Considering Palfin is basically slaking without truant, yeah probably. Palfin does need to switch out once to activate its effect, but that easy to do in singles, especially with flip turn. Palfin does have a better typing in water, a 60 power priority move, and slightly better special defense, but slaking has a much better hp stat of 150 compared to 100. Slaking also has a reliable healing move in slack off.
@@StarWalker-si4nm Fr, as long as he doesn't get too much speed it should be ok, worst case scenario every team is forced into having protect, which almost everyone already uses
I think the main arguement against the ursaluna comparison is that ursaluna *only* had a bigger attack stat but it doesnt have the longevity or speed slaking has. Id imagine a bulk up set with trailblaze, double edge, and rock slide would probably be amazing in OU.
I did my own small-scale analysis in your community post about this video, and i see we both came up with very similar answers in fairly different ways lol I dont pay much attention to Singles anymore, only VGC, but the little i do know about Gen 9 OU is the power level is very high and gives Slaking very few methods of fitting in without Truant. Yes, Normal isnt a bad type, but no Stab on anything but Double Edge is a big pain, and the most common Mons being Fighting types dont help either. I didnt even remember Zama was allowed in OU, but if Tusk cant deal with it then Zama will, it outspeeds by a longshot and will OHKO while taking minimal damage. Four move slot syndrome, the struggles of existing in an OU that actively wants to destroy you, most of the points you had i had found myself lol. The only thing we might disagree on is whether Slaking would be able to stay in OU. Seeing as it can be dealt with so easily, it might not be able to find a niche, aside from Bulk Up-Trailblaze sweeps. 100 Speed in OU now is unfortunately pitiful, where even in Gen 8 to an extent 100 was still good. But then the idea of it destroying UU might be a bit far. I mightve said it could get banned from there, but seeing as Ursaluna got banned and its significantly more threatening with Tera-Guts Facade, Slaking could make a niche for itself. But then the ways it could get completely blanked hit me, and that makes me think it could actually fall and get banned from RU instead. I know nothing about RU lol so i cant really say anything, but if Skeledirge is indeed in UU then Slaking might struggle just with that
Slaking isn't walled by Skarmory and Corviknight. You can break past them with Taunt to prevent Iron Defense and Roost, then slam them with Wild Charges, which has a significant chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock.
or it could just fire blast them with its base 95 sp atk. uninvested slaking does 61-71% to skarm and skarm cannot afford to invest in spdef. corv however only takes 51% max from the physdef set. or the slaking could just run orb or expert belt. or it could just be bulk up, slack off, body slam, knock, tera ghost.
Really interesting topic tbh. Dunno if I agree with your take tho, slaking's extra speed, ability to run a different item than flame orb effectively, and access to tera may be just what it needs to push it over t the edge. Though against it I think the biggest point is the removal of a consistent strong normal stab (return) thanks to dexit, so idk because of that
Heck no. I’ll stand by this for all time nerfing dark void was one of the best decisions GF did because Darkrai is the most annoying Pokémon in gens 4-6 ubers and i’m happy it doesn’t have 80% sleep anymore. If it didn’t have a cool and edgy design people would agree.
tbh these days there are so many multipliers flying around in OU that not getting any multipliers on your STAB besides the base 1.5x boost really really hurts. I think choiced sets would be pretty bad (getting locked into normal STAB or a coverage move with no STAB multiplier sucks and 160 attack at +0 against a neutral target doesn't hit *quite* as hard as you'd expect, eg scarf would be awkward). almost certainly a Palafin situation where the bulk up leftovers set is what breaks it
Great video! One of your better ones imo. But personally I do disagree. The comparison to Ursaluna doesn't work imo as it is so much slower, and most of the times requires flame orb, which does give it status immunity usually but limits its versatility. While 100 isn't considered amazing anymore it's still pretty solid, and there are quite a few mons in OU that have around the 100 range and do well offensively- Iron Crown, Gliscor (sd set), Tusk and more (and all of them have less than 100 base). Slaking would also have a variety of items it could use and would make it hard to predict, also I'm not sure if you mentioned it but Slaking gets knock off which Ursaluna does not. Scarf and band would be good but I think the set you underestimated is a bulk up set with taunt drain punch and stab move, mirroring the set used by Palafin to get banned (and using tera it could basically become Palafin, but I think tera fairy/ghost would be best). Instead of drain punch it could also of course use slack off and with a lot of spdef investment it could mirror Bloodmoon Ursaluna but much faster, though way worse ability and being physical. But I think the speed would make up for that fact. Non truant would probably take a bit of time to fully pop off but I think it would be banned in the end.
Very interesting topic. Keep it up you're going places I could see band slaking popping as an anti meta, but I think what could really differentiate it is bulky slack off set. Could see a fat sub stallbreaker working too. All it has over similar threats is the ability to sit there and be hard to break for fast mons, and also using speed to taunt. Tera poison bulk up could be a menace, or steel.
I can't imagine no ability slacking not going wild in ou. It's at least uubl. It seems just too solid to build around, it's got slack off and bulk up, it's amazing.
I feel like a retrain of gorilla tactics could work? Maybe idk. Maybe make a similar ability that precents the use of choice items with the ability? King kong: 50% attack boost but you're locked into one move and you cant use held items except maybe berries? Does that work thematically? I want slaking to work so bad. Hoenn is my favorite and my Emerald E4 team was slaking, shedinja, milotic, skarmory, tyranitar and metagross. Ive played RS so many timea i traded over the beldum from my copy of Ruby and a larvitar from Firered both at lvl 5 as my starters. I tried using the same team in gen 3 OU and it was like playing with 4.5 pokemon lol
It's always hard to predict what a pokémon could do but I feel like slacking wouldn't be that strong too, at least at first :x I despise how finch and the OU council are handling the tier, for me this Overused is like a mini UUbers, way too much broken shit and restriction in team building, so slacking in this environment maybe wouldn't feel that bad compared to like 10 other mons that I think should go lol Anyway, Choice sets are the first that comes to mind, and besides those I think that a boots set with Knock off and Ice beam for GLISCOR, tusk and lando could be nice, maybe low kick for gambit, you could fit taunt too, it's rly customizable Maybe a bulk up slack off set, with tera why not, or 3 atk slack off even to offset recoil I think knock off should be on every set, because having a normal type with basically no defensive utility needs to make progress at all cost when it comes in, jolly everytime too cuz tusk lando, then idk ! I would rly love to see slacking without truant now...
Slaking could make use of a bulk up set with Tera fire/ fairy bulk up drain punch/slack off double edge Knock off This would make it a monster that’ll be shrugging off physical attacks when it gets going and bulky on the special side if invested. Tera fire you can burn it or fairy to flip it’s weaknesses
Honestly with everything having a decent ability makes it or breaks it compared to decent stats nowadays imo. Being a normal doesn’t give you any super effective benefits with STAB so it doesn’t matter on that front. Hypothetically if Slaking was part fighting I guarantee it would be OU without a doubt with now a fighting STAB and some resistances (assuming it still had vital spirit).
This is a tough one. The lack of ability is still a serious negative, Slaking is still pretty vulnerable to getting burned/intimidated, base 100 speed isn't bad but it's not overwhelmingly fast, and there are walls that can stand up to it. Flamethrower could probably be used to break through skarm or corv, but it's still tough to fit it on the moveset. Slaking's stats could let it switch in on a lot of stuff, but being revenge killed by Great Tusk and Zama keeps it in check there. I imagine sticky webs or trailblaze could be what pushes slaking over the edge if it's deemed too powerful, that base 100 speed isn't the best thing in the world, but boosted base 100 speed is still horrifying on a mon with these stats. Healing is also really strong since its so bulky. It definitely has 4mss and isn't capable of just winning any match without support, but I think its OU at worst. Ursaluna would absolutely trade a bit of damage for an extra 50 base speed, so I think Slaking would be much better than Ursaluna.
Bulk up Double edge Drain Punch/earthquake Zen headbutt Tera Psychic/normal completely wipes Tusk and zama and probably destroys almost every physical attacker there is and Clear amulet can prevent any intimidate only counters there realistically are is burn (if your burn Pokémon doesn’t get 1 tapped) or a special attacker that can outspeed or survive a hit (while being able to get through that giant 160 base HP)
It'd probably be a good ou mon but likely not ban worthy. Mons like pult who can cripple it very quickly, banded isn't enough speed for it to do anything that many banded mons aren't already doing beating dozo is already done by tera dark roaring moon. Mons faster than it often have tools that can definitely deal with slaking. Mons like corviknight or skarmory can wall it, it's easy to widdle down as if you run scarf or banded you just lose in the long term, if you don't use scarf or band then you can't outspees speedier Mons that like to cripple you. I don't really think band is the way to go with this mon, it's just too slow. Banded ursaluna or flame orb ursaluna eventually just fell out of ou so bulk up and slack off are probably the best you have because you got incredible sustain and great damage but you still run into the speed and wall breaking problem. Slaking could make for a mid to low tier set up sweeper in ou. Tera normal double edge after a bulk up one or two shots most of the tier. It'd likely be better than ursaluna thanks to it's recovery and higher speed while not suffering constant chip from flame orb. It wouldn't be great in ou maybe not even good but like superior it's too good to be in uu. You might not see it much in ou but it's not going down to uu.
@@OmarCasillas-zz8enmost mons don't use clear amulet and neither would slaking. It prefers not taking chip from hazards and would probably use left overs to boost it's longevity or heavy duty boots. Maybe scarf or band but I don't think either of those options would do much in ou.
Honestly I think Slaking would be a solid UUBL Pokemon, It basically has the same stat spread as Palafin but none of the things that made Palafin a ban worthy threat (One Of the best types in the game, Reliable Priority and flipturn to keep momentum) However, with the way OU has been torn apart by Pokemon who are far weaker than Slaking, 100 Base Speed being a absurd speed tier for something so strong, and, on the account of being a pre gen 4 normal type, it having a move for any situation (Shadow Slaw for Ghouldengo, Fire Punch and Ice punch for Skarmory and Gliscor and other coverage moves such as EQ) I can see Slaking being used on hyper offense teams, cause this thing wrecks everything that doesn’t Resist Normal with Double Edges and Returns
I think the difference between Slaking and Ursaluna is that Slaking is much faster. Sure 100 speed might look slow in gen 9, but with its titanic 150 hp and 100 defense, it can set up and heal with slackoff. Sure it isn’t as strong as Chi-Yu or Chien-Pao, but its massive bulk definitely keeps it out of ubers.
It reminds me of preactivated palafin more than anything tbh, just with no prio and worse typing. Itd function similarly with the fat bulk up set or a cb breaker set.
I think an interesting analysis would be if Slaking was given another bad ability, but not as bad as Truant, like Stall. Slaking prob wouldn't have vital spirit as it goes against its theming (being lazy)
Not really related, but I found out that Cetitan learns Entrainment and has Sheer Force Too bad Truant can't be overwritten most of the time, only swapped I say this cause I thought that could make that a solid core and not just a gimmick But no, power creep is scary
No ability Slaking is likely to be banned from OU imo but it would be close, set variety and tera might juuuust push it over the edge. It'd be basically normal type Gouging Fire imo.
slaking tpunches skarm and corv, and you don't need to beat every ou mon, if the opp brings corv/skarm play the game around it by trying to force it out, chip it down and then kill it with any slaking moves
Kyurem Black is proof that it does not matter without the movepool going with it. Slacking does have good movepool though even if only has a normal stab to hold him back

I would have liked to have seen AAA brought up here considering its ban from that tier.
Yeah the reason I didn’t is because I feel like AAA is pretty far removed from gen 9 ou so it didn’t seem to relevant
Yeah and they tend to ban things they might be a problem instead of things proven to be a problem @@Chuxsss
Yes guts slaking
Talking about slaking in AAA vs talking about slaking with vital spirit is a different story
No ability vs best ability in the game is a huge difference. Vital spirit in a tier where sleep is banned is completely useless
your fit genuinely goes hard ngl
also yea no slaking would be genuinely be almost broken or just over the limit of being too good

dont be hyperbolic. mega ray isnt a stall pokemon, Finch wouldnt let that slide in
