Pokemon Sword and Shield Have Galarian Slowpoke join the game as a free update. There is a specific way to evolve this unique Slowpoke to evolve it into a Galarian Flagadoss.
First, you need to make sure your game has been updated on your Nintendo Switch to add Galarian Slowpoke to the game. After the update, fly over Wedgehurst Station in the town between Routes 1 and 2. Enter the station to activate the event to receive the Pokémon. If you have Sword you will talk to Klara, and if you have Shield you will talk to Avery. The Galarian Slowpoke enters during the exchange. You will have the chance to fight it and catch it.
Now that you have Galarian Slowpoke on your team, evolving Galarian Flagadoss is next on your list. However, you will not be able to do so immediately. Currently, to evolve Galarian Slowpoke into Galarian Flagadoss, you need to evolve it using a specific item that you only receive from Isle of Armor, which is the first brand new expansion pack coming to Sword. and Shield later this year in June. The same goes for Galarian Roigada, which you need an item from the Crown Tundra region, the second DLC releasing later this year in the fall.
While you can train and try out your new Galarian Slowpoke until the Isle of Armor expansion arrives, you won't be able to turn it into a Flagadoss or Roigada. We don't know what exclusive items you will need and how to receive them. When we do, we'll update this guide to reflect that information.
