How to Evolve
LGPE Slowbro Best Moveset
Mega Slowbro locks 180 Defense with AbilityShell Armor blocking critical hits, creating something nearly indestructible on the physical side. Without the Mega, 100 Sp. Atk at 30 Speed means the moveset trades last but hits respectably through Water/Psychic TermStab. The Mega is where the defensive identity becomes real.

Slowbro Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee Guide
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, Slowbro works as a wallbreaker with 590 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee for the right team. Scald with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, yes. Mega Slowbro is the evolved form, sitting at 690 BST. Big power spike over base Slowbro (590). Equip the Mega Stone and it transforms in battle.
In Let's Go Pikachu & Eevee, Slowbro's biggest threats include Jolteon (Electric), Exeggutor (Grass), and Scyther (Bug), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Ghost and Dark-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. At base 30 Speed, Slowbro won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Shell Armor is the go-to ability for Slowbro. It protects against critical hits. It's Slowbro's only ability.
Slowbro is a special attacker with base 130 Sp. Atk. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 30 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Game Availability
