Dark Slowbro [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Dark Slowbro comes from the landmark Team Rocket expansion, the first English Pokémon TCG set to introduce Dark Pokémon and the sinister alternate-evolution theme that made Rocket holos feel radically different from earlier WotC cards.
Card History
Its Pokémon Power, Reel In, let players recover up to three Basic or Evolution cards from the discard pile the moment Dark Slowbro was played from hand, giving this holo a distinctly sneaky Team Rocket-style comeback effect.
Artist
Dark Slowbro was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the defining artists of the early Pokémon TCG era, which gives this card extra appeal for collectors who chase iconic WotC artwork lineages.
Card History
Slowbro's strange evolution story was a memorable part of the original anime too, where a Shellder biting Slowpoke's tail triggered its evolution in 'The Evolution Solution,' making Dark Slowbro feel tied to one of Kanto's weirdest early anime moments.
Cultural Impact
For vintage collectors, a 1st Edition Dark Slowbro holo captures peak year-2000 Rocket nostalgia because the English Team Rocket release arrived on April 24, 2000 and was printed in both 1st Edition and unlimited, making the stamped version especially emblematic of early Pokémon boom-era collecting.
