Okay! Here it goes! 
I am no speedster, but I don't have to be
I'll probably hit you before you hit me
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first
I can shield myself from your bouts
And watch as you slowly die out
You'll see from the grin on my face
Slow and deadly wins this race

Is it Banette, or more specifically mega Banette? this is probably super off
I am no speedster, but I don't have to be (base 75 is nothing to brag about)
I'll probably hit you before you hit me (Prankster)
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst (Not quite sure about this one)
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first (Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and Infestation?)
I can shield myself from your bouts (Protect)
And watch as you slowly die out
You'll see from the grin on my face (It has a zipper as a smile)
Slow and deadly wins this race (Pretty deadly imo)
By the way, that riddle was extremely creepy.

You're kinda on the right track, but no, it isn't Banette.
Erron Black
The Outlaw
may be a total long shot but is it Wobuffet?
I am no speedster, but I don't have to be: Slow af also the Patient Pokemon
I'll probably hit you before you hit me: It's moves are solely based on counters.
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst: Destiny Bond will take the enemy out with em'
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first: It's got Mirror Coat which reflects Toxic, Will-O-Wisp, and Sticky Web.
I can shield myself from your bouts: Safeguard + Mirror Coat
And watch as you slowly die out: Wobbuffet is a very stall based Pokemon.
You'll see from the grin on my face: It's always got that stupid grin on it's face.
Slow and deadly wins this race: Summarizes the whole thing basically.

No, it's not Wobbuffet, either.
I'll let a couple more tries go out, and then I'll probably add another clue.

Hmm... this whole thing is making me think of either a Toxic staller or a Perish trapper...
I'm going to guess Sableye for now.
I am no speedster, but I don't have to be - Sableye is pretty slow, but...
I'll probably hit you before you hit me - Prankster allows it to hit first with status moves.
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst - Not sure... Maybe Foul Play or some other attacking move?
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first - Not sure
I can shield myself from your bouts - Protect/Toxic stall?
And watch as you slowly die out - It can learn Mean Look to trap its opponent and stall it out
You'll see from the grin on my face - Has quite an evil-looking grin (especially its Mega form)
Slow and deadly wins this race

Not Sableye, but some of you are on the right track.
Here's another clue:
I rotate in place, awaiting your move
Only to rock back and launch foward
Right before you do
Forgive me if I take too much time killing you
You sweepers have short memory
But my laugh, oh! My laugh!
...It sounds like Hell's machinery

Not Ferrothorn. Your last guess was closer.
Helio Breaker

Though I'm probably way off, is it a form of rotom? Specifically Mow rotom?
I am no speedster, but I don't have to be
I'll probably hit you before you hit me
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first Mow rotom is only weak against these 3 types
I can shield myself from your bouts has protect
And watch as you slowly die out toxic and will-o-wisp
You'll see from the grin on my face
Slow and deadly wins this race Specifically rotom has a strange cry and a huge grin as a lawnmower

Clever analysis, but it's not Rotom.
Have you taken a look at the second clue?

The only other thing I can think of is Spiritomb
I am no speedster, but I don't have to be only 35 base speed
I'll probably hit you before you hit me Sucker punch and shadow sneak
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst Foul play and pain split
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first Toxic, Will-o-wisp and infestation?
I can shield myself from your bouts Protect/substitute
And watch as you slowly die out
You'll see from the grin on my face Has an evil grin
Slow and deadly wins this race
I rotate in place, awaiting your move It's sprite slowly spins but the keystone doesn't
Only to rock back and launch foward This line might refer to the keystone itself as being a rock
Right before you do
Forgive me if I take too much time killing you
You sweepers have short memory
But my laugh, oh! My laugh!
...It sounds like Hell's machinery It's cry actually sounds creepy and almost robotic
That's the only other thing I can think of

Sorry it isn't.
But remember, you have to provide a reason for your guess.
EDIT: This totally did NOT apply to Helio's post! I got ninja'd!

I am no speedster, but I don't have to be: nowhere near the fastest mon out there
I'll probably hit you before you hit me: autotomize, shadow sneak
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst:
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first: immune to poison
I can shield myself from your bouts: literately part shield
And watch as you slowly die out: between kings shield and protect plus immunity to sandstorm aegislash can be a great staller.
You'll see from the grin on my face: even though it doesn't actually have a face i believe it looks quite creepy

Sorry, not Aegislash.
I'm going to add in a third clue, but I'll also include the first two with it.
First clue!
I am no speedster, but I don't have to be
I'll probably hit you before you hit me
Even if I don't, you'll still see my worst
Pick your Poison, or Bug, or Fire, whichever comes first
I can shield myself from your bouts

Second clue!
I rotate in place, awaiting your move
Only to rock back and launch foward
Right before you do
Forgive me if I take too much time killing you
You sweepers have short memory
But my laugh, oh! My laugh!
...It sounds like Hell's machinery
Third clue!
People say I'm overpowered
But my method is simply genius
I used to be unstoppable
But they insisted on giving me a weakness

Oh! I totally missed it!
YES! This is it! I'm so sorry for missing this. I should've checked for ninjas.
I must say, though, the rock back portion is a reference to its physical attack animation, which is itself a follow up of the second line of the first clue, Shadow Sneak.
Well, you got it! You're up next, Helio!
