>>37274527Slowpoke is frustrating to raise because, for some dumb reason, they made him more physical than special until he evolves into Slowbro (or Slowking, if that's what you want to do).
Once your Slowpoke evolves, it'll magically get a huge Special Attack boost and it'll all work out. Raising a Slowpoke is kind of a patience game, but it turns out alright, I promise.
