Its Poké-Power, Second Sight, lets you rearrange the top three cards of either player’s deck, giving this card a crafty, control-style effect that perfectly matches Slowking’s calm, calculating flavor text.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, an artist collectors love for storybook-like Pokémon scenes, which gives this holo Slowking a distinctive hand-drawn charm compared with flashier modern holos.
In-Game
Slowking itself is a Johto-era evolution introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver, where players could only obtain it by trading Slowpoke while it held a King’s Rock, making it one of Generation II’s most memorable special evolutions.
Card History
For many fans, Slowking’s biggest spotlight came in Pokémon: The Movie 2000, where it appeared as a wise, talking guardian figure, reinforcing the regal and intelligent identity this card leans into.
