Slowking (Japanese: ヤドキング, HepburnYadokingu) (SLOW-king[1]) is a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II. It has a Galarian Form introduced in Generation VIII that is a Poison/Psychic type.

Biology

Physiology

Johtonian Form

Shellking

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 Form

Galarian Slowking

Galarian Slowking's appearance is a result of an 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 Johtonian Slowking's appearance, the Shellder on its head has a more round off shape near the base of the crown with Shellder covering up more of its head. A green gem resides in the center of the Shellder.

Behavior

Johtonian Form

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 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. As seen in Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown! / Slowking's Crowning!, if the crown were to land on a different creature's head, the new wearer starts to act strangely until the crown is removed.

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.

Galarian Form

A Shellder bite set off a reaction between the chemicals secreted by Galarian Slowpoke's brain and the Galarica particles inside its body, causing Slowpoke to gain the Poison type when evolving. This has also caused the Shellder's intelligence to massively increase, giving it psychic powers to control the Slowking.

Galarian Slowking have been observed uttering incantations to communicate with each other, and also chanting mysterious spells when using moves in battle. However, it is yet to be fully understood what Slowking are actually saying. While chanting, they will combine these substances with its own toxins to create a variety of different brews. These concoctions are frequently used to defend Galarian Slowking from foes, inducing a variety of effects ranging from mild indigestion to full-on paralysis and fainting upon ingestion or contact. However, these Pokémon have also been known to brew palliative potions for sick Pokémon and travelers that they take pity on. Galarian Slowking are very curious when it comes to new compounds and are eager to try mixing them together into novel tinctures; they have been known to test out these unknown brews on hapless passerby.

Evolution

Slowking is one of the two evolved forms of Slowpoke, the other being Slowbro. Kantonian Slowpoke evolves into Johtonian Slowking when being traded while holding a King's Rock.

Galarian Slowking evolves from Galarian Slowpoke using a Galarica Wreath. Like Johtonian Slowking, it is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowbro.

    Minor

    Trivia

    • In the anime, Slowking is one of the few Pokémon who talks like a human without telepathy, along with Team Rocket's Meowth.
    • In the anime, Slowpoke evolves into Slowking when wearing a King's Rock and having the rock bitten by a Shellder.
      • 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. However, in PJ026, the Shellder on Slowking's head is removed, this didn't cause Slowking to devolve back into Slowpoke: it remained in its current form.
    • Slowking is one of the 11 Generation II Pokémon that is an evolution of a Generation I Pokémon.
    • Prior to the introduction of Munkidori in Generation IX, Galarian Slowking and Galarian Slowbro are the only Pokémon with a Poison/Psychic type combination.
    • The Galarian form of Slowking's pre-evolution is the only single-type Pokémon that gains a secondary type upon evolution, and that the secondary type becomes the primary type.
    • Despite having king in its name, Slowking can be male or female.

    Origin

    Slowking, just like Slowpoke and Slowbro appears to be based on semi-aquatic mammals such as hippopotamuses and otters. It also resembles a king with the Shellder resembling a crown and its neck tufts resembling a ruff.

    Galarian Slowking appears to be based on witch doctors or wizards, now with its Shellder crown resembling a warlock's hat and its tuft resembling a robe, clothing often depicted on warlocks.

    Etymology

    Slowking is a combination of the words slow and king.
