Tips and tricks For Slowpoke

As a Water/Psychic Pokemon, Slowpoke is weak against Ghost, Dark, Electric, Grass, and Bug moves. Therefore, the three top Pokemon to use against Slowpoke are Thundurus, Gengar, and Yveltal.

However, in Pokemon GO, Slowpoke is particularly strong against Nidoran, Nidoqueen/king, and Ponyta. Therefore, when going into a battle against one of those Pokemon, Slowpoke will be pretty valuable.

Slowpoke is also boosted by rainy and windy weather in Pokemon GO. So the chances of encountering one on those days are much higher.

Lastly, Slowpoke has been known to spawn in locations such as:

  • Beach
  • River
  • Stream
  • Wetland
  • Ports
  • Reservoir

Bodies of water are a great place to start when looking to encounter a Slowpoke in the wild in Pokemon GO.
