Canonically, Slowbro and Slowking revert back to Slowpoke if the Turban is removed from them. However, what becomes of the Turban upon being removed from the Slowbro/king? Does it revert back to a Shellder? Or does it remain in its Turban form? If it's the latter, how come Turban isn't classified as a split-evo of Shellder? Why is it not officially recognized as its own Pokemon? Will Gamefreak ever rectify this incongruence?
