Slowpoke Pokédex Entries

Sword
Shield
Slow-witted and oblivious, this Pokémon won’t feel any pain if its tail gets eaten. It won’t notice when its tail grows back, either.
When this Pokémon’s tail is soaked in water, sweetness seeps from it. Slowpoke uses this trait to lure in and fish up other Pokémon.

How to Get Slowpoke

Find 10 Digletts

Diglett Train in Fields of Honor
You can get a Slowpoke by finding 10 of the Alolan Digletts hiding around the Isle of Armor and talking to Diglett Master by the bridge in Fields of Honor. The Slowpoke will even be holding a King's Rock, so it'll be easy for you to evolve it to a Slowking!
