'''Slowking''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドキング''' ''Yadoking'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

 

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[King's Rock]]. It is one of Slowpoke's final forms, the other being {{p|Slowbro}}.

In [[Galar]], Slowking has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Psychic}} [[regional form]], introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s 1.3.0 patch. It evolves from {{rf|Galarian}} Slowpoke when exposed to a [[Galarica Wreath]]. It is one of Galarian Slowpoke's final forms, the other being Galarian Slowbro. These Slowking can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

 

 

Slowking was officially revealed in the May 1997 issue of [[CoroCoro]], along with {{p|Donphan}} and {{p|Ampharos}}.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro97-5b.html</ref>

Slowking is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a {{p|Shellder}} latched onto its head. It is primarily pink, with a pale yellow muzzle and scaled belly. Its feet and hands each have a single clawed digit, while the hands also have a clawless thumb. Around its neck is a spiny ruff with alternating red and white stripes. The Shellder on its head has a spiral shape with two horns near the base. A red gem resides in the center of the Shellder. The Shellder's eyes are visible on the back of the Shellder.

Shellder's bite releases venom into Slowpoke's brain, causing a chemical chain-reaction that unlocks a superior intelligence and extraordinary power. More venom is injected into Slowking every time it yawns. The more venom the Shellder releases, the more intelligent Slowking will become. However, if the Shellder on its head comes off, it will forget everything it has learned and would [[devolution|revert]] itself back to Slowpoke. As seen in ''[[JN026|Slowking's Crowning! ]]'', Slowking's Shellder crown can take control of human who wears the crown. Slowking's intelligence can match that of a human and it constantly attempts to learn more. Its inspiration and intuition are also highly developed, and Slowking is able to stay calm in any situation and plan situations with effective results; this allows Slowking to solve anything. In the games, Slowking's speech is said to be unintelligible; however, [[M02|in the anime]], it can [[Talking Pokémon|understand and speak the human language]].

According to [[The Complete Pokémon Pocket Guide]], it has such an easygoing personality that it is never stressed. Slowking is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found [[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|by the water's edge]]. It [[Slowking's Day|has been seen]] eating seaweed and drinking coconut milk. In [[Alola]], it is known as "the sage of the sea", and it occasionally matches wits with {{p|Oranguru}} by the beach. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Slowking is known to be dreaming world-changing ideas while it sleeps.<ref>''[[Pokémon Sleep|Sleep Style Dex]]''</ref>However, it forgets all of them the moment Slowking wakes up.

 

Slowking is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Chilly Reception}}.  

Slowking has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Slowking.

In [[Galar]], Shellder's bite causes a different chemical reaction in the brain due to the [[Galarica Twig|Galarica]] spices that make up Galarian Slowpoke's diet, causing Galarian Slowking to take on a [[Galarian form|unique appearance]]. The tip of its tail and the top half of its body are purple, and it has a long dark cloak that drapes from its neck. The Shellder has grown more dominant, appearing completely different with a rougher texture, a darker gray coloration, and a larger size, covering Slowking's eyes and nostrils. It has several purple spots dotting it, with a large one at the center that surrounds a green gem and two black eyes. The spikes on the Shellder are more blunt, and it has two purple horn-like tubes on either side from which poison may be secreted. The Shellder's teeth have also grown in size and are broad and flat instead of sharp; the same holds true for its wearer.

As Galarian Slowking evolves, the Shellder on its head has its intelligence skyrocket, giving it the ability to control the Slowking, as well as psychic powers that can rival the power of other {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. Galarian Slowking has been observed chanting mysterious spells and incantations in battle or to communicate with each other. It also chants these spells while creating strange potions using its internal toxins. What these incantations and spells mean has yet to be fully understood.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-slowking/ Galarian Slowking | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Galarian Slowking is capable of creating potions by mixing toxins it produces with the food it consumes. These potions are derived and secreted from poison and the holes on Galarian Slowking's horns. However, not even Galarian Slowking itself will have any idea what effects the potions it produces will have. It will administer the potions it creates to weaken any Pokémon it sees fit to test on. They can also be found in the [[Coastal Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Galar's regional life is simulated. As seen in ''[[JN097|An Evolution in Taste!]]'', Galarian Slowking's Shellder crown retains the same ability to control humans like its Johto counterpart.

Galarian Slowking is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Eerie Spell}}, as well as the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Curious Medicine}} as its [[Ability]].

Slowking [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Slowpoke}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[King's Rock]].  Slowpoke cannot evolve into Slowking in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interrupted. Slowpoke also cannot evolve into Slowking in {{LGPE}}, as Slowking is not present in those games.

=====Slowking (recurring)=====

In ''[[JN026|Slowking's Crowning!]]'', a Slowking living on [[Slowpoke Island]] had its crown removed. It reappeared in ''[[JN097|An Evolution in Taste!]]'', where the same happened again. This Slowking loves {{wp|udon}}.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

{{main|Slowking (TCG)}}

* In the TCG, Slowking's {{TCG|Southern Islands}} card is the only card depicting a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced after [[Generation I]] to have a square evolution box in Japan only. In the English version, the Southern Islands collection used the Neo-era designs, which, like all later card layouts, feature a circular evolution box.

* Johtonian Slowking shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Pyroar}}. They are both known as the Royal Pokémon.

* Slowking's Pokédex entries state that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to a {{p|Slowpoke}}. This is a rare example of [[devolution]] being mentioned in the games.

* Slowking, its Galarian form, and their evolutionary relatives are the only {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.

* Galarian Slowking's English {{pkmn|category}}, "Hexpert", may be a combination of ''hex'' and ''expert''.

* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, both forms of Slowking were unable to learn {{m|Helping Hand}} via [[TM]], while their pre-evolutions could, and Galarian Slowking was unable to learn {{m|Snowscape}} via [[TM]] as well, while its pre-evolution could.

* Galarian Slowking and its evolutionary relative, Galarian {{p|Slowbro}}, are the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|pink}} {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

Slowking's physical appearance may be based on {{wp|hippopotamus}}es, {{wp|giant otter}}s, and {{wp|giant salamander}}s. Its shell may reference {{wp|hermit crab}}s and the mythical {{wp|sazae-oni}}, a magical sea demon of {{wp|Japanese folklore}}, distinguished by its spiny "sazae" or "turban-shaped" snail shell.

 

Slowking may also be based on a king, as the growth around its neck resembles a king's {{wp|Ruff (clothing)|ruff}} while its shell is similar to a crown. It is known that hippopotamus are territorial animals that live in herds led by a dominant bull, so it is possible that the idea that Slowking is a kind of "king of the Slowpoke and Slowbro" have arisen from this characteristic of this animal.

 

By contrast, Galarian Slowking may draw inspiration from popular depictions of mythical sorcerers or {{wp|warlock}}s: its crown has morphed into a sorcerer's pointed hat, its elongated ruff now resembles a long dark robe, and it has developed a predilection for "{{m|Eerie Spell|chanting mysterious spells}}" in battle.  

Slowking may be a combination of ''slow'' and ''king''.

Yadoking may be a combination of 宿借り ''yadokari'' ({{wp|hermit crab}}), 宿主 ''yadonushi'' (parasitic host), and ''king''. Like [[Slowbro]], it is also partially named after the famous {{wp|Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavian}} singer-songwriter {{wp|Jadranka Stojaković}}, who had worked for {{wp|Konami}} during her residence in Japan. Her name is transliterated into Japanese as ヤドランカ ''Yadoranka'', which inspired one of her former colleagues who named Slowbro and Slowking.<ref>[https://radiosarajevo.ba/metromahala/lica/jadranka-stojakovic-vratila-sam-se-definitivno/54320 Jadranka Stojaković: Vratila sam se definitivno / Radio Sarajevo] ''in Bosnian''</ref>
