avoid burns.
