Slowpoke Pokédex Entries

  • Red, Blue:Incredibly slow and dopey. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack.
  • Yellow:Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time.
  • Gold:It lazes vacantly near water. If something bites its tail, it won’t even notice for a whole day.
  • Silver:A sweet sap leaks from its tail’s tip. Although not nutritious, the tail is pleasant to chew on.
  • Crystal:It is always so absent-minded that it won’t react, even if its flavorful tail is bitten.
  • Ruby, 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.
  • FireRed:It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. It is good at fishing with its tail.
  • LeafGreen:Incredibly slow and dopey. It takes five seconds for it to feel pain when under attack.
  • Emerald:It catches prey by dipping its tail in water at the side of a river. But it often forgets what it is doing and spends entire days just loafing at water’s edge.

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee:Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time.
  • 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.
  • Brilliant Diamond, Shining Pearl:Although slow, it is skilled at fishing with its tail. It does not feel pain if its tail is bitten.
  • Scarlet:It is incredibly slow and dopey. It takes five seconds for it to feel pain when under attack.
  • Violet:It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. It is good at fishing with its tail.
  • Sword:Although this Pokémon is normally zoned out, its expression abruptly sharpens on occasion. The cause for this seems to lie in Slowpoke’s diet.
  • Shield:Because Galarian Slowpoke eat the seeds of a plant that grows only in Galar, their tails have developed a spicy flavor.
