Collector Insights

Slowbro is a Pokémon card from the Base series, released in the Fossil set on October 10, 1999. It is classified as a Psychic-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. The card features the ability Strange Behavior, which allows the player to move one damage counter from any of their Pokémon to Slowbro during their turn, provided Slowbro is not knocked out and is not in a status condition like Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Slowbro’s primary attack is Psyshock, a Psychic-type move that costs two Psychic energy cards, dealing 20 damage and flipping a coin to potentially Paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card’s flavor text describes a Shellder attached to Slowbro’s tail, feeding on leftover scraps from its host. Slowbro has a weakness to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card is numbered 43 and is marked as Uncommon rarity. Its design is attributed to artist Kagemaru Himeno, with a thematic color scheme of warm orange-brown.

The Shellder that is latched onto Slowpoke's tail is said to feed on the host's left-over scraps.
