|---|---|
| Red | The SHELLDER that is latched onto SLOWPOKE’s tail is said to feed on the host’s left over scraps. |
| Blue | The SHELLDER that is latched onto SLOWPOKE’s tail is said to feed on the host’s left over scraps. |
| Yellow | Lives lazily by the sea. If the SHELLDER on its tail comes off, it becomes a SLOWPOKE again. |
| Gold | If the tail-biting SHELLDER is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary SLOWPOKE. |
| Silver | Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to SHELLDER’s seeping poison. |
| Crystal | An attached SHELLDER won’t let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail. |
| Firered | When a SLOWPOKE went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a SHELLDER. That made it evolve into SLOWBRO. |
| Leafgreen | The SHELLDER that latches onto SLOWPOKE’s tail is said to feed on the host’s leftover scraps. |
| Heartgold | If the tail-biting SHELLDER is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary SLOWPOKE. |
| Soulsilver | Naturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to SHELLDER’s seeping poison. |
| X | An attached Shellder won’t let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail. |
| Y | When a Slowpoke went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a Shellder. That made it evolve into Slowbro. |
| Sun | It spaces out while gazing at the sea. With Shellder’s poison flowing through its body, it becomes even spacier. |
| Moon | Whenever Shellder bites down hard on its tail, it gives Slowbro a flash of inspiration...which it forgets a moment later. |
| UltraSun | Spacing out is basically all it does. It turns back into Slowpoke if its tail, along with Shellder, breaks off. |
| UltraMoon | Shellder, in its greed to suck out more and more sweetness from Slowbro’s tail, has metamorphosed into a spiral-shaped shell. |
| Sword | Slowpoke became Slowbro when a Shellder bit on to its tail. Sweet flavors seeping from the tail make the Shellder feel as if its life is a dream. |
| Shield | Being bitten by a Shellder shocked this Pokémon into standing on two legs. If the Shellder lets go, it seems Slowbro will turn back into a Slowpoke. |
| Scarlet | When a Slowpoke went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a Shellder. That made it evolve into Slowbro. |
| Violet | If the tail-biting Shellder is thrown off in a harsh battle, this Pokémon reverts to being an ordinary Slowpoke. |
