You've also been truant about the completion of your history project, young man. I will be having a long talk with your mother about how we need to take away all your electronic gadgets that you spend so much time on! Make me proud, son.
With the standard team structures of Ubers, I see slaking heavily struggling with spikes and steel types needed to check DEO-A, but slaking being able to break through would-be checks like lugia, meta, and forretress that would hinder DEO-A otherwise. Especially with CB sets it’d be a good mid-game breaker especially since gengar is not very popular in the tier. Definitely wouldn’t suggest using a Magneton in Ubers to beat skarm since that slot could be an espeed rayquaza, a different slaking check, the opportunity cost to run mag for steels is much steeper in Ubers than it is in OU to the point that mag is way too matchup fishy. Slaking even with silk scarf does very serviceable damage with return and I see it being very problematic against non-resists. This was a cool video topic!
If he loses truant he behaves like a normal, ability-less, Pokémon. In modern generates the neutralizing gas ability, which turns all abilities off (except the critical ones like stance change Iirc) can fix both truant and slow start.
to give some context: Slaking without traunt has superior base calcs in XY Ubers than Regigigas, Ursaluna, and prime Mega Kangaskhan. Slaking genuinely makes Snorlax look like a lazy bum lol
Having 100 speed in ubers is actually so cracked
I think what really makes him crazy is having strength and bulk in combination a reliable healing in the form of slack off.

just to point out , in gen3 slaking hyperbeam with a choiceband does more than 70 % to standard skarmory lmao
Can someone please tell me what happens if it gets hit with like a simple beam and his ability changes? Is that even possible?

Its a meme strat in doubles to replace its ability or negate it

now make a video using neutralizing gas weezing with regigigas and slaking:)
You're BKC#1Fan? I think I've faced you on gen 3 ou ladder a couple of times in the past few days while spamming an ABR VR inspired team.
Choice Band Slaking is goated in Battle Frontier. Sure OHKO for most enemy leads, then switch out to boomers or mean look + perish song-ers.
short answer:
broken
u should make your videos in 4:3. don't ask why just trust the vision
Unlike Slaking I'm early to the video
Spoiler Alert: Better
