Slowking made its first anime appearance in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'', where a colony of Slowpoke are attempting to reach the King's Rock in order to evolve into one so that they could help save the colony from a drought. The Slowpoke were faced with many problems since the King's Rock was also surrounded by {{p|Shellder}} and when ever they fail to reach it they evolve into a {{p|Slowbro}} instead. One Slowpoke named Arthur, which was owned by [[Alice Telesu|Alice]], tries and eventually succeeds. In the end, he leaves Alice in order to be the leader for the colony. It reappeared in {{AP|Larvitar}} and {{p|Unown}}'s vision in the episode ''[[EP263|Address Unown]]''.

In the {{chap|Platinum}}, [[Charon]] was seen in possession of a Slowking. This Slowking was used to provoke {{p|Giratina}} into attacking {{adv|Pearl}}, and later was used to attack Pearl again when Diamond was "killed." It was later abandoned toward the end of the arc.

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

* The {{p|Shellder}} of {{p|Slowbro}}'s {{Shiny}} form is gold, like a Shiny Shellder. This is not so for Shiny Slowking.
