'''Slowking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドキング''' ''Yadoking'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. | |||
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} when [[trade]]d while holding a [[King's Rock]]. It is one of Slowpoke's final forms, the other being {{p|Slowbro}}. | |||
In [[Galar]], Slowking has a [[regional form]]. It evolves from Galarian Slowpoke using an item found in [[The Crown Tundra]]. It is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowbro. | |||
==Biology== | |||
Slowking is a bipedal Pokémon with a {{p|Shellder}} latched onto its head. It is primarily pink, with a pale yellow muzzle and scaled belly. Its feet and hands each have a single clawed digit, while the hands also have a clawless thumb. Around its neck is a spiny ruff with alternating red and white stripes. The Shellder on its head has a spiral shape with two horns near the base. A red gem resides in the center of the Shellder. The Shellder's eyes are visible on the back of the Shellder. | |||
Shellder's bite releases venom into Slowpoke's brain, causing a chemical chain-reaction that unlocks a superior intelligence and extraordinary power. More venom is injected into Slowking every time it yawns. The more venom the Shellder releases, the more intelligent Slowking will become. However, if the Shellder on its head comes off, it will forget everything it has learned and would [[devolution|revert]] itself back to Slowpoke. Slowking's intelligence can match that of a human and it constantly attempts to learn more. Its inspiration and intuition are also highly developed, and Slowking is able to stay calm in any situation and plan situations with effective results. This allows Slowking to solve anything despite nobody understanding it. [[M02|In the anime]], it can [[Talking Pokémon|understand and speak the human language]]. | |||
According to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]], it has such an easygoing personality that it is never stressed. Slowking is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|by the water's edge}}. It [[Slowking's Day|has been seen]] eating seaweed and drinking coconut milk. In [[Alola]], Slowking occasionally matches wits with {{p|Oranguru}} by the beach. | |||
<!-- | |||
Not much is known about Galarian Slowking. It has a slight color difference with purple spots on its tail and paws, and has a black long collar. The Shellder also appears to look completely different with a darker gray coloration.--> | |||

In ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', a colony of Slowpoke was attempting to reach the King's Rock in order to evolve into one so that they could help save the colony from a drought. The Slowpoke were faced with many problems since the King's Rock was also surrounded by {{p|Shellder}}, and whenever they failed to reach it, they would evolve into a Slowbro instead. One Slowpoke [[nickname]]d Arthur, which was owned by [[Alice Telesu]], tried reaching the King's Rock and eventually succeeded. In the end, he left Alice in order to be the leader of the colony. Arthur reappeared in {{AP|Larvitar}}'s vision in ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]''. | |||

A hint of Slowking's existence first appeared in ''[[PS083|Bang the Drum, Slowbro]]'', while [[Lorelei]] was musing on {{p|Slowbro}}'s enhanced abilities after it had been bitten by {{p|Shellder}}. She remarked that {{p|Slowpoke}} would likely have further improved abilities if it was bitten on its head. | |||
Slowking physically debuted in ''[[PS153|Oh, It's Ho-Oh!]]'', under the ownership of [[Sham]]. It was able to use its {{m|Snore}} alongside [[Carl]]'s {{p|Magcargo}} to attack even when asleep. However, a double {{m|Giga Drain}} defeated them both. | |||

A talking Slowking appears in ''[[GB19|The Truth About The Mysterious Whirl Islands!!]]''. It met Gold and Chris when they got stranded on Whirl Islands. It initially thought they came to challenge {{p|Lugia}}, but they knew nothing about the [[Silver Wing]]. It asked them to leave but the trees were too thick to cut and build a raft. It then offered to give them its rubber boat if they defeated a recently gone violent Kamex that had ruled the island for a century. They manage to defeat it, wrecking Slowking's cave in the process. It later explains to them about Lugia and the Whirl Islands after they defeat Lugia. | |||

Slowking (Japanese: ヤドキング Yadoking) is a dual-type Water/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Slowpoke when traded while holding a King's Rock. It is one of Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Slowbro.
In Galar, Slowking has a regional form. It evolves from Galarian Slowpoke using an item found in The Crown Tundra. It is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowbro.
Biology
Slowking is a bipedal Pokémon with a Shellder latched onto its head. It is primarily pink, with a pale yellow muzzle and scaled belly. Its feet and hands each have a single clawed digit, while the hands also have a clawless thumb. Around its neck is a spiny ruff with alternating red and white stripes. The Shellder on its head has a spiral shape with two horns near the base. A red gem resides in the center of the Shellder. The Shellder's eyes are visible on the back of the Shellder.
Shellder's bite releases venom into Slowpoke's brain, causing a chemical chain-reaction that unlocks a superior intelligence and extraordinary power. More venom is injected into Slowking every time it yawns. The more venom the Shellder releases, the more intelligent Slowking will become. However, if the Shellder on its head comes off, it will forget everything it has learned and would revert itself back to Slowpoke. Slowking's intelligence can match that of a human and it constantly attempts to learn more. Its inspiration and intuition are also highly developed, and Slowking is able to stay calm in any situation and plan situations with effective results. This allows Slowking to solve anything despite nobody understanding it. In the anime, it can understand and speak the human language.
According to The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide, it has such an easygoing personality that it is never stressed. Slowking is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found by the water's edge. It has been seen eating seaweed and drinking coconut milk. In Alola, Slowking occasionally matches wits with Oranguru by the beach.

In A Crowning Achievement, a colony of Slowpoke was attempting to reach the King's Rock in order to evolve into one so that they could help save the colony from a drought. The Slowpoke were faced with many problems since the King's Rock was also surrounded by Shellder, and whenever they failed to reach it, they would evolve into a Slowbro instead. One Slowpoke nicknamed Arthur, which was owned by Alice Telesu, tried reaching the King's Rock and eventually succeeded. In the end, he left Alice in order to be the leader of the colony. Arthur reappeared in Larvitar's vision in Address Unown.

It then offered to give them its rubber boat if they defeated a recently gone violent Kamex that had ruled the island for a century. They manage to defeat it, wrecking Slowking's cave in the process. It later explains to them about Lugia and the Whirl Islands after they defeat Lugia.

Trivia
- In the TCG, Slowking's Southern Islands card is the only card depicting a Pokémon introduced after Generation I to have a square evolution box in Japan only. In the English version, the Southern Islands collection used the Neo-era designs, which, like all later card layouts, feature a circular evolution box.
- Slowking shares its category name with Pyroar. They are both known as the Royal Pokémon.
Origin
Slowking's shell makes it similar to hermit crabs, though it is physically similar to giant otters, giant salamanders, and hippopotamuses. Its shell "crown" may also be a reference to the mythical sazae-oni, a magical sea demon of Japanese folklore distinguished by its spiny "sazae" or "turban shaped" snail shell. Additionally, it seems to be based on a king, as the growth around its neck is based on a king's ruff while its shell is similar to a crown.
Name origin
Slowking is a combination of slow and king.
Yadoking is a combination of 宿借り yadokari (hermit crab) and king. Alternatively, it may also derive from 宿主 yadonushi ([parasitic] host), based on its relationship with Shellder in its evolutions.
