---|---|
Yellow | Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time. |
Gold | It lazes vacantly near water. If something bites its tail, it won’t even notice for a whole day. |
Silver | A sweet sap leaks from its tail’s tip. Although not nutritious, the tail is pleasant to chew on. |
Crystal | It is always so absent-minded that it won’t react, even if its flavorful tail is bitten. |
Ruby Sapphire | SLOWPOKE uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river. However, this POKéMON often forgets what it’s doing and often spends entire days just loafing at water’s edge. |
FireRed | It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. It is good at fishing with its tail. |
LeafGreen | Incredibly slow and dopey. It takes five seconds for it to feel pain when under attack. |
Emerald | It catches prey by dipping its tail in water at the side of a river. But it often forgets what it is doing and spends entire days just loafing at water’s edge. |

Omega Ruby Alpha Sapphire | Slowpoke uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river. However, this Pokémon often forgets what it’s doing and often spends entire days just loafing at water’s edge. |
Sun | Its long tail often breaks off. It doesn’t really feel any pain, though, and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn’t particularly bothered. |
Moon | Alolan home cooking involves drying Slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew. |
Ultra Sun | There are some places where Slowpoke is worshiped because of a long-standing belief that whenever Slowpoke yawns, it rains. |
Ultra Moon | Although their tails, which fall off naturally, can easily be found lying around, they’re a precious ingredient for cooking. |
Let's Go Pikachu Let's Go Eevee | Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time. |
