Slowpoke in Pokemon Survivor

Slowpoke at a glance

Stats and Stat Score

Slowpoke has 110 HP, 84 speed and a 1.06x attack multiplier. The multiplier scales every move it uses, so it is the number to watch.

Compared with the whole roster, its HP is well above average, its speed is among the lowest on the roster and its attack is below average. Weighting attack at half and HP and speed at a quarter each gives the Stat Score of 36, which puts it at rank 713 overall, rank 112 of 151 among Kanto Pokemon and rank 102 of 149 Water-types and 77 of 96 Psychic-types. The score comes from the game's stat table, not from playtests, so read it together with the best Pokemon guide.

On the full Pokedex ranking Slowpoke sits next to Helioptile one place above it and Quaxly one place below it.

Slowpoke moves

Slowpoke is one of the 29 starters, so its first move is the one the starter list gives it: Confusion, a wave that homes in on its target.

The level-up cards can then offer 17 different moves: the 8 Normal moves that every Pokemon shares plus 9 moves of its own types. Moves level up to level 5 and can evolve once you also take the stat card they need, which is covered in the move evolution guide. The permanent Repertoire upgrade adds a second, random starting move; see the upgrades guide.

• Normal moves: Tackle, Quick Attack, Swords Dance, Agility, Harden, Body Slam, Hyper Voice, Substitute
• Water moves: Water Gun, Bubble, Hydro Pump, Aqua Ring, Bubble Beam
• Psychic moves: Confusion, Psybeam, Psychic, Psycho Cut

Weaknesses and resistances

Slowpoke takes extra damage from Electric (1.6x), Grass (1.6x), Bug (1.6x), Ghost (1.6x), and Dark (1.6x). It resists Fire (0.6x), Water (0.6x), Ice (0.6x), Fighting (0.6x), Psychic (0.6x), and Steel (0.6x). The remaining 7 of 18 types deal normal damage. The chart is softer than the main games: a super-effective hit is x1.6, a resisted hit x0.6 and an immunity x0.3, and two types multiply with each other inside the range 0.3 to 2.4. See the type chart guide for every matchup.

The multipliers apply to the damage you take, and enemies attack with the first type listed for them, so the dangerous enemies for Slowpoke are the ones whose first type is Electric, Grass, Bug, Ghost, or Dark. Boss shots carry their first type too. Weather does not change these numbers, but it changes your own damage; see the weather guide. There is no same-type bonus, so Water or Psychic moves do not hit harder just because Slowpoke shares the type.

How to get Slowpoke

Slowpoke is part of the Kanto banner. A single pull first picks a rarity (45% for Common) and then picks one of the 35 Common Pokemon on that banner at random, so one pull gives Slowpoke a 1.29% chance. Without pity helping at this rarity, expect to need around 78 pulls for this one in particular, although the pulls you spend on the banner also fill the rest of your collection.

A pull costs one ticket and ten pulls cost ten tickets or one x10 ticket. Tickets are earned in runs, from missions and from chests and are never sold for money. A duplicate turns into 15 coins, or 45 if it is the shiny version. The full odds and the pity rule are in the gacha guide.

Slowpoke is also one of the 29 starters. The personality test at the start only recommends one, and the "Choose another" button opens the full list, so you can pick Slowpoke straight away. The starters guide lists all 29 with their first moves.

A rarity-1 Pokemon like Slowpoke can also turn up as the Lost Pokemon event in a run. Lead it to the marker and, one time in five, it joins your collection; you always get coins, a ticket and a heal.

Shiny Slowpoke exists in this game. One pull in a hundred is a shiny, and wild enemies are shiny one time in 4096. Read the shiny guide for the details.

Slowpoke as an enemy

Slowpoke can show up as a regular enemy from 0:00 into the run (enemy tier 1 and 2). Each run draws only seven Pokemon per tier, so it is in some runs and absent from others.

Its enemy role is shooter: it keeps its distance and fires shots at you from range.
