Slowbro is a Water, Psychic-type Pokémon from the Kanto region. It evolves from Slowpoke after being fed 50 candies. Slowbro is one of the final evolutions of Slowpoke, the other being Slowking. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Slowbro initially after being given 100 Mega Energy. It has a Galarian form that is Poison, Psychic-type which evolves from Galarian Slowpoke after being fed 50 candies and has caught 30 Poison-type Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon.
Pokédex description
Slowbro's tail has a Shellder firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can't be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.
A Shellder bite set off a chemical reaction with the spices inside Slowbro's body, causing Slowbro to become a Poison-type Pokémon.
Having been swallowed whole by Shellder, Slowbro now has an iron defense. It's pretty comfortable in there, too.
