Should it be noted (and for Slowking too) that despite being a Shellder latched onto it's tail, the thing on it's tail in no way resembles Shellder or even Cloyster (though it's closer to Cloyster I suppose)? | Should it be noted (and for Slowking too) that despite being a Shellder latched onto it's tail, the thing on it's tail in no way resembles Shellder or even Cloyster (though it's closer to Cloyster I suppose)? I'm not disputing what it is, it's clearly stated in the games that it's Shellder. I just think it's interesting that it looks -nothing- like it. [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] | ||

I may be wrong, but aren't Slowbro and Slowking the only time 2 Pokémon can be in the same Poké Ball?

:Some sprites have Mantine and Remoraid, and in some canons, a Magneton really is just three Magnemites. Then there's Metang being made of Beldum, and Metagross being made of Metang.

== Emerald shiny sprite mistaken? == | ==Emerald shiny sprite mistaken?== | ||
The shiny sprite for Emerald features a blue tongue, but I'm not sure whether that was a spriter's error or from the game, as I never owned that particular game, myself. A quick google search though shows that other websites with game sprite collections have a normal-colored tongue for Slowbro's shiny sprite. If the sprite in the article is mistaken, could someone more familiar with editing sprites fix it? --[[User:ACDragonMaster|ACDragonMaster]] 09:10, 3 March 2012 (UTC) | |||

:It is indeed an error. It's not noted here because it was decided to remove them because the sheer number of sprite errors were taking up large amounts of Trivia space.

:It's speculated that the family is based on various species of otter (as well as hippopotamuses) due to the fact that it hunts (presumably for fish) and is associated with shellfish. Hippos are herbivores. It is physically similar to both Giant Otters as well as Pygmy Hippopotamuses. | |||

==Trivia: "Only mention of devolving"== | |||
This is the only mentioning of a Pokémon possibly [[devolution|devolving]] anywhere in the Pokémon games, aside from [[Devolution Spray (Base Set 72)|a card]] in the {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game|game}} [[Pokémon Card GB2: Here Comes Team GR!|versions]] of the {{Trading Card Game}}. | |||

==Shellder actually a Cloyster?== | |||
I found a quote in the eighth paragraph of [http://kotaku.com/one-of-the-worst-pokemon-games-is-getting-remade-and-i-1646070409 this Kotaku article] that quotes Mega Slowbro's designer saying that the Pokémon on its tail is a Cloyster.
