Pokémon Trading Card Game Slowpoke

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Slowpoke, the perpetually vacant Dopey Pokémon, as a Water-type Basic Pokémon. The artwork perfectly captures Slowpoke’s blank, daydreaming expression, lost in thoughts no one can understand, while also referencing its skill at fishing with its tail, as noted in its Pokédex entry.

As a Basic Pokémon, Slowpoke offers straightforward offensive options. Its first attack, Water Gun (cost: one Water Energy), deals 10 damage. Its second attack, Tail Whap (cost: two Water Energy), is a stronger move that deals 30 damage. These attacks provide reliable, if unspectacular, early-game pressure.

Classified as a Common card (denoted by the circle symbol), it has 70 HP. It carries a Lightning-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a three-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost, reflecting its sluggish nature. This card is the essential first step for trainers building either the Slowpoke > Slowbro or Slowpoke > Slowking evolution lines, serving as the foundational piece for these classic Water-type Pokémon.
