Slowest Pokemon?

[インフェルノの津波]

Title explains all. Well, which is it?

Slowpoke?
Slugma/Macargo?
Slowbro?
Snorlax?

Any others you can think of?

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

Obviously Shuckle with its insane 5 Base Speed.

 

[Kendall]

Doesn't HGSS have a race as part of the Pokethlon? You could race slow pokemon to find out who's the slowest. Though that's based on their stats on not on what the actually are like.

 

[Ayselipera]

Well stat wise the two slowest Pokemon are Shuckle and Munchlax with a 5 base speed.

Other pokemon who seem slow are
- Slakoth
- Blissey

 

[Kirbychu]

Torkoal is pretty slow. Snorlax hardly moves.

 

[Medli]

Yeah. Shuckle and Munchlax's Speed stats are the lowest. For whatever reason, I see Munchlax and Snorlax being somewhat fast if, say, there's food involved. I agree with Shuckle, though. I can't see that guy moving for anything. Same with Slowpoke, Slakoth and Magcargo. I mean, that thing is a slug for goodness sakes.

For whatever reason, I always imagined Blastoise as slow. I know it isn't that bad stat-wise. I think it's because of that huge, bulky shell. I just can't imagine it moving easily and swiftly. Meh.

I also think that Slaking is weird. It evolves from Slakoth, has the ability Truant, is called "the lazy Pokemon," and is depicted in all game sprites on the ground being, well, lazy. Yet it has a base speed of 100. I just can't see it moving tha fast. Maybe it's just me.

 

[Skaterzpenguin]

Mostly heavy pokemon are slow due to low speed.

 

[curiousnathan]

Slakoth or Slaking I suppose.
But the most obvious ones are like
Slowpoke
Snorlax = Snore like sleeping wich makes it slow.
SlowBro
Slowking

 

[Polizard]

Torkoal but he makes it up in defence but yeah it is shuckle and munchlax but stats

 

[infernape88]

I would say Nosepass is the slowest, because according to the Pokedex it's completely immobile and only moves 3/8 of an inch a year.

 

[Wings Don't Cry]

I would say Nosepass is the slowest, because according to the Pokedex it's completely immobile and only moves 3/8 of an inch a year.

Well I guess that ends the discussion.

 

[Timbjerr]

Xatu's pokedex entries mention that it never moves, but that's more a discipline thing than actually being unable to move. >_>

I'm inclined to say Magcargo and most other rock-type pokemon personally

 

[♣Gawain♣]

Torkoal is pretty slow. Snorlax hardly moves.

Snorlax moves fast when there's a lot of food.

^ can you explain it in the anime? It moves a lot if can remember, maybe due to to the fact it has a trainer.

 

[curiousnathan]

Hey! But what if that particular pokemon is being trained by a trainer and the trianer is focusing on improving it's speed?
Roarks Geodude was quick.
Normaly they are slow but because Geodude was being trained by Roark does it have some sort of impact on it's stats!

 

[♣Gawain♣]

EV training you say? Works best if it's Tyranitar or Metagross.

 

[curiousnathan]

Yes exactly. That's what I mean.

 

[GlitchCity]

sableye is pretty slow, bleh I love its eyes but it cant get me a win in a battle with a speed like that

 

[SuperJames]

Its Slowpoke, its in the name.

 

[*Minun*]

slowpoke is the slowest. It takes 5 minutes for even pain to register in it's system. It says that it is the slowest in it's pokedex entries and all of the pokemon books I've read.

 

[lavenderbolt]

though there are many pokemon slower but i want to think Slowking is the slowest pokemon, its name says all
