It’s a pure Psychic type, so it’s weak to Ghost, Bug and Dark types. It has very few resistances, being Fighting and it’s own type, Psychic.
Top Counters
Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it. The figures in our database for DPS and TDO are calculated using Level 40 Pokémon with perfect IVs.

Conclusion
Galarian Slowpoke is easy to raid, with an evolution method that takes a little more effort than usual. Galarian Slowbro, it’s evolution, is an interesting pick in Great and Ultra league PvP. It hasn’t had an oppertunity to shine yet, but a great limited type cup for it has gotta happen eventually; a meta featuring Poison but not Psychic would be great for it! It also helps that Poison Jab got a solid buff with the Summer season.
Stay safe, trainers!
