Slowpoke (Japanese: ヤドン Yadon, German: Flegmon, French: Ramoloss, Korean: 야돈 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 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's original English name was "Slowmo".
