It depends on if Slowking wants Crocodile's pants

Rain Dance is actually super in character for the Slowpoke family. It's a plot point in the anime.

The fact that Slowking's intelligence section is basically empty is lowkey insulting

"Slowking undertakes research every day in an effort to solve the mysteries of the world. However, this Pokémon apparently forgets everything it has learned if the Shellder on its head comes off."
"Being bitten by Shellder gave it intelligence comparable to that of award-winning scientists."
"A poisonous bite reacted with its system, blessing it with the enhanced intellect of a genius. It has full control of its psychic powers."
"This Pokémon is so famed for its intellect that a proverb still persists in some regions: "When in doubt, ask Slowking.""

What does Crocodile start with? Slowking can use Nasty Plot to boost his AP, Curse to boost his AP and Dura at the cost of Speed, Amnesia to boost Dura, Growl to lower Crocodile's AP, Water Pulse and Water Gun are going to hurt and Slack Off to heal.

Crocodile could still use his arsenal of sand even if he is wet, the only affected by being soaked is his intangibility like PaChi2 said. As long as Crocodile touch the water substance with his hands, he can easily absorb it with no effort.
As for Rain Dance, I don't know if that will be affected as it was heavily implied that Crocodile was able to hold back the rain from Alabasta.
Crocodile has two deadly weapons in his arsenal, his poisonous hook which can easily melt rock with a touch and his dehydration ability. If either of these hit Slowpoke, it will be hard for Slowpoke to recover from.

Idk if draining water from Slowking's body would work anyway given Slowking can just create water from itself with moves like Hydro Pump.

I mean, he needs to recover the water from his whole body, including his brain.

What stops Slowking with its smarts from telekinetically holding Mr. Sandman in place, preventing him from shapeshifting, spreading out, & approaching? Confusion & Psychic are both telekinetic attacks. (Also, neither of these characters have a justification for their Lifting Strengths, if that's relevant.)
Also, Disable & Swagger might be helpful, and what about Yawn to incapacitate?
Slowking also outranges, with "tens of kilometers with most attacks" versus Crocodile for... making sandstorms that cover cities? Isn't that Environmental Destruction? Still a range feat, but not a helpful long range offense.
Lastly, SBA says
Preparation time: None. That means there is no time between the character knowing there is going to be some battle and the point they may start killing each other. They are, in a single instant, transported to the battlefield from their everyday activities, equipped with their equipment, transformed to the character version they battle in and given the correct state of mind. In the same instant the battle starts and they may attack each other. They are assumed to not be surprised or disorientated from the sudden start.
Location: Central Park, New York City. The location can be left during the course of battle. If extreme advantages are generated via this location to one side, a balanced alternative should be discussed in the thread.

"The geography of New York City is characterized by its coastal position at the meeting of the Hudson River and the Atlantic Ocea in a naturally sheltered harbor."
Hey, how far is Central Park from the ocean? Does real world sea water affect Devil Fruit users the same as One Piece sea water?
That said, I doubt it's likely Slowking would try to chuck Crocodile into the ocean; It's a genius sure, but how would it know about it? I doubt Slowking has had enough time in the Real World to binge watch One Piece.
Would Crocodile be conceited/brave/foolish/sadistic enough to mention his weakness to what he might think is an animal?

Croc's sandstorm covered a city starting from a 5km plateau, so they start at 4km where both have the same range.
Sea water is sea water. There's nothing suggesting that OP Earth's water is somewhat different from RL water (except for the crazy weather that isn't a water property alone).
No, he won't say such a thing. He didn't say it to Luffy when Croc stabbed him. Luffy noticed that by himself.
But if it's in-character for Slowking to use Rain Dance, that'll null Croc's intangibility. He seems taking this battle more times than Crocodile, tbh. Croc could do lot of damage, but in this fight the rain handicap is too much for him and even without that the rest of the abilities might screw him.

equalizing speed for this fight is kind of a problem, i mean slowking's whole gimmick is that hes slow but has moves that compensate for that. kind of defeats the purpose of this fight.

Slowking's got Relativistic reactions tho, bro.
