|generation={{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}}

The '''Slowpoke Well''' (Japanese: '''ヤドンのいど''' ''{{tt|Yadon|Slowpoke}} Well'') is a man-made cave located at the edge of [[Azalea Town]]. It is located just north-west of {{rt|33|Johto}}, first seen on the way to Azalea Town. The cave is home to a wide variety of [[wild Pokémon]], but is unique for being the home of Azalea Town's {{p|Slowpoke}}, which they use as pets. It is said that a {{p|Slowpoke}} from the well ended a drought that plagued Azalea Town 400 years before the games' events by yawning.  

The Slowpoke Well is where the player first encounters the revived [[Team Rocket]], who are cutting off the tails of Slowpoke to sell at their HQ in [[Mahogany Town]]. Before talking to [[Kurt]] in his house, there will be a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} guarding the entrance of the well, and will not let anyone in. When entering Kurt's house for the first time, he will quickly run out after saying something about going to the Slowpoke Well. He will defeat the grunt at the entrance, then will fall into the well and injure his back. After [[Kurt]] is injured while trying to stop Team Rocket, the player has to defeat the Grunts and rescue the kidnapped Slowpoke.

The Slowpoke Well is located on the east side of [[Azalea Town]], just north of {{rt|33|Johto}}. The well is a actually a large cave with many chambers. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the Slowpoke Well can be accessed to by going down a small flight of stairs into the dark cave below. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is a sloping ramp that winds around the well, slowly descending in an indented section of ground. The aesthetics of the well have also been updated to show a small, circular, brick well, which can only be entered by going straight into the hole of the well.
