Slowpoke became Slowbro when a Shellder bit on to its tail. Sweet flavors seeping from the tail make the Shellder feel as if its life is a dream.
Sword

Being bitten by a Shellder shocked this Pokémon into standing on two legs. If the Shellder lets go, it seems Slowbro will turn back into a Slowpoke.
Shield

Lives lazily by the sea. If the Shellder on its tail comes off, it becomes a Slowpoke again.
Let’s Go, Pikachu! · Let’s Go, Eevee!

Spacing out is basically all it does. It turns back into Slowpoke if its tail, along with Shellder, breaks off.
Ultra Sun

Shellder, in its greed to suck out more and more sweetness from Slowbro’s tail, has metamorphosed into a spiral-shaped shell.

It spaces out while gazing at the sea. With Shellder’s poison flowing through its body, it becomes even spacier.
Sun

Whenever Shellder bites down hard on its tail, it gives Slowbro a flash of inspiration...which it forgets a moment later.
Moon

Slowbro’s tail has a Shellder firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.
