move all remaining groundhog mercenaries to the front lines. Have sheep troopers squadrons A and B flank the cows. They're using DC-17 hoof blasters.

What the most unusual thing to me was that the thing on a Slowbro's tail is very clearly not a Shellder.

I wonder if there was originally a 2nd stage evo in the Cloyster line and they just decided to make that be what's on Slowbro's tail?

You know what would have been fun?

What if they had made Slowpoke/bro's slowness into an advantage? IIRC the RBY pokedex said something about it taking him five minutes to feel pain.

So what if they made SP take damage the turn after he gets attacked, and SB take damage TWO turns after the attack?

I always assumed it was a Shellder that evolved with the Slowpoke, but Pokemon have never kept their names when evolving so I'm not sure either. inb4 it's a regional variant in the future.

Could you find Shellder in UM or was it US exclusive? Because I don't remember that entry.

Wait, no, I completed the Pokedex in that. Why don't I remember this???

Shellder is poison type.

Clearly the first (certain non-poison type Pokmon can still learn poison type moves)

Okay, but that still doesn't explain Slowking.

Unless the games say that Slowpoke's head is as sweet as its tail...
