Collector Insights

Slowking is a Psychic-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featured in the Southern Islands set released in 2001. Its design is attributed to artist Naoyo Kimura, and its flavor text describes a demeanor that exudes quiet authority. The card offers two attacks: "Revelation," which requires a Psychic Energy to flip a coin, granting the player a Trainer card from their deck if heads, and "Psychic," demanding Psychic and Colorless Energy to deal 10 damage plus 10 for each attached Energy card. Slowking’s retreat cost consists of two Colorless Energy, and it lacks resistances but is weak to Psychic attacks multiplied by two. The card’s thematic color scheme aligns with its Psychic typing, using a warm tone to reflect its enigmatic presence. As a non-Standard card, it remains part of the Other series, emphasizing its historical significance in the Pokémon TCG. Its unique mechanics and strategic potential make it a notable entry in the Southern Islands expansion.

Its nonchalant reaction to everything somehow gives this Pokémon an imposing presence.
