Collector Insights

Dark Slowbro is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 60 HP and a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It features the ability Reel In, which allows players to choose up to three Basic Pokémon and/or Evolution cards from their discard pile and add them to their hand when Dark Slowbro is played from their hand. The card’s attack, Fickle Attack, requires two Psychic energy to deal 40 damage but has a 50% chance to fail, flipping a coin to determine its effect. Dark Slowbro has no resistances but is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text describes it as a creature that prefers solitude but can be exploited by untrustworthy individuals. It was first released in the Team Rocket set as card number 12, part of the Base series, on April 24, 2000. The artwork is credited to artist Mitsuhiro Arita, and the card’s color scheme aligns with its Psychic typing, using a warm, earthy tone.

It loves nothing better than to be left alone, and so sometimes ends up being manipulated by unscrupulous people.
