Slowking vs Slowbro: Whose stronger?

What's their difference in max CP? Whose a better prestiger? Whose a better defender?

What attacks should I be looking for in these Pokemon with the new changes? Are either of them a viable Gym defender worth dust? I have over 1,000 slowpoke candies so I want to know if I should just burn through them for XP or actually invest in a Slowbro or Slowking.

I also have the same question regarding Politoed vs. Poliwrath if anyone has the answer to that question.

Thanks!!

Since both Slowpoke evolutions have the same base stats and therefore max cp, it comes down to move set. I give the advantage to Slowbro for having multiple bar charge moves. Both can learn moves that type counter, but do not benefit from STAB (Slowking - Fireblast, Slowbro - Ice Beam)

Use this site. You can see the max cp of pokemon on the pages. Viability as gym defenders will come down to your area. If it isn't a problem sticking a 2100 cp pokemon in a gym, they can be great defenders. I prefer Slowbro with ice beam for this job...however, if the gym cut-off is 2400 or 2500 cp, they are no good as defenders.
