Slowpoke Gets the Galar Treatment with Pokémon Sword and Shield’s Latest Update

With the announcement of the arrival of the Expansion Pass for Pokémon Sword and Shield, comes the arrival of the now mono psychic Pokémon Slowpoke.

How to get the Galarian Slowpoke

To get the Slowpoke in your version, here’s a short rundown on how to get the Pokémon:

    1. Update you game – Press the + button on your Switch controller and head to the Software Update section
    2. Head to Wedgehurst Station to meet either Klara (for Pokémon Sword) or Avery (for Pokémon Shield)
    3. Once you reach Wedgehurst Station let the game play itself until the game prompts you to capture the Pokémon
    4. And viola! You have your very own Slowpoke

Currently, you still can’t evolve the Galarian Slowpoke since the evolution item needed for Slowpoke to evolve to Slowbro or Slowking will be obtainable only on the Isle of Armor or The Crown Tundra respectively.

The Isle of Armor expansion pass will be available on June 2020 while the Crown Tundra Expansion pass will be available sometime later this year at a price of 29.99 usd.
