Slowbro is a bipedal, pink Pokémon with a tan, striped belly and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has large, vacant eyes, curled ears, and two pointed teeth protruding from its upper jaw. It has three clawed fingers on its hands and two clawed toes on its feet. There is a {{p|Shellder}} attached to its tail. This Shellder has a gray, spiral shell with darker gray spots and small eyes near the base. There are several spikes across the surface of the Shellder, and it holds onto Slowbro with many sharp teeth. Shellder developed its spiral form in an effort to suck more sweetness out of Slowbro's tail. If its tail or the Shellder attached to it is broken off, Slowbro will [[Devolution|revert]] to its unevolved form, {{p|Slowpoke}}. | Slowbro is a bipedal, pink Pokémon with a tan, striped belly and a rounded, tan muzzle.

Slowbro has lost the capability to feel pain due to the Shellder's poison. However, it apparently becomes inspired when the Shellder bites down on its tail. While it is capable of unleashing powerful psychic attacks, Slowbro is typically rather peaceful and usually prefers not to fight. Because it can no longer fish using its tail, it instead swims to catch its prey and allows the Shellder to feed on its leftover scraps. Slowbro tends to live near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|ponds, lakes, and seashores}}. | Slowbro has lost the capability to feel pain due to the Shellder's poison.

When Slowbro [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolves]], it becomes engulfed by the Shellder so that only its head, arms, and white-tipped tail are visible. Its head pokes out of the mouth of the Shellder and is surrounded by Shellder's now larger teeth. The spiral Shellder now has an opening at its tip, allowing the tail of Slowbro to stick out. Mega Slowbro balances on its tail due to its legs being engulfed. It can move by bouncing, using its tail as a spring. The spikes on the Shellder are now reduced to four on the bottom section of its body and the dark spots only visible on its middle section. Mega Slowbro's energy has gathered into Shellder, which has increased its hardness.

Mega Slowbro's energy has gathered into Shellder, which has increased its hardness. This allows it to act as armor so hard that nothing can scratch it. Slowpoke is virtually unchanged, but it gains some power and motivation from Shellder's digestive fluids. | ||
In [[Galar]], Galarian Slowbro's appearance is due to Shellder biting its arm instead of tail, causing a chemical reaction with the consumed Galarica spices within its body. The Shellder attached to its arm resembles the Shellder tail from its Kantonian counterpart but smaller with a purple tip shaped like a stinger and even lacks pupils. It has a slight color difference with purple spots on its forehead. Its mouth and paws are also purple, while its belly remains gray. | In [[Galar]], Galarian Slowbro's appearance is due to Shellder biting its arm instead of its tail, causing a chemical reaction with the consumed Galarica spices within its body.

While normally zoned out, its expression will quickly change when facing a strong opponent due to the stimulus jolt from its nervous system. Galarian Slowbro can move with speed that puts the quickest of known reflexes to shame in order to fire a liquid poison shot from Shellder's tip.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/galarian-slowbro/</ref>Slowbro releases the poison liquid by grabbing Shellder's tongue who launches it. | ||
