Dark Slowbro Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Dark Slowbro is part of the 2000 Team Rocket expansion, the set that introduced Dark Pokémon to the TCG and gave familiar Kanto evolutions a more sinister, villain-themed identity.
Set Lore
This card is the non-holo rare counterpart to Dark Slowbro from the same set, meaning collectors can chase both versions of the same Rocket-era artwork concept in Team Rocket.
In-Game
Dark Slowbro feels especially fitting for Team Rocket because Slowbro’s game lore says it evolves when a Shellder bites Slowpoke’s tail, a bizarre transformation that already gives the species one of Kanto’s strangest origin stories.
In-Game
Several Pokédex entries say Slowbro can revert to an ordinary Slowpoke if the Shellder on its tail comes off, which makes Dark Slowbro’s flavor text about being manipulated feel even more eerie to longtime fans.
Artist
Dark Slowbro was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most iconic artists in Pokémon TCG history, whose work has appeared on Pokémon cards since the franchise’s earliest years.
