How to unlock Slowpoke in PokeBonk
Slowpoke joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Put 8,000 Pokemon to sleep.
Catching Slowpoke
Then Slowpoke can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Slowpoke moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Yawn | Normal | Special | Homing | Start | 12 | 1.13 s |
| 2 | Scald | Water | Special | Cone | Level 2 | 4 | 1.84 s |
| 3 | Psychic Noise | Psychic | Special | Wave | Level 4 | 20 | 2.18 s |
| 4 | Expanding Force | Psychic | Special | Shockwave | Level 7 | 29 | 2.39 s |
Slowpoke passive: Oblivious
+25% HP, +1.5 regen and -10% speed. Every 6 s you yawn: enemies within 6 m may fall asleep. Like Slowbro, the Shellder on its tail gives you +20 armor.
Scald, Psychic Noise, and Expanding Force match Slowpoke's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Slowpoke Ultimate in PokeBonk
Slowpoke's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slowpoke | Colossal Yawn | 2.4 s | A huge yawn puts everything within 14 m to sleep; shortly after, a psychic rain falls on ten sleepers (sleepers take ×1.8). |
| Slowbro | Shellder's Bite | 2.8 s | Your yawn and the Shellder on your tail bite eight enemies; it ends in a psychic geyser that confuses within 13 m. |

| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Slowpoke | 0 | 147 | 9.7 | 0.95x | 1.07x | 0.97x | 1x |
