I could have sworn it was established that the tails do grow back as early as Gen 2. Maybe it's in the anime or something?

Gen 2 says that it grows back, though it specifies that it’s very slowly

I'd argue it's even more horrific if they grow back, you're literally keeping this creature alive in unending pain since it takes so fucking long for it to notice the pain. By the time it realizes it's lost its tail a new one has grown back and you chop it off again.

Wtf kind of logic is that? If I knew my dog's tail would grow back, I still wouldn't cut it off because it would possibly be extremely painful for him. Cutting off Slowpoke tails is still abusive and evil.

To all the "But its painful!" Fags in the thread.
Pokemon Sun: Its long tail often breaks off. It doesn’t really feel any pain, though, and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn’t particularly bothered.
Ultra Moon: Although their tails, which fall off naturally, can easily be found lying around, they’re a precious ingredient for cooking.

Slowpoke use their tail to catch fish, which is their primary source of food

Slowpoke actually don't feel very much pain, and the tail does grow back, but if the Slowpoke is not actually catching fish to eat, then their fatty tail growing back simply saps nutrients from the rest of their body, and leaves them malnourished

Slowpoke tails probably are delicious, but you can't just take them over and over or you'll starve the poor thing, both because it's a net loss to grow the tail back with no intake and also because they can't fish without them

The whole point of why it's bad when Team Rocket does it is because it's through unethical means that don't respect the Slowpoke's trust and wellbeing to a point where it's generally taboo enough outside of officially licensed vendors.

Slowbro is really strong lol

Honestly though, the shelder might have legitimate influence over it at that point, even if it's just through "hey go eat that guy" "oh okay"

They could be psychicly linked as well

And it devolves back into slowpoke if it's tail along with the shellder break off. At least according to some entries.

According to Slowking's dex entries, the only thing that keeps either of them evolved is the toxin inside of shelder, which beefs up slowbro's muscles or beefs up slowkings brain, so if the shelder detatched they would just be normal slowpoke again

>Slowking is actually stupider than Slowbro, but it's a good thing because it can actually think straight for once and ends up brilliant

I think the idea was that slowpokes are so slow that they wouldnt even feel the pain until the tail already started to regrow.
