Slowpoke tails are pretty thick I'd imagine, so it's probably cooked like a chicken breasts, at least depending on how safe it is to eat rare Slowpoke tail meat. Or maybe, since Slowpoke are suprisngly big, it's more like a steak, you cut it into slices and sear/grill them.

I'd think you could pan sear it and pop it in a pre-heaged oven, cook it in oil or butter, and throw in some thyme and crushed garlic.

I don't know what Slowpoke Tail tastes like, but I think giving it a spice rub and slow cooking it in a smoker overnight would be great. The meat would be nice and tender, and it might even be so good that I forget I'm eating an unethically sourced Pokemon cuisine!

On the topic of slowpoke tail, this is an actual curry in Sword & Shield:

Spoiler:


and one of the ingredients used is the Smoke-Poke Tail, with this description:

One of the many ingredients that can be used for cooking at your camp. When a Slowpoke's tail falls off, it grows back quickly.
So it's definitely a food, and the way that curry is prepared does make it look good. :D;

Johto, like most of the industrialized world has banned slowpoke tail products. We still have work to do, this practice still occurs here on the black market, but we are doing our part in the community as a whole to end the slowpoke tail industry, and have also significantly funded Pokemon conservation efforts to recover the nearly hunted to extinction Farfetch'd population in our region. We call on our neighbors in Galar and Alola to give up the completely unnecessary and barbaric practice of slowpoke tail consumption.

It is unethical to eat slowpoke. They are such gentle creatures. Eating the tail has been justified for centuries because of a slowpoke's alleged reduced intelligence and delayed responses to pain, citing that they usually don't notice for awhile if their tail goes missing. However, there is data to support that we may have underestimated the intelligence of this species, as their expression has been seen to abruptly sharpen on occasion, and research is still ongoing of their latent psychic potential. Even if it were indeed the case they don't fully experience what is happening to their body parts though the way that you and I might, that still doesn't make it right of us to steal their tails. If you follow line of thinking of survival of the fittest then there are human beings with physical and or mental disabilities that would cause them to not fully perceive what is happening to them. Does this give us a license to exploit each other too? I hope you will join me saying, no, of course not.

The slowpoke trade is so in contrast to the value system that Pokemon are our friends we are taught as trainers. I don't eat my friends.

I buy only vegan leppa berry protein tails, which are not only the healthier option than a sodium-packed heart disease-triggering slowpoke tail, but the humane and sustainable choice. Try that in your curry.

I'm would make stir fry noodles out of Slowpoke tails.

Noodles

250 g egg noodles
600 g Slowpoke tail
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons cornstarch
3 cloves of garlic
1 chili pepper
1 tablespoon minced ginger
200 g broccoli
200 g cauliflower
200 g green beans
3 carrots
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Stir fry sauce

50 mL soy sauce
100 mL low sodium chicken broth
60 mL pineapple juice
60 g brown sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch + 2 tablespoons water

Cut broccoli, cauliflower and green beans into smaller pieces. Julienne the carrots. Cut garlic and chili pepper into smaller pieces, and mince fresh ginger. Preheat the vegetable oil in a wok pan over medium high heat. Cut the Slowpoke tail into small pieces. Rub the tail pieces with salt, pepper and cornstarch. Add the Slowpoke tail pieces to the wok and cook them until they are golden brown. Lower the heat, and add garlic, chili pepper and ginger. Add broccoli, cauliflower, green beans and carrots, and cook them until they are soft.

Cook noodles and add them to the pan when they are ready. Toss to combine noodles, vegetables and tail pieces. In the other pan, cook the stir fry sauce. Add soy sauce, chicken broth, pineapple juice, brown sugar and cornstarch with water, and cook until the sauce is thick. When the sauce is thick, pour the sauce to the noodles and bring to a simmer. Serve hot.

You guys have serious problems... with that said though, I think the clue is in the name ;)

Slow cook it, and make sure to poke it every now and again.

Oh my gosh, poor Slowpoke! 😭

I kind of regret imagining this, but I bet you could cook it like tempura shrimp.
