Slowpoke Tier 4 Community Day Raid Guide

Slowpoke is a tier 4 raid that can be soloed and is exclusive to the 5-hour window immediately following Slowpoke Community Day.

Slowpoke has a raid boss CP of 12504, and can be caught with the following CP values:

650 – 700 CP at Level 20, no weather boost
812 – 876 CP at Level 25 with Windy or Rainy weather boost

Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro with 50 candies or Slowking with 50 candies and a King’s rock.

These raids can only be participated in via in person raid passes, using either your free daily raid pass, or premium remote raid passes. You cannot partake in them using remote raid passes.

Completing these special raids will cause Slowpoke to appear around the gym in higher numbers, with the same shiny rate as during Community Day hours!

Slowpoke Counters

Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.
