Slowpoke and Galarian Slowpoke recently had their Community Day. If you were lucky, you were able to these charming Dopey Pokemon to your collection. But you might be wondering how to evolve Galarian Slowpoke into either Galarian Slowbro or Galarian Slowking.

Both evolved forms have their charms and very different strengths. Galarian Slowbro, for example, triumphs in the Great and Ultra League, but Galarian Slowking is really cool looking. And that counts for something in my book.

Fortunately, getting the evolution you want is straightforward but not something most people would guess.

How to Evolve Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowbro

Galarian Slowbro is a Poison- and Psychic-Type Pokemon that wears a Shellder on its paw. That’s right, Slowbro’s entire fist is in a Shellder’s mouth, and it squeezes its tongue in order to shoot out a toxic liquid from the tip of its shell.

A shell with a tip that is suspiciously posterior. I won’t say it, but I know we’re all thinking it.

Anyway, add Galarian Slowpoke as your buddy. Once Galarian Slowpoke is your buddy, all you need to do is catch 30 Poison-type Pokemon with Slowpoke.

Once you do, you’ll unlock the option to evolve Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowbro. Congratulations!

The method to evolve Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowking is pretty much the same. Galarian Slowpoke needs to be your buddy and then you need to catch 30 Psychic-type Pokemon.

Finding 30 Pokemon of any type can be quite difficult, so waiting for another Community Day event or general event is a good idea.
