Well, do you think that the Slugma Evolution can suffice your needs in the game after going through its weakness, Moveset, stats and more? If yes then you should run down to the Pokemon official page for Slugma Evolution!
But if still, you think that you may find some better Moveset, stats and less unhealthy weakness with the help of evolution other than of Slugma, then Herald Journalism has information stocked for that purpose.
