View source for Galarica

'''Galarica''' (Japanese: '''ガラナツ''' ''Galanut'') is a species of tree that grows in certain areas of the [[Galar]] region. In the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Galarica Twig]]s can be exchanged for items used to [[Evolution|evolve]] {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}}, the [[Galarica Cuff]] and the [[Galarica Wreath]].  

'''Galarica seeds''' used to be the favorite food of Galarian Slowpoke, and are considered an essential spice in cooking. It is believed the seeds are responsible for Galarian Slowpoke's unique appearance and behavior. Occasionally, the Pokémon will get a very sharp look in its eyes, as if it is about to think of something tremendous, but then it will quickly forget and return to its normal expression. It is believed that this behavior, along with the spicy taste of its [[Slowpoke Tail|tail]], is a result of '''Galarica particles''' built up over generations from its diet of native Galarica seeds affecting its brain and body.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/slowpoke/ Galarian Slowpoke Discovered | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

'''Galarica nuts''' appeared in ''[[JN097|An Evolution in Taste!]]''. A {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowking}} leading a group of Galarian {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Slowbro}} brought some of them to [[Slowpoke Island]] in order to make friends with the local Slowpoke and their evolutions. It also gave some Galarica seeds to {{Ash}} and [[Goh]], who found them tasty, despite their spiciness. By the end of the episode, Galarian Slowking's Galarica [[curry]] was combined with Slowpoke Island's Slowking's {{wp|udon}} to create a dish that both kinds of Slowpoke enjoyed, and a Galarica tree was planted on Slowpoke Island to commemorate their friendship.
