5 facts about this card
Dark Slowbro stands out as one of Team Rocket’s original Dark Pokémon, a mechanic the April 24, 2000 English Team Rocket set introduced to show how Rocket-raised Pokémon evolved into more aggressive, lower-HP versions.
This exact card was released in Team Rocket in two collector-favorite forms—a holo rare as 12/82 and a non-holo rare as 29/82—giving Dark Slowbro a special place among WotC-era variation hunters.
Dark Slowbro was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational visual architects of the Pokémon TCG, whose official client history includes both The Pokémon Company and Pokémon Company International.
Slowbro has a memorable anime link to Team Rocket itself, since in the Seafoam Island episode Jessie’s Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke’s tail and triggers its evolution into Slowbro before it blasts Team Rocket away.
Dark Slowbro’s flavor text about being manipulated by unscrupulous people feels especially fitting for collectors because Slowpoke’s line is tied to Team Rocket storylines across Pokémon media, including the infamous Slowpoke tail incident in Azalea Town.
