Provenance

Where it came from

The Slowking card, numbered 48/147, was released in the Burning Shadows expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in August 2017. This set was part of the Sun & Moon series, which focused on the Alola region and introduced the powerful GX mechanic to the game. Slowking serves as a traditional Rare card within this set, representing the psychic-type evolution of Slowpoke as it appeared during this era of competitive play.

The artwork for this card was illustrated by sui, who captured Slowking in a serene, meditative pose consistent with the creature's established lore as a highly intelligent and reflective Pokémon. The design utilizes the standard frame aesthetics of the Sun & Moon era, characterized by vibrant borders and distinct holographic patterns. Upon its release, it was regarded by collectors as a foundational piece for players building psychic-themed decks, appreciated for its accessible design and role in completing the set's roster.
