The Dopey Pokemon Slowpoke has two evolutions, Slowbro or Slowking in Pokemon Go, and everyone is eager to find out the exact evolution methods to get them quickly. Here’s a detailed guide on Pokemon Go Slowpoke evolutions and which one is better in the mobile game.

Catching and evolving Pokemon is one of the most exciting parts of Pokemon Go. Nearly every species goes on to become stronger after evolving as they become more viable in PvP and PvE battles.

But several Pokemon have branched evolutions where they can evolve into two different species based on the evolution method. One such case is the popular Slowpoke.

Slowpoke can evolve into either Slowbro or Slowking in Pokemon Go. Now, fans want to know how they can get them and which one is better in Pokemon Go, so here are all the details.

You can collect Candy by catching large numbers of Slowpoke and by making it your Buddy to earn Candies through Adventure Sync.
