Yes. Toxapex is much more minmaxed.

its gotten so bad that i even like using slowking more for the specs future sight
>greninja used dark pulse
It's a mix of Toxapex being better, Thunder Wave being nerfed, Paralysis being nerfed and Misty Terrain being a thing anyways oh also every Tapu fucks him silly.
Doesn't help that Smogonbird is also dead.
None of these anons get the full picture, so I'll help. Toxapex being good is a big part of slowbro's decline, but nobody's mentioned tapu koko, a fast pivot (something slowbro is supposed to stop) that shits on it, and tapu bulu and marowak (physical wallbreakers, things slowbro is supposed to stop) shit all over it. Then there's volcarona, zard y being better than x (stopping x was something slowbro was really good at, but you can't stop it if nobody uses it), super greninja bros, thunder punch + electric terrain mega medi, keldeo's shift from being top tier to just good, TANGROWTH, and z moves in general overwhelming its bulk.
