Slowpoke Description

Slowpoke is a Water and Psychic-type Pokémon. It was originally named "Slowmo". Its current name simply refers to the general nature of the species. Slowbro, also present in the Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow titles, was the sole evolution of Slowpoke via gaining enough experience until the introduction of Slowking as an alternative evolution of Slowpoke since Pokémon Gold and Silver by trading it to other cartridges or consoles while it holds the "King's Rock" item.

Slowpoke resembles a hybrid of a salamander and a hippopotamus. Its body is thick in build and mostly light pink in color, while the tail's tip is white. Its snout is tan in color and rounded in shape, and its ears are curled. Each of its four legs possesses a single white claw. Its eyes appear to be vacant due to the species never concentrating on anything. Slowpoke's tail is long and narrow, and it is utilized by the Pokémon as a fishing lure. Its tail can break off often and is capable of growing back.

It is thought to be dimwitted and can take five seconds to react to pain. Pokédex entries state that it is very slow, inactive, and dopey, making it difficult to tell if it is awake or not.One of the Pokédex entries for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon states the belief that rain starts from a yawning Slowpoke.

The two evolutions differ from Slowpoke in part by the presence of a Shellder that latches to the tail in the case of Slowbro or the head in the case of Slowking. In series lore, Slowpoke evolve when bitten by the Pokémon Shellder, though Shellder are not needed to evolve Slowpoke in the mainline games despite their presence in its evolutions.

Slowpoke Tail and Team Rocket

Slowpoke Tails are thought to often break off naturally and regrow afterward. Slowpoke are harvested for their tails by an antagonistic faction called Team Rocket for profits in the Pokémon Gold and Silver titles and their remakes, but later games have normalized Slowpoke tails as delicacy items.
