Galarian Slowbro

Super Fighting Pokemon... Galarian Slowbro!

Galarian Slowbro has no impact on the PvE meta whatsoever, as its stats simply aren't remarkable at all. Its bulk and interesting typing makes it quite viable for gym defense due to its resistances against common Fighting-type attackers. However, Tyrannitar attackers can basically laugh at it since Focus Blast is the only threat, which is so easily dodged. 

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Poison Jab pairs with Sludge Bomb to fulfill a Poison-type role. 
• Confusion pairs with Psychic to fulfill a Psychic-type role.
• Focus Blast doesn't synergize well. 
• Surf also doesn't synergize well

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Confusion is the best fast move on defense by a significant gap.
• Poison Jab is decent with STAB, but a step down in damage output. 
• Sludge Bomb has the shortest damage window, and as a 2-bar, deals good damage. 
• Brutal Swing is a great defensive move that also offers counter-coverage against Ghost Types.
• Surf is 2-bar and covers Ground types. However, it's substantially weaker than Sludge Bomb against neutral targets.
• Psychic is very similar in performance, being slightly slower and slightly stronger. 
• Focus Blast is way too easy to dodge to be meaningful. 

Confusion deals slightly more damage than Poison Jab, while the latter provides slightly more energy gains. Either can be viable depending the typing coverage that's more preferable. Poison Jab is generally preferable as it is unique to Galarian Slowbro relative to its Slowpoke-family counterparts, and is a slightly better move in general.

Brutal Swing is Galarian Slowbro's cheapest Charged Attack and offers coverage against Ghost- and Psychic-type opponents. Surf is a moderately cheap option that aids in dealing with pesky Ground-type enemies. Sludge Bomb is a decent well-rounded Charged Attack, but it doesn't offer too much coverage. Psychic is somewhat underwhelming, but it can punish opposing Poison-type Pokemon who may otherwise be generally safe against Galarian Slowbro. Focus Blast is too expensive for consistent results, but its massive damage and coverage can catch opponents off guard - most notably by deleting tanky Steel- and Normal-type Pokemon.
