Unveil the power of Slowpoke, a top-notch Pokémon known for its Water and Psychic typing! Slowpoke is not a Pokémon anyone usually expects to see on the battlefield.

Slowpoke excels as a high-quality Physical Sweeper during single battles. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with formidable physical moves. Keep in mind back before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. The Shell Bell item option is to help Slowpoke recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Oblivious, Slowpoke cannot be infatuated. Gaining this ability while infatuated cures it. With a Silk Scarf equipped to it, Slowpoke's normal-type attacks have 1.1x power.
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ◆ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon. Power doubles on dig). ◆ Dig is a physical 60-base power Ground-type move (digs underground turn 1, strikes turn 2). ◆ Shadow Ball is a physical 80-base power Ghost-type move (20% chance to lower the target's special defense by 1 stage). ◆ Belly Drum is a status move (Slowpoke loses 50% max hp; This also maximizes Slowpoke's attack stat).
