Read more ↓Galarian Slowking is a Psychic/Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII as part of The Crown Tundra expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield. This unique regional variant transforms Slowpoke into a different evolutionary path, diverging from the Water/Psychic Slowbro and Slowking found in other regions. Galarian Slowking is known for its eerie, shamanistic appearance, with a Shellder having clamped onto its head in a way that grants it powerful psychic and toxic abilities. Its natural habitat is often depicted in mysterious, isolated areas, fitting its reclusive and intelligent nature. Galarian Slowking is said to commune with spirits and possess profound knowledge, often speaking in cryptic phrases. In the games, it plays a role in the lore of the Crown Tundra, particularly with the Legendary Pokémon Calyrex. Its distinct typing gives it unique matchups, being weak to Ground, Psychic, and Ghost, while resisting Fighting, Poison, Grass, Fairy, and having a double resistance to Psychic. Its striking design and intriguing lore have made it a memorable addition to the Pokémon universe, representing the diverse adaptations Pokémon can undergo in different environments.
