Deck Primer

Slaking hits hard but is hindered by its ability in the games. One of the strongest things you can do for Slaking is take its ability away. This deck aims to do just that. And then start hitting hard. Should be a fun time. Earthen Vessel is being considered for shoring up possible energy awkwardness but otherwise it should work decently well.

If you're trying to take away slaking's ability with team rocket's watchtower, then it also takes away the abilities of pidgeot ex, noctowl, and fan rotom, so when you play it, you lose most of your draw power. i would consider running more ionos and professor's researches for draw power under watchtower.
