What it does
When you play Dark Slowbro from your hand, choose up to 3 Basic Pokémon and/or Evolution cards from your discard pile and put them into your hand.
Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.
It loves nothing better than to be left alone, and so sometimes ends up being manipulated by unscrupulous people.

Where it came from
Dark Slowbro was released as part of the Team Rocket expansion in 2000, which was the first Pokémon Trading Card Game set to introduce the concept of 'Dark' Pokémon. Designed to mirror the villainous Team Rocket faction, these cards featured darker color palettes and specialized gameplay mechanics that emphasized a more aggressive, slightly mischievous style of play compared to the base set cards.
The artwork for this card was created by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the franchise's most iconic illustrators. Arita’s portrayal of Dark Slowbro captures the character’s classic vacant, somewhat dazed personality while integrating the gloomier aesthetic mandated by the set's theme. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike, becoming a hallmark of the early era of Pokémon expansions.
