Slowking's better use of Special defence is nullified by the fact that it's mainly weak to moves that are typically Special maing it a mute point to come in on special attackers. Slowbro can show off his physical bulk on most pokemon

Because he is a carefree fuck who dun give no shit and lives in a mutual relationship with Shellder. Slowking is an arrogant asshole who is too intelligent for his own and Shellder's good

yeah, for several reasons.
>>31380054
makes a good point, electric, grass and ghost are mainly special and very distributed, so the increased special defense is not that well spent.

Not to mention the resistances water/psychic gets (specifically fighting) are good coupled with increased defense, so it work a lot better.

in general, physical moves are better than special ones. priority is almost exclusively physical, and higher power special moves come with more drawbacks than their physical correspondents (e.g. CC and HJK vs Focus Miss, Overheat and Fire Blast vs Flare Blitz, etc)

>weak to special hits
>more special defense

this would seem like a good thing. I guess his special bulk is not enough to come in on special hits? Wheras slowbro can come in on physical and then calm mind?

You don't come in on super effective hits, even if you are very bulky. It's better to have your higher defence be for types you resist, so that you can switch in on them even better.

I like it more as it is where the way it evolves is clearly based on how the shellder happens to clamp on to it. It's kind of unfair that slowking doesn't get a mega while the bro does, but there's a lot of pokemon that don't have megas that aren't just slightly different versions of pokemon who have them already that I think deserve them first

Special bulk is better this year in VGC. If you also need physical bulk, you can use an Intimidate user with it.

You can do that with Slowbro and a Snarl user, but the King is better, in my opinion.

>>31380625

Slowbro can do that too. I love Trick Rooming without the fear of Taunt, but now I have to deal with the Roar and Whirlwind users.
