When your classification is "Dopey," things aren’t looking too good. Slowpoke's famous for being dimwitted and torturously slow, and the moves it learns naturally aren't an overly impressive counterbalance. He's fun to play with, level up and all that, but odds are you can find a more useful Pokemon. Two evolution options await - Slowbro and Slowking.
Evolution: To Slowbro at 37, to Slowking via King's Rock
