Not sure how to evolve Galarian Slowpoke in Pokemon GO?

This is a branched evolution, meaning Slowpoke will evolve into either Slowbro or Slowking. In Pokemon GO, Galarian Slowpoke is evolved in different ways depending on if you want Galarian Slowbro or Galarian Slowking. Read on for instructions on how to evolve Galarian Slowpoke into either of its evolutionary relatives in Pokemon GO.

How to Get More Slowpoke Candies
If you’re short on Slowpoke candies, you won’t be able to evolve Galarian Slowpoke, even if you complete the other requirements. Luckily, Kantonian and Galarian Slowpoke share the same candy, and it’s not too hard to get.
Here are all the ways to earn more Slowpoke candies:
- Catch Slowpoke, Slowbro, or Slowking (any of their variants)
- Use Pinap Berries when catching members of the Slowpoke family to increase the candy earned
- Walk Slowpoke or its evolutions as your Buddy. They earn a candy every 3km
- Use Rare Candies
- Trade any extra Slowpoke or its evolutions with a friend (note: you can’t trade it back after)
- Transfer extra Slowpoke, Slowbro, or Slowking to the professor
- Place any member of the Slowpoke family into a gym and feed them Berries
If you’re having trouble finding Slowpoke in the wild, never fear. From time to time, it’s available as an encounter reward from Field Research tasks. Slowbro and Slowking also appear in Raids occasionally. Slowbro’s Kantonian form can Mega Evolve, so it’s sometimes featured in Mega Raids, too.
