Collector Insights

Slowpoke is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori, part of the Unnumbered Promos set released in 1996. The card has a theme color of #b79481 and a base HP of 40. It includes two attacks: Headbutt, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage, and Amnesia, requiring two Psychic energies to prevent the defending Pokémon from using a selected attack during the opponent’s next turn. The Amnesia attack’s effect limits the defending Pokémon’s available moves temporarily. Slowpoke’s design reflects its association with psychic-type abilities, though the card does not specify additional traits. The card’s structure adheres to standard Pokémon TCG formatting, with clear energy costs and damage values. It remains a notable entry in the early Pokémon TCG collection due to its release date and artistic style.
