Slowking (Japanese: ヤドキング Yadokingu) is a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

Biology

Physiology

Shellking

Shellder on Slowking's head

Slowking is a bipedal Pokémon with a backward facing Shellder latched onto its head. It is primarily pink, with a pale yellow muzzle and scaled belly. Its feet and hands each have a single clawed digit, while the hands also have a clawless thumb. Around its neck is a spiny ruff with alternating red and white stripes. The backward facing Shellder on its head has a spiral shape with two horns near the base. A red gem resides in the center of the Shellder.

Galarian Slowking's appearance is a result of item from the Crown Tundra. The main difference is that it has gained purple markings on its forehead and tail, the red-white spiny ruff is now dark and light purple and longer around its neck. Unlike Slowking's original appearance, the Shellder on its head has a more round off shape near the base of the crown, and now looking forward.

Behavior

Unlike Slowpoke and Slowbro, Slowking is much cleverer and royal. Shellder's bite releases venom into Slowpoke's brain, causing a chemical chain-reaction that unlocks a superior intelligence and extraordinary power. More venom is injected into Slowking every time it yawns. The more venom the Shellder releases, the more intelligent Slowking will become. However, if the Shellder on its head comes off, it will forget everything it has learned. Slowking's intelligence can match that of a human and it constantly attempts to learn more. Its inspiration and intuition are also highly developed, and Slowking is able to stay calm in any situation and plan situations with effective results.

In the anime, it can understand and speak the human language. According to The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide, it has such an easy-going personality that it is never stressed. Slowking is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found by the water's edge. It has been seen eating seaweed and drinking coconut milk. In Alola, Slowking occasionally matches wits with Oranguru by the beach.

Evolution

Slowking is one of the two evolved forms of Slowpoke. To obtain this Pokémon, trade Slowpoke while he/she holds King's Rock. In the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowking when wearing a King's Rock and having the rock bitten by a Shellder.

In Galar, it evolves from Galarian Slowpoke using an item found in The Crown Tundra. It is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowbro.

Trivia

  • In the anime, Slowking is one of the few Pokémon who talks like a human without telepathy, along with Team Rocket's Meowth.
  • It is said if the Shellder on Slowking's head is removed it will forget everything it has learned and revert to Slowpoke, in the same way Slowbro will revert to Slowpoke if the Shellder on its tail is removed. This has yet to be seen.
  • In Pokémon The Movie 2000 - The Power of One Slowking breaks the fourth wall by saying in reply to Team Rocket thinking no one saw them be good "Yeah they did, they are right there!" and looks towards the audience.
  • Along with Slowbro, it doesn't have to have a Shellder use Bite on itself in a Double Battle. Shellder can't even learn Bite.
  • Slowking is one of the 11 Generation II Pokémon that is an evolution of a Generation I Pokémon.
  • Slowking is probably one of the hardest Pokémon to get to finish the Isle of armour Pokédex.
    • The most efficient way to get Slowking is to trade the Kantonian Slowpoke Gift from The Diglett quest, which is equipped with the King’s Rock.

Etymology

Slowking is a combination of the words slow and king.
