  • Competitive Pokemon Singles has not been kind to Slaking.
    The ability "Truant" is extremely exploitable, causing Slaking to be inactive every other turn.
    However, the players BluesEnergy and ABR have proven that Slaking might just be better than we all thought in Gen 3 OU.

    Some will never figure out how to get Sudowoodo in Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet. But famous player Jim Cool is well aware of the Best Sudowoodo Moveset in Competitive, and even how to Sudowoodo Shiny Farm. Many aren't and never will be. That's just the unfortunate reality of the world.
    Arceus exists.

    Rumor has it that Slaking may have been holding an Amulet Coin, and thus could be entitled to a whopping $2000.00.

    I hope that the next time you show off the great ape, you properly represent him. Slaking has no shame for its truant ability and his "wasted" turns. It's actually a power play; a mind game ability. You ought to show a few pivotal moments of his underappreciated ability, as it is terrifying to be on the recieving end of a Pokemon voluntarily burning its turn and knowing it will still win the game. Slacking wants us to trust him, because he is really the work-life balance ape. I hope to see a slacking only tournament from you someday.

    The best way to do this is by using the Jubilife Village shops, as there you can buy actual food! But what would Slaking like?
    Most of Slaking's dex entries mention it absolutely LOVES grass and the closest to that is Hearty Grains.
    If his Trainer decides to cook it, Slaking enjoys himself a nice toast. A toast to victory!
    EDIT: What else would our friend buy?
