Pokédex entries

Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen

The Shellder that latches onto Slowpoke's tail is said to feed on the host's leftover scraps.

Pokémon Yellow

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

Pokémon Gold

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

Pokémon Silver

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

Pokémon Crystal

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

Pokémon Ruby and 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.

Pokémon 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.

Pokémon FireRed

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

Trivia

Slowbro is one of the few 'Bonded Pokémon' in the Pokemon world.

Origin

Slowbro's shell and lifestyle are somewhat similar to hermit crabs. Slowbro's appearance may also be based on a hippopotomus.

Name origin

Slowbro's name is a combonation of slow and bro, short for brother. It may just be used in a general sense, in the same way someone would say "hey, brother!" It could also refer to the brotherly relationship shared by the combined form of Slowpoke and Shellder.

Yadoran may be taken to mean 宿らん, to not lodge/dwell. It is also possible that the yado comes from 宿借り yadokari, hermit crab, or 宿主 yadonushi, (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 donkan means thickheaded or stolid.
