#178 Galarian Slowking V - Chilling Reign (swsh6)

Galarian Slowking V is a Darkness-type Pokémon with 220 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series' Chilling Reign set. It is numbered 178 and classified as a Rare Ultra card, with artwork by 5ban Graphics. The Pokémon has a retreat cost of three Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. Its two attacks include Concoction, which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to discard a hand card to draw three, and Word of Ruin, requiring two energy (Darkness and Colorless) to trigger a knockout of the opponent's Pokémon at the end of their next turn. A unique rule states that if Galarian Slowking V is Knocked Out, the opponent forfeits two Prize cards. The card's weaknesses and energy costs reflect its strategic role in gameplay, balancing resource management and direct impact. Its design aligns with the set's thematic focus on battle dynamics and player interaction.
