Galarian Slowpoke Tier 4 Community Day Raid Guide

Posted in
Slowpoke (Galarian)

Galarian Slowpoke is a tier 4 raid that can be soloed, and it can be shiny! Galarian 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

Galarian Slowpoke evolves into Galarian Slowbro with 50 candies and after catching 50 Poison-type Pokémon* while adventuring with Galarian Slowpoke as your buddy or Galarian Slowking with 50 candies and after catching 50 Psychic-type Pokémon while adventuring with Galarian Slowpoke as your buddy.

*On Saturday, March 18 2023 from 2:00 pm local time and 10:00 pm local time trainers can evolve Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowbro by catching 30 psychic-type Pokémon while adventuring with Galarian Slowpoke as your buddy.

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!

Galarian 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.

The best raid counters according to our GO Hub battle simulator for Slowpoke are:
