Slowton

**Slowton** is a fusion featured in the Fusion Evolution Under Used Pet Mod. It is a fusion of Galarian Slowking and Magneton.

## Overview

Slowton is one of the best wallbreakers and bulky pivots around because of its bulk, coverage options, and amazing ability in Surgeon Eye. It is also one of the premier checks to common threats such as Noicity, Mega Silvino and Mega Corveot as it can easily switch into them, stay healthy out of its ability and keep momentum with Volt Switch. Surgeon Eye lets Slowton make progress against an opposing team with its coverage, ignore small amounts of chip damage, and pivot with very little risk. However, Slowton can't do much to Ground-types such as Landmaldo-Therian, Jelliswine and Dongoro, being forced to virtually always move last also opens Slowton on being pretty easy to pressure offensively if it loses a bit of momentum by attackers such as Lycanserker-Dusk and Stoudrago, and Slowton can't afford to lose its item if it wants to keep consistently checking special attackers, so it has to think twice before switching into Pokémon it would check without issue such as Tanette.

* Maximum stats are calculated with 252 EVs, 31 IVs, and (if applicable) a helpful nature.

**Moves**

Sludge Bomb is used over Sludge Wave for its higher probability to poison, which can annoy switchins like Chomplim and Jelliswine. Scald covers Ground types such as Chomplim and Yacian-Crowned. Flamethrower can be used to hit Mega Silvino Steel hard, Ice Beam OHKOs Eternabat, Focus Blast hits Galarian Arctres the hardest (although it is already wary of Sludge Bomb), and Shadow Ball is Slowton's strongest move against Jelliswine.

**Set Details**

This is a standard Regenvest set, sponging special attacks and using its very low speed to fire off powerful attacks with Surgeon Eye and ensure slow pivoting.

**Usage Tips**

Efficient usage of Surgeon Eye is key to using this set correctly; try as much as possible to bring Slowton in in against weak attacks such as Tanette's Moonblast in order to heal Slowton. Sludge Bomb and Scald are very useful moves early-game, as getting status on Pokemon such as Galarian Thornbro and Grousle can help to wear them down, while burning potential switch-ins such as Landmaldo-Therian can cripple them for the rest of the game. Volt Switch is a pretty safe move if you don't think a Ground type is coming in, especially when Stealth Rock is up, as it gives free momentum. Its other coverage options should be used if the opponent is predicted to bring in a particular Pokémon that may force out Slowton to wear it down, and as general coverage otherwise to ease its match-up at times.
**Team Options**

Corveot covers Slowton's weakness to Yacian-Crowned, resisting Yacian's STABs. It also slow pivots with U-Turn, creating a very useful defensive pivot core. Similarly, Since Slowton is often blocked by Ground-types, checks to these such as Kingtsar, Tanette or Cryogolem are beneficial.

**Checks and Counters**:

**Ground types**: Ground types naturally resist both of Slowton's STAB options, prevent it from pivoting with Volt Switch and threaten with a OHKO from their STAB moves, Jelliswine isn't bothered by Scald and has reliable recovery to constantly come into it across a match, but it has to be careful over Shadow Ball sets. Yacian-Crowned prevents it from recovering health with its ability while also being downright immune to both of its STABs; most Ground types (Including Yacian-Crowned) have to be caseful over Scald, however.

**Specially Bulky Pokémon**: Flygalge, Brontun and Galarian Arctres aren't strongly bothered about Slowton and can wear it down, although they are wide open to Volt Switch.

**Physical Attackers**: Slowton can be overwhelmed more easily on the physical side out of a lack of support from its Assault Vest and stats, leaving it to the mercy of attackers such as Lycanserker-Dusk, Stoudrago, Miemie and Cryogolem, although they may struggle to come in.
