Type/s: Water/Psychic
HP: 393
Attack: 248
Defense: 318
Speed: 158
Special: 258
Amnesia
Surf
Thunderwave
Rest
By far one of the most annoying and dangerous Pokemon in the game. Give a Pokemon with almost 400 HP and over 300 defense Amnesia and you get a Pokemon that can sweep entire teams once certain things are out of the way. Once you use Amnesia three times you'll reach 999 special, which will OHKO everything in the game not resistant to Surf except Snorlax and Chansey.
By far Slowbro's biggest threat is Starmie. With a great CH rate, Thunderbolt and Recover, you would need a lot of luck to go 24 Thunderbolts with getting CHd once. In addition to the threat of getting CHd, Starmie can easily PP waste Slowbro as well.
Other threats include Golem who outspeeds Slowbro and can explode on it, as well as Exeggutor who can also survive two Surfs. Snorlax is another problem for Slowbro because it will survive one Surf and can use Selfdestruct after. Chansey, while getting 2HKOd on average, can use Softboiled over and over to attempt a PP waste.
Basically while Slowbro is very dangerous, it should also be the core of your team. Much of your game should be devoted to getting rid of anything, or at least hurting, what will counter Slowbro very easily. Even Tauros needs luck to kill Slowbro, only doing around 25% with Body Slam.
