Slowpoke (Japanese: ヤドン Yadon) is a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon. It first appeared in the Generation I games.
Slowpoke comes with one of two Abilities: Oblivious, which prevents attraction; or Own Tempo, which prevents confusion.
Slowpoke can evolve into one of two Pokémon: into Slowbro starting at Level 37; or into Slowking via link trade while holding a King's Rock.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen
- Incredibly slow and dopey. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack.
- Pokémon Yellow
- Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time.
- Pokémon Gold
- It lazes vacantly near water. If something bites its tail, it won't even notice for a whole day.
- Pokémon Silver
- A sweet sap leaks from its tail's tip. Although not nutritious, the tail is pleasant to chew on.
- Pokémon Crystal
- It is always so absent-minded that it won't react, even if its flavorful tail is bitten.
- Pokémon Ruby and 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.
- Pokémon 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.
- Pokémon 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.
Name origin
A slowpoke is simply a term for someone who is slow. The yado in Yadon may be from 宿借り yadokari, hermit crab. Alternatively, it may also be derived from 宿主 yadonushi, (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 donkan means thickheaded or stolid.
Slowpoke vaguely resembles a hippopotomus.
Slowpoke's original English name was "Slowmo".

Evolution
In the anime
Slowpoke's first appearance was a brief one in EP017. Ash's Pokémon asked it for help, but didn't respond. It evolved into a Slowbro at the very end of the episode.
Slowpoke's first major role was in EP066. Ash and co. asked for the help of Professor Westwood to help figure out why Slowpoke only evolved into Slowbro when a Shellder clamped on its tail (a question that was giving Prof. Oak a headache). Westwood's Slowpoke evolved when a Shellder that Jessie caught clamped on to the Dopey Pokémon's tail.
EP142 revealed that Azalea Town considers Slowpoke sacred due to legends claiming that Slowpoke's yawning can summon rain.
Other appearances
Slowpoke is a Pokéfloat. It initially has its tail curled towards its body but the tail lazily becomes straight and fighting moves there until Wooper appears.
