Read more ↓Galarian Slowking is a dual-type Poison/Psychic Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII as part of the Isle of Armor expansion for Pokémon Sword and Shield. It evolves from Galarian Slowpoke when exposed to a King's Rock. Unlike its Kantonian counterpart, which is known for its wisdom, Galarian Slowking is characterized by its unsettling intelligence and a penchant for chanting strange incantations, a result of the Shellder that has affixed itself to its head. This Shellder has a more prominent, crown-like appearance, and its toxins have seeped into Slowking's brain, altering its personality and abilities. In the games, it is a formidable special attacker with unique moves like Eerie Spell. Its role in the anime often highlights its mysterious and somewhat sinister nature, contrasting with the more benign portrayal of other Slowpoke evolutions. Its unique typing offers interesting strategic advantages and disadvantages in battle, being weak to Ground, Ghost, and Dark types, while resisting Fighting, Poison, Grass, and Psychic.
