Exhibit A
What other examples are there? Kyurem-Black, Kyurem-White, Magnezone(?), Dugtrio(?), maybe... Barbaracle? Sort of? I'm having a hard time not including gestalts in here.

Slowbro is arguably the only Pokemon that is actually two Pokemon in one that isn't a legendary and isn't composed of several other Pokemon of the same species
>>32638934
Would Mantine count? It has Remoraids attached to its fins sometimes.
>>32638920
Metang and Metagross.
>>32638947
Hmmm
That's a good question
But the remoraids are kind of just... Swimming under its fins?? Whereas the shellder on slowbros tail is attached to it like a symbiotic parasite
>>32638934
But is that even a Shellder on Slowbro's tail? It doesn't look anything like the Shellders you find normally.
>>32638959
Not to mention the shellder undergoes an evolution alongside the Slowbro
Remoraids don't
>>32638961
Yeah it's described as a shellder in some Dex entries and on Bulbapedia
>>32638947
>>32638959
Isn't a Remoraid in the party one of the requirements for Mantyke to evolve into Mantine?
>>32639011
Yeah that's true.
Maybe it's different though because they aren't really fused together though?
Then again, Slowbro isn't really fused because if you remove the shellder from its tail it supposedly devolves back into a slowpoke
>>32639031
But the shellder undergoes a transformation, and the remoraid doesn't??

Symbiotic living is not fusion. The Slowbro and the Shellder are still separate beings.
