Flavor

Detailed flavor page covering all versions

Flavor Text

: Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the Shellder on its tail bites down.

: An attached Shellder won’t let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail.
: When a Slowpoke went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a Shellder. That made it evolve into Slowbro.
: Slowbro’s tail has a Shellder firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.

: It spaces out while gazing at the sea. With Shellder’s poison flowing through its body, it becomes even spacier.
: Whenever Shellder bites down hard on its tail, it gives Slowbro a flash of inspiration...which it forgets a moment later.
: Spacing out is basically all it does. It turns back into Slowpoke if its tail, along with Shellder, breaks off.
: Shellder, in its greed to suck out more and more sweetness from Slowbro’s tail, has metamorphosed into a spiral-shaped shell.
