Pokédex Entries

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."
Brilliant Diamond Shining Pearl "Though usually dim-witted, it seems to become inspired if the Shellder on its tail bites down."
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."
Ultra Sun "Spacing out is basically all it does. It turns back into Slowpoke if its tail, along with Shellder, breaks off." Ultra Moon "Shellder, in its greed to suck out more and more sweetness from Slowbro’s tail, has metamorphosed into a spiral-shaped shell."
Let's Go, Pikachu! Let's Go, Eevee! "Lives lazily by the sea. If the Shellder on its tail comes off, it becomes a Slowpoke again."
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."
Alpha Sapphire Omega Ruby "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."
Black White "Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the Shellder on its tail bites down."
Black 2 White 2 "Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the Shellder on its tail bites down."
Diamond Pearl "Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the SHELLDER on its tail bites down."
Platinum "Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the SHELLDER on its tail bites down."
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."
Ruby Sapphire "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."
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."
Emerald "Its tail has a SHELLDER firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This forces it to reluctantly swim and catch prey."
Gold "If the tail-biting SHELLDER is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordi nary 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."
Red 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."
