Slaking [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Slaking made its TCG debut in EX Ruby & Sapphire, and this card’s "Lazy" Poké-Body is a clever translation of its signature Ability Truant by shutting off the opponent’s Poké-Powers while Slaking is Active.
In-Game
In the main-series games, Slaking is defined by Truant, the drawback Ability introduced with it in Generation III, so this card’s huge damage output paired with a forced pause on the next turn feels very faithful to how Slaking battles in Ruby and Sapphire.
Set Lore
Because this Slaking comes from EX Ruby & Sapphire, it belongs to the very first English set of the EX era, giving the Reverse Holo version extra nostalgic appeal as one of the cards that helped launch Pokémon’s Game Boy Advance generation in the TCG.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, which gives this card an added collector pull as a portrait of Slaking by one of the most historically important artists in the franchise.
Cultural Impact
Slaking is especially memorable to Hoenn fans because Norman’s Slaking became one of the defining roadblocks of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, helping this card capture the same intimidating reputation the species earned in the games and anime.
