Slowbro Pokédex entries

8 generations · newest first
Generation VIII2 entries
Sword

Slowpoke became Slowbro when a Shellder bit on to its tail. Sweet flavors seeping from the tail make the Shellder feel as if its life is a dream.

Shield

Being bitten by a Shellder shocked this Pokémon into standing on two legs. If the Shellder lets go, it seems Slowbro will turn back into a Slowpoke.

Generation VII5 entries
Sun

It spaces out while gazing at the sea. With Shellder’s poison flowing through its body, it becomes even spacier.

Moon

Whenever Shellder bites down hard on its tail, it gives Slowbro a flash of inspiration...which it forgets a moment later.

Ultra Sun

Spacing out is basically all it does. It turns back into Slowpoke if its tail, along with Shellder, breaks off.

Ultra Moon

Shellder, in its greed to suck out more and more sweetness from Slowbro’s tail, has metamorphosed into a spiral-shaped shell.

Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee

Lives lazily by the sea. If the Shellder on its tail comes off, it becomes a Slowpoke again.

Generation VI3 entries
X

An attached Shellder won’t let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail.

Y

When a Slowpoke went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a Shellder. That made it evolve into Slowbro.

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

Slowbro’s tail has a Shellder firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.

Generation V1 entry
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the Shellder on its tail bites down.

Generation IV3 entries
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum

Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the SHELLDER on its tail bites down.

HeartGold

If the tail-biting SHELLDER is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary SLOWPOKE.

SoulSilver

Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to SHELLDER’s seeping poison.

Generation III4 entries
Ruby, Sapphire

SLOWBRO’s tail has a SHELLDER firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This causes SLOWBRO to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.

Emerald

Its tail has a SHELLDER firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This forces it to reluctantly swim and catch prey.

FireRed

When a SLOWPOKE went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a SHELLDER. That made it evolve into SLOWBRO.

LeafGreen

The SHELLDER that latches onto SLOWPOKE’s tail is said to feed on the host’s leftover scraps.

Generation II3 entries
