Slowking (Japanese: ヤドキング Yadoking) is a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon. It evolves from Slowpoke when traded while holding a King's Rock. It is one of Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Slowbro.

In Generation 8, Slowking was given a regional variant that is Poison/Psychic and evolves from Slowpoke via the Galarica Wreath.

Biology[]

Slowking is a bipedal Pokémon with a 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 Shellder on its head has a spiral shape with two horns near the base. A red gem resides in the center of the Shellder.

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 lives by the water's edge. It has been seen eating seaweed and drinking coconut milk.

For the Galarian version of Slowking, the Shellder has taken on a more sinister role. It now mind-controls the Slowpoke. Galarian Slowkings form cults with each other where they chant mysterious incantations, none of which involve calamari. Galarian Slowking also has a signature move: Eerie Spell.

Fanon appearances[]

St. Clair Publications[]

  • Slowking appears as a float in Poké-Floats, on Super Smash Stadium.
  • All canon Pokémon are available in Tropes vs. Women in Pokémon Training, including Slowking; however, neither version of Slowking can be obtained in the wild. Both forms of Slowking have a Mega Evolution in this game, achieved using a Slowkingite. Neither Pokémon's types change when Mega Evolving. Regular Slowking's ability changes to Primordial Sea, while Galarian Slowking's ability changes to Negative Zone.

Slowking
#199 Royal Pokémon

HT: ??? WT: ???

Slowpoke was thought to have been one of the dumbest Pokémon ever, but when a Shellder bit its head, it injected venom that unlocked the Slowpoke's "true" power. Its intelligence is on par with humans and it almost never gets angry.

Legend has it that the world will end in flooding should the Shellder fall off, as Slowking would then be unable to stop its Primordial Sea, having reverted back to a Slowpoke.

Trivia[]

  • Slowking is the only Pokémon with a catch rate of 70.
  • In the TCG, Slowking's Southern Islands card is the only card depicting a Pokémon introduced after Generation I to have a square evolution box, in Japan only. In English, the Southern Islands collection used the Neo-era designs, which, like all later card layouts, feature a circular evolution box.
  • The Shellder of Slowbro's Shiny form is gold, like a Shiny Shellder. This is not so for Shiny Slowking.
  • Slowking shares its category name with Pyroar. They are both known as the Royal Pokémon.
