[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Dragonstrike]

If I recall waaaaay back, Ventus gave Sochi that Overgrown Shellder, and still has her number on his phone, so it might be possible to arrange a trade for the Overgrown Shellder and use it instead of just any other one. Overgrown Duo evolution might work out even better than usual, but if that is not possible Nathan could just Teleport with Kirlia to Ginger Town and go towards Vapor Falls to get a Slowking that way. Funny how our just reading up on the sloath's entry changed my plans entirely for the creature, eh?

Yeah, funny how that works.  A Shellder from Vapor Falls would be an excellent place for Nathan to evolve Slowpoke, seeing as there's a chance Slowking might pick up some info related to Mesprit or the contents of its cavern in that case, or maybe even the other members of the Lake Trio (maybe even picking up some telepathy or speech capability in the process as well?).  Teleporting back there would be quite the feat, though...but one Nathan might have to do later anyways.  Some long range Teleportation practice might be in order...(@Iron, any thought on Teleport's limitations so we aren't operating off of pure assumption?)

Sochi probably wouldn't be particularly pleased with that since Ventus caught that Shellder specifically for her.  Probably best not to even consider it unless Ventus could offer her something even better than a pearl producing Shellder that could theoretically swallow her whole (that Shellder was HUGE.  Maybe even a little TOO big for this particular Slowpoke...).

Also, off topic, but to answer your earlier question about Slowpoke using Curse since nobody else has yet, it's a 0 exp move for the dopey pokemon.  I know, it's weird.  Spiritomb, Banette, and Ferrothorn are the only other pokemon that learn the move for 0 exp.  Runner up is Steelix (4).
