Slowpoke • Generation VIII Pokédex

Scarlet/Violet support is in the works!

Thank you for your interest in having the Marriland Pokédex updated to support Pokémon Scarlet & Violet! This has been something that I've been wanting to update for awhile, and it is my current project to implement support for the new games and The Teal Mask DLC. Thank you for your patience as I work on this over the coming week or two!

Slowpoke's Detailed Stats

Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Slowpoke's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Slowpoke's Nature.

By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Slowpoke is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.

Where to Find Slowpoke in Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl

If you're looking for where to find Slowpoke, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Slowpoke in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)

Special Ways to Get Slowpoke

Given as a gift on the Isle of Armor (DLC) after locating 10 Alolan Diglett on the isle.

Notes About Slowpoke

In Pokémon Sword/Shield, it can only be bred by having a normal Slowpoke, Slowbro, or Slowking hold an Everstone Everstone.
Location information on where to find Slowpoke in Pokémon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl will be coming to the Marriland Pokédex in a future update! Thank you for your patience!

Pokédex Entries for Slowpoke

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

Sword
Slow-witted and oblivious, this Pokémon won't feel any pain if its tail gets eaten. It won't notice when its tail grows back, either.
Shield
When this Pokémon's tail is soaked in water, sweetness seeps from it. Slowpoke uses this trait to lure in and fish up other Pokémon.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

Sun
Its long tail often breaks off. It doesn't really feel any pain, though, and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn't particularly bothered.
Moon
Alolan home cooking involves drying Slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew.
Ultra Sun
There are some places where Slowpoke is worshiped because of a long-standing belief that whenever Slowpoke yawns, it rains.
Ultra Moon
Although their tails, which fall off naturally, can easily be found lying around, they're a precious ingredient for cooking.

Generation 6 Pokédex Entries

X
It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. It is good at fishing with its tail.
Y
It lazes vacantly near water. If something bites its tail, it won't even notice for a whole day.
Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire
Slowpoke uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river. However, this Pokémon often forgets what it's doing and often spends entire days just loafing at water's edge.

Generation 5 Pokédex Entries

Black White Black 2 White 2
Although slow, it is skilled at fishing with its tail. It does not feel pain if its tail is bitten.

Generation 4 Pokédex Entries

Diamond Pearl Platinum
