what animal is slowpoke
Slowpoke does indeed resemble a stylized pink hippopotamus. It's Slowpoke's evolutions â Slowbro and Slowking â where the snail association emerges. That peculiar creature that becomes attached to Slowpoke to trigger its evolution is repeatedly said to be a Shellder, though it bears little resemblance to one. Shellder, like Cloyster and Clamperl, is based on a bivalve.
