Conf + WP Slowbro

Does it worth to spend stardust on power him up?

I always get that frigging moveset... Don't get one with Psychic or IB.

Thanks.

I dont think so. you see, for attacking this moveset is useless, and for defense ice beam gives more coverage and psychic give you more damage, so it kind of suck.

After the CP change there is no reason to even power up ANY Slowbro anymore, as much as it hurts to say. I have a 15-11-13 C-IB Slowbro at Lvl 33.5, he was my favorite defender by far, while he is now useless, so I didnt power him up any further...

Slowbro is not usuless... Just not top defender anymore.. Keep puting him in gyms that he will cause trouble to attacker.. I think I would use jolteon on him.

As always, depends. Water Pulse is a fine defensive move, one that attackers might not bother dodging, so even better. As was mentioned, it currently doesn't give much more coverage. Forward thinking though, it would give both Tyranitar and Houndoom something to look out for, and I would attack slowbro in a heartbeat with either of those if slowbro doesn't have water moves. So I wouldn't transfer him, but I might not power him up just yet.

This. Water Pulse could very well be the best charge move on Slowbro next gen because of the relevance Tyranitar and (to a lesser extent) Houndoom will have as attackers. They both resist psychic-type attacks as dark-type pokémon, and also attack super effectively into Slowbro with dark-type moves. This means they will most likely be used against Slowbro, and WP will then be the best possible coverage. Good thinking by Guacamoyo, definitely keep the Slowbro.

i powered up my con/wp slowbro. He's the only one i found with good ivs so far. wp does get stab which ice beam doesn't, so that might give it the edge in some match ups, and i wouldn't personaly attack a slow bro with grass anyway because of the dual poison typing making confusion se. wp, i think, does pretty ok, that said con/psy is what you want really.
