Trivia
Origin
Slowbro's shell and lifestyle are somewhat similar to hermit crabs. Slowbro's appearance may also be based on a hippopotomus.
Name origin
Slowbro's name is a combonation of slow and bro, short for brother. It may just be used in a general sense, in the same way someone would say "hey, brother!" It could also refer to the brotherly relationship shared by the combined form of Slowpoke and Shellder.
Yadoran may be taken to mean 宿らん, to not lodge/dwell. It is also possible that the yado comes from 宿借り yadokari, hermit crab, or 宿主 yadonushi, (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 donkan means thickheaded or stolid.
In other languages
- German: Lahmus
- French: Flagadoss - Flagada means soft, weak, and molosse meaning big dog.
- Korean: 야도란 Yadoran
