Pokédex descriptions

Shield

When this Pokémon’s tail is soaked in water, sweetness seeps from it. Slowpoke uses this trait to lure in and fish up other Pokémon.

Sword

Slow-witted and oblivious, this Pokémon won’t feel any pain if its tail gets eaten. It won’t notice when its tail grows back, either.

Lets Go Eevee

Incredibly slow and sluggish. It is quite content to loll about without worrying about the time.
