Slaking's full power with Traunt?

Apprently people say Giga impact is much better on this king because of Traunt. Is that true?

And can you make a leftovers set with Giga Impact..?

The reason why Giga Impact is used on Slaking so frequently is because Truant will cause you to miss a turn anyway, so you might as well go for broke and use the most powerful STAB move for Slaking.

As for a set, Slaking is never suited for leftovers. It’s meant to attack, not tank considering it can’t do anything every other move.

That’s for a bulky Slaking. If you want a revenge set:

Giga Impact is good on Slaking since traunt makes it so it cant move every other turn anyway.

Giga Impact will destroy anything that doesnt resist it. Earthquake is for Rock and steel types while Fire Punch is for Coverage + Ferros and Scizors. Night Slash to deal with ghost types.
