Why is Slowbro UU and Slowking RU?

I don't get it. They have the same typing, the same move pool, the same base stat sum. One just has more physical bulk, the other more special. So what's the deal with that?

that typing works better as physically defensive, not specially

>Slowking RU
Hmmmmmm

What should my special wall be? Blissey? Chancey? Nah, I'll run something with less bulk, less utility, and more weakness.

we might see slowbro bump up to OU depending on how mega slowbro works out, mega slowking might too.

Physical bulk is worth more in higher tiers with things like priority attacks (Sucker Punch being the main one) being almost exclusively physical as well as commonly used moves such as U-Turn and Pursuit which are also physical attacks.

Physical bulk is already considered more valuable this gen, and that with access to Calm Mind while maintaining Special Attack means that it can work to wall both.

Slowking has access to Curse, but its Physical attack isn't good enough to really do damage with it.
