Gnoggin, hosted by its creator Lockstin, is a show delving into the mysteries of Pokemon! (and other games sometimes too). Explaining everything there is to explain! Why is each Pokemon given the type it has? What are their origins? What is the lore of the Pokemon world and the design inspirations? And what does it all have to do with alchemy? Let's Go find out!

[@Druid-T]

Another inspiration for Slowking could possibly be Mad Doctors, or even Sorcerers. Slowking's entries on the website line up with how Mad Docs and Sorcerers are usually presented as morally grey to slightly evil (if they aren't the villains and presented as pure evil), but have a very deep understanding of their fields, like how (I mistakenly put Dr. initially) Victor Frankenstein was able to stitch together body parts to create his monster. And since the only difference between poison and medicine is time and dosage, if Slowking learns any form of healing/restoration moves it would truly embody that teaching, and the characteristics of mad doctors and sorcerers

[@UndeadGhostGirl]

Fun fact, Victor Frankenstein was never a doctor. He created his monster while he was still attending college and upon seeing the eyes of his creation dropped out and vowed to never dabble in science again.

Funny that you use the word "warlock", since warlocks in RPGs are known to have gained magical power by becoming bound to magical beings, some of which require tributes and sacrifices.

[@uchu1700]

I can see Slowking being basic on the Mad King George the third. George III died blind, deaf and mad on January 29, 1820. His illnesses may have been caused by porphyria, an inherited metabolic disorder, though a 2005 analysis of hair samples suggested arsenic poisoning (from medicines and cosmetics) as a possible cause. He is buried in St. George's Chapel. 👀 Note: Slowking is blind and deaf and Shellder became its eyes and ears. And he die from an illness that was caused by a medicine poisoning.

[@KestralKuthule]

Considering it's the Shellder that changes in evolution while the Slowbro doesn't, I've always just headcanoned that biting on the Slowbro is just the trigger for Shellder to evolve. Pretty cursed existence, if you ask me. You evolve and lose all autonomy or even life while someone else benefits. The Shellder taking over the Galarian Slowking is just a role reversal of that.

I agree but I understand why they didn't ghost poison fits slowkings design but that would step on gengars line and psychic is slowkings whole deal, ghost psychic makes sense but getting rid of that poison would be hard to explain and psychic poison fits that slowking and slow bro always have the same type even though its disappointing.

[@elemomnialpha]

That wouldn't make sense either If that was the case then it would be like Parasect the Shelder is the Pokemon and it's still alive Ghost maybe it's "3rd type" but both Psychic and Poison make more sense than Ghost

[@Wiggins-]

other people made good points, but but to add I can also definitely say that poison fits in the notion of parasitism being a form of illness. The slowking isn't dead, but it's sick, with the parasitic shellder having taken control of its weakened state. Not to mention that they apparently both became this way because the shellder's brain got juiced up by the "spices" produced by slowking's body, and thus another tie to the poison type.

[@nugget1631]

A little late to the party, I know, but ideally I think that slowking would have had an ability like Dhelmise's that powers up ghost type moves and it's signature move be changed to ghost type since it's so shockingly ghost type-like already.

You pointed out how trees were important for a lot of the myths.

So do you think the twigs maybe used again for Galarian Slowking, but as like a crown it wears, before Shellder becomes it's new crown? I mean it kinda ties trees to even it's design? idk

What if you kill a sloking or a Slowbro, would the shelder survive?

[@alienstar2088]

I think an interesting thing to note about Galarian Slowking is that half of its body is purple. The reason this is so interesting is because if we are to believe the Shelder upon its head is vampiric, it could be eating away at the Slowking's body. Usually when blood is unable to access certain points in the body, they become dark blue or purple from lack of blood flow. Meaning, Slowking might also be undead, much like the vampiric inspiration.

I'm going to guess the tree (and Calyrex) are what keep life in the Crown Tundra stable, but because the tree gives off a lot of dynamax energy to do that Ultra Beasts show up and start attacking and/or disturbing it similar to how they're drawn to Ultra energy. Then you have to defeat/catch them to stop the birds/regis/Calyrex losing control or something.

They sound on the surface like they could be connected until you remember Morgan's schemes basically amounted to Magical Pranks like sending the Green Knight to have his head chopped off, also when Arthur falls in battle against Mordred the first Sorceress to come heal him is his sister Morgan Ley Fey who had given up with her schemes to go live with her other Sorceress friends on the Island of Avalon.

If you play the DLC. Solgeleo and Cosmog are the reason for the legendary pokemon started showing up in the region. According to the scientist Solgeleo was the first one spotted. And in one of the NPC's houses the old lady states that she found a Cosmog and then the other legendary Pokemon started showing up.

A wooden stake, specifically from the Yew tree? Funny, cause in Russia, to kill a vampire, you need a wooden stake from the Aspen tree.

"Because British"... names Irish books/authors No, very no

[@mastermarkus5307]

British... Isles?

[@AGingerSkull]

He said British empire, so all g at the time

[@DarthSanguine]

Well actually, those books are from the 19th Century, when Ireland WAS a part of the UK. So what he told us was true - from a certain point of view. :)

[@cTc10691]

@@mastermarkus5307 nah, British Isles is not a term often used in Ireland, it's pretty much rejected by the government as colonial. Most things will just say 'Great Britain + Ireland', or simply refer to 'these islands'.

[@mastermarkus5307]

@@cTc10691 I understand that it's colonial, but I meant that he might be referring to the islands as a whole as such, being unaware.

I was thinking it mighta been just straight up inspired by Morgan Le Fay and similar figures like Dahut and the Morrigan, what with the hexes and dark spells, but now that you mentioned puppet kings and Mordred, I cannot unsee the turban shellder as Morgan controlling the slowking Mordred
