Slowking

Gold It has incredible intellect and intuition. Whatever the situation, it remains calm and collected.
Silver When its head was bitten, toxins entered SLOWPOKE’s head and unlocked an extraordinary power.
Crystal Every time it yawns, SHELLDER injects more poison into it. The poison makes it more intelligent.
Ruby
Sapphire
SLOWKING undertakes research every day in an effort to solve the mysteries of the world. However, this POKéMON apparently forgets everything it has learned if the SHELLDER on its head comes off.
FireRed When its head was bitten, toxins entered SLOWPOKE’s head and unlocked an extraordinary power.
LeafGreen It has incredible intellect and intuition. Whatever the situation, it remains calm and collected.
Emerald It undertakes research every day to solve the mysteries of the world. However, it apparently forgets everything if the SHELLDER on its head comes off.

Alpha Sapphire
Slowking undertakes research every day in an effort to solve the mysteries of the world. However, this Pokémon apparently forgets everything it has learned if the Shellder on its head comes off.
Sun A poisonous bite reacted with its system, blessing it with the enhanced intellect of a genius. It has full control of its psychic powers.
Moon This Pokémon is so famed for its intellect that a proverb still persists in some regions: “When in doubt, ask Slowking.”
Ultra Sun It’s constantly coming up with new ideas that would change the world, but as soon as it hits upon a new idea, it forgets it.
Ultra Moon It’s called “the sage of the sea.” It engages in battles of wits with Oranguru, but the result is usually a draw.
Sword Miraculously, this former Slowpoke’s latent intelligence was drawn out when Shellder poison raced through its brain.
Shield Slowking can solve any problem presented to it, but no one can understand a thing Slowking says.
Brilliant Diamond
Shining Pearl
Being bitten by Shellder gave it intelligence comparable to that of internationally recognized scientists.
Scarlet When its head was bitten, toxins entered Slowpoke’s head and unlocked an extraordinary power.
Violet It has incredible intellect and intuition. Whatever the situation, it remains calm and collected.

Galarian Slowking

Sword A combination of toxins and the shock of evolving has increased Shellder’s intelligence to the point that Shellder now controls Slowking.
Shield While chanting strange spells, this Pokémon combines its internal toxins with what it’s eaten, creating strange potions.
