In the anime

Slowking first appeared in The Power of One. He gave Ash advice on where to find the orbs. This same Slowking made another appearance in a special episode that showed what he does on a daily basis.

A group of Slowpoke were trying to reach a King's Rock to evolve to Slowking in EP260. One finally succeeded at the end.
