  • The mysteries of a Slowpoke evolution!

    This episode is very informative because it reveals how Slowpoke's evolution works. In the game it's different because it evolves in Level 37 without a Shellder biting its tail. In the anime, a Slowpoke evolves when a Shellder bites to its tail. I really don't get it as I've always thought whatever goes in the games, it happens in the anime. Well, some events from games happen in any particular episode.moreless
