Pokémon Trading Card Game Slowking

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Slowking, the supremely intelligent Royal Pokémon, as a Stage 1 Water-type Pokémon. The dignified artwork by Oswaldo KAFO captures Slowking’s calm and collected demeanor, reflecting its incredible intellect and intuition mentioned in its Pokédex entry.

Slowking excels at tactical disruption rather than raw power. Its single attack, Wash the Slate Clean (cost: three Water Energy), deals a moderate 70 damage. Its true strength lies in its optional effect: you may “put 2 Energy attached to your opponent’s Active Pokémon into their hand.” This can severely delay or even completely shut down an opponent’s primary attacker, buying you crucial time.

Classified as an Uncommon card (denoted by the diamond symbol), it has a sturdy 130 HP. It carries a Lightning-type Weakness (x2), no Resistance, and a three-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. This card is an excellent strategic choice for control-oriented Water decks, using its unique disruptive ability to outmaneuver opponents and control the pace of the game.
