For players that would like to get such a Slowbro for themselves, this guide has all of the details that they will need.

The first step to evolving Slowpoke into Galarian Slowbro is totravel to The Isle of Armor inSwordandShieldand then begin riding around with special attention being paid to the trees in the area. Specifically, players are looking for eight Galarica Twigs, and while they appear to be a bit rare, fans that exercise some patience will find these items under the trees on The Isle of Armor.

After a player has collected eight of these Galarica Twigs inPokemon SwordandShield, they will then need to take them to an NPC located on an island near The Isle of Armor’s train station. To reach this island, players should turn to the right when exiting the station and head straight from there. The video above provides a visual reference for the location of the NPC, and it should make it very easy for players to evolve their Galar Slowpokes inPokemon SwordandShield’s The Isle of Armor DLC.

When a player has located the NPC all that is left is to exchange the Galarica Twigs that were collected previously for a Galarica Cuff. Then fans simply need to use the Cuff on their Galarian Slowpokes, and it will transform it into aGalarian Slowbro.
