Where it came from
The Southern Islands collection was released in Japan in 1999 as a promotional set designed to accompany the release of the second Pokémon feature film. Unlike traditional expansion sets, these cards were sold in colorful, themed binder packs—the 'Rainbow' and 'Tropical' island sets—rather than standard booster packs. The illustrations aimed to depict Pokémon in their natural island habitats, moving away from the typical battle-focused imagery found in earlier series.
The artwork for the Southern Islands Slowking was created by Keiji Kinebuchi, who utilized a distinct watercolor style characterized by soft, textured brushstrokes. By choosing to feature Slowking in a serene, tropical setting, the design highlights the Pokémon’s famously lethargic and contemplative nature. Upon release, the set was praised by collectors for its cohesive aesthetic and unique presentation, remaining a distinct entry in the history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.
