Great family. I find it very odd that Galarian bro/king are both Poison/Psychic. Aside from that being boring and a waste, Slowbro just SEEMS way way more like a Ghost/Psychic Type than Poison. It's a shadowy puppet king who is being possessed. It has Eerie Spell which screams Ghost Type to me.

It's a shadowy puppet king who is being possessed. It has Eerie Spell which screams Ghost Type to me. And it makes sense for an evil king to have shadowy abilities.

If you buttfucked it, how long would it take for it to realize what's happening or happened?

I think it's supposed to be an otter with influence from hippos and hermit crabs, but I'm not entirely sure

The image for Slowpoke Tail curry makes them look like they have scales + the stated ability to detach and regrow their tails is very reptilian, but the overall design gives more the impression of a Hippo/Otter hybrid. It's in the Monster/Water 1 Egg groups. Water 1 is for Amphibious/Semi-Aquatic vertebrates, while monster is generally used for animalistic pokemon that don't have a single clear inspiration.

All of these things can be true at once, so Slowpoke is a reptilian monster that physically resembles semi-aquatic mammals

Quoted By: >>50407079

The Slowpoke family is based on the sazae-oni, a yokai with the shell of a turban snail. It's often depicted as emerging from the shell like a giant mollusc and/or wearing one on its head.

nice dubs, Gen 1monster/kaiju egg are honestly what Pokemon should be. They are monsters, they aren't supposed to be a specific animals,all of what you said, combined with
>>50404794 this yokai. Just brilliant designs

>What is Venusaur?
frog? reptilian cat?, hippo? Sauropod? Combined with a raffeslia.

>Snorlax
Bear?Torotoro? Cat? Paraody on a programmer?

>Nidos
Rabbit? rhino? theropod? Baragon?
