Pokédex Entries
Generation 1
| RedBlue | Incredibly slow and dopey. It takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time. |
Generation 2
| Gold | It lazes vacantly near water. If something bites its tail, it won't even notice for a whole day. |
|---|---|
| Silver | A sweet sap leaks from its tail's tip. Although not nutritious, the tail is pleasant to chew on. |
| Crystal | It is always so absent-minded that it won't react, even if its flavorful tail is bitten. |
Generation 3
| RubySapphireEmerald | 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. |
|---|---|
| FireRedLeafGreen | It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. It is good at fishing with its tail. |

Generation 7
| Sun | Its long tail often breaks off. It doesn’t really feel any pain, though, and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn’t particularly bothered. |
|---|---|
| Moon | Alolan home cooking involves drying Slowpoke tails and then simmering them into a salty stew. |
| Ultra Sun | There are some places where Slowpoke is worshiped because of a long-standing belief that whenever Slowpoke yawns, it rains. |
| Ultra Moon | Although their tails, which fall off naturally, can easily be found lying around, they’re a precious ingredient for cooking. |
| Let's Go PikachuLet's Go Eevee | Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time. |
Generation 8
| Sword | Slow-witted and oblivious, this Pokémon won’t feel any pain if its tail gets eaten. It won’t notice when its tail grows back, either. |
|---|---|
| Shield | When this Pokémon’s tail is soaked in water, sweetness seeps from it. Slowpoke uses this trait to lure in and fish up other Pokémon. |
