Slowbro (Japanese: ヤドラン Yadoran) is a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon.

It evolves from Slowpoke at level 37.

Biology

Physiology

Slowbro are physically slightly different Slowpoke, with a Shellder latched to its tail on a symbiotic, almost parasitic relationship with the Slowbro. The extra weight on its tail turned the Slowpoke bipedal. As a result of carrying this burden, its special abilities were developed greatly. Through the symbiotic relationship, the latched Shellder grows in a spiral shell instead of a bivalve. If for any reason it loses its Shellder, it will result in the Slowbro returning to its former Slowpoke self.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Since it cannot fish anymore, it now has to catch prey. It is therefore, slightly faster than an ordinary Slowpoke, and is significantly more powerful. The most notable changes in Slowbro's movepool is the addition of physical fighting moves, such as Brick Break, Ice Punch and Seismic Toss.

Behavior

Used to dozing off at shorelines and lakesides waiting for fish to bite the tip of its tail, the extra burden of a Shellder turned this Pokémon fisher into a hunter, against its own will.

Habitat

Water's-edge Pokémon

Slowbro tend to live near ponds, lakes and seashores.
