What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, look at the top card of your opponent's deck. Then, you may have your opponent shuffle his or her deck. This power can't be used if Dark Slowking is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Don't apply Weakness or Resistance for this attack.
Each time it yawns, the Shellder on its head releases an enzyme that makes it grow even smarter.

Where it came from
Dark Slowking was released in 2002 as part of the Neo Destiny expansion, the fourth set in the Neo Series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was unique for its introduction of Light and Dark Pokémon, which served as thematic representations of the game's evolving morality mechanics. The design process for this set was heavily influenced by the transition into the Generation II aesthetic, focusing on more intricate, textured character art that moved away from the simpler, flatter designs of the original Base Set era.
The artwork for this particular card was illustrated by Tomokazu Komiya, a long-standing artist for the franchise known for a distinct, painterly, and occasionally surreal style. In this depiction, Dark Slowking is rendered with a brooding, whimsical atmosphere that fits the 'Dark' designation, emphasizing the creature's psychic powers and enigmatic nature. Upon its release, the card was well-received by collectors who favored the expressive artistic direction that Komiya brought to the Neo block, cementing its status as a sought-after piece from the early 2000s.
