It has a Galarian form that is Psychic-type which evolves either into Galarian Slowbro when fed 50 candies after catching 30 Poison-type Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon or into Galarian Slowking when fed 50 candies after catching 30 Psychic-type Pokémon as a Buddy Pokémon.
Pokédex description
Slowpoke uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river. However, this Pokémon often forgets what it's doing and often spends entire days just loafing at water's edge.
Although this Pokémon is normally zoned out, its expression abruptly sharpens on occasion. The cause for this seems to lie in Slowpoke's diet.

Trivia
- A glitch caused Galarian Slowking was impossible to obtain during its first release. Evolving a Galarian Slowpoke would always turn into a Galarian Slowbro regardless of choice chosen. The glitch was fixed later and a compensation was made.[1]
