Slaking Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Slaking’s "Lazy" Poké-Body is a clever TCG twist on its video-game identity, turning the species’ famous Truant drawback into a lock that shuts off the opponent’s Poké-Powers while Slaking stays Active.
Artist
This holo was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives the card extra appeal for collectors who love early-era art tied directly to the franchise’s visual history.
Set Lore
Slaking #12 comes from EX Ruby & Sapphire, the first main EX Series expansion and the first English Pokémon TCG set released after Pokémon USA took over publication, making it part of a major turning point in card history.
In-Game
As a Generation III Pokémon introduced in Ruby and Sapphire, Slaking helped define Hoenn with its unusual mix of enormous power and self-sabotaging Truant, a design contrast that made it instantly memorable to Game Boy Advance players.
Cultural Impact
Collectors often remember EX Ruby & Sapphire as the start of the Nintendo-produced era in English, so pulling a holo like Slaking feels like opening a card from the moment the TCG reinvented itself for the Hoenn generation.
