Slowpoke Evolution Guide: Stats, Moves, Type, And Location

Slowpoke Evolution Guide: Stats, Moves, Type, And Location

One might expect a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon to have poise and prowess. You probably would not expect the beloved laid-back and almost comical vibe and appearance of Slowpoke. Despite its seemingly lazy demeanor, it holds significant potential for those trainers patient enough to unlock it. Its two potential evolutions, Slowbro and Slowking, each offer distinct advantages. Slowbro, which evolves either when a Slowpoke reachest level 37 or when Shellder clamps onto its tail, boasts an impressive physical defense. It makes for a full-on wall against physical attackers. On the other hand, Slowking has a more balanced stat distribution and can serve as a reliable special attacker. It evolves when a Slowpoke is traded while holding a King’s Rock – or when a Shellder snaps onto its head in the same situation. Additionally, Slowking is often noted for its increased intelligence and ability to learn a diverse set of moves.

Slowpoke is a Water/Psychic Pokémon that evolves into either Slowbro or Slowking.
