How to Evolve Galarian Slowpoke in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's The Indigo Disk DLC

Galarian Slowpoke's evolution in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet is not as straightforward as traditional level-ups or stones. To evolve this Pokémon into Galarian Slowbro or Galarian Slowking, you'll need to collect specific items, including the Galarica Wreath and Galarica Cuff, which require careful exploration of the Coastal Biome in The Indigo Disk DLC.

What You Need to Evolve Galarian Slowpoke

To evolve Galarian Slowpoke, you need to find a Galarica Cuff or a Galarica Wreath, which are said to make Slowpoke extremely happy, leading to its immediate evolution when you use the item. The Galarica items are single-use, so if you want to build a team of Galarian Slowbros and Galarian Slowkings, you'll need to obtain multiple Galarica Cuffs and Wreaths.

How to Obtain Galarica Cuffs and Wreaths in The Indigo Disk DLC

In The Indigo Disk, you can obtain a Galarica Cuff or Wreath by finding a friendly NPC who enjoys weaving Galarica Twigs into specific items. Once you find her and provide the required number of Galarica Twigs, she'll craft the item you need to evolve your Galarian Slowpoke.

Required Galarica Twigs for Each Item

• 8 Galarica Twigs for the Galarica Cuff (Galarian Slowbro)
• 15 Galarica Twigs for the Galarica Wreath (Galarian Slowking)

Where to Find the NPC Who Crafts Galarica Items

The Galarica NPC is located in the Coastal Plaza of the Coastal Biome in Blueberry Academy's Terrarium. The Coastal Plaza is near the northern beach area, and you'll find the NPC standing near two vending machines, recognizable by her overhead yellow and orange dialogue box.

Where to Find Galarica Twigs in The Indigo Disk DLC

Finding Galarica Twigs can be challenging, but there's one specific location where you can collect them. Just behind the Coastal Plaza, you'll find a small sandy beach where Galarian Slowpokes like to gather. This beach is full of Galarica Twigs, which are the random sparkly items you can pick up.

Should You Evolve Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowbro or Galarian Slowking?

If you don't want to gather the necessary 23 Galarica Twigs to evolve two Galarian Slowpokes, you'll have a choice to make. Galarian Slowbro and Galarian Slowking are two different Pokémon with different attributes. Both are Poison/Psychic dual-type Pokémon with the same total base stats, but with different stat distributions.

Galarian Slowking is more specialized, with higher Special Attack and Special Defense stats compared to Galarian Slowbro, who is more versatile. We would recommend using the Galarica Wreath to evolve your Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Slowking.
