Slowking

Japanese: ヤドキング Yadoking

It’s called “the sage of the sea.” It engages in battles of wits with Oranguru, but the result is usually a draw.

Slowking are dual-type Pokémon. They are both Water-type and Psychic-type Pokémon.

They were first introduced during Generation II. They evolve from Slowpoke when they are traded while holding a King’s Rock. They are one of Slowpoke’s final forms, the other one being Slowbro.

They have another Regional form in Galar, which is Poison-type and Psychic-type. They were introduced in Pokémon Sword and Shield’s 1.3.0 patch. They evolve from Galarian Slowpoke when they are exposed to a Galarica Wreath. They are one of Slowpoke’s final forms, the other one being Galarian Slowbro.

Characteristics

Slowking are large Pokémon with a Shellder latched onto their heads. They weigh around 76.5 pounds or 175.3 pounds. They are 2 meters tall with a Medium Fast leveling rate. They are pink with a yellow muzzle and a scaled belly.

Their feet and hands have a single clawed digit. Their hands also have clawless thumbs. They have a spiny ruff around their alternating red and white stripes. The Shellder on its head has a spiral-shaped body with two horns near its base. A red gem resides inside the Shellder. Their eyes are visible on the back.

Shellder’s bite releases venom into their brain, causing a chemical reaction that unlocks superior intelligence and extraordinary powers. In Galar, this bite causes a different reaction and causes the Slowking to take a new appearance.

They have purple spots on their tails and paws with a long black collar. Their intelligence is said to have evolved to the point of psychic powers. They even put other Psychic abilities to shame. Their Shellder is often controlled by them as well. They are the only Pokémon known that can use the Eerie move Spell.
