Pokemon Sword and Shield - How to Acquire Galarian Slowpoke

Guide on How to Obtain Galarian Slowpoke

Players can now obtain a Galarian Slowpoke both in Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield through the game’s latest free software update.

Overview on Galarian Slowpoke

Galarian Slowpoke is a pure psychic type pokemon and it has its own set abilities as compared to the original Slowpoke. These abilities are called Gluttony and Own Tempo.

Here is more in-depth information about the Slowpoke’s Galar regional form, including its evolution conditions, from Nintendo:

The Slowpoke of the Galar region used to eat the seeds of a certain plant that grew in their habitat. These seeds were in fact Galarica seeds, used to this day as an essential spice for cooking in the Galar region. The Slowpoke in Galar built up particles of this spice in their bodies over several generations, eventually gaining the unique appearance and behavior they are known for today.

Galarian Slowpoke spend their days wallowing on seashores and riverbanks without thinking about anything in particular. Occasionally, they might get a very sharp look in their eyes, but they will soon revert to their zoned-out expression. It’s thought that this behavior is caused by the accumulated Galarica particles stimulating Galarian Slowpoke’s brain, resulting in it thinking of something tremendous—only for the Galarian Slowpoke to immediately forget what it had just thought of.

Galarian Slowpoke can evolve into Galarian Slowbro if you use an item that can be found on The Isle of Armor. It can also evolve into Galarian Slowking if you use an item that can be found in The Crown Tundra.
