Provenance

Where it came from

Released in October 2005 as part of the EX Delta Species expansion, this card reflects the creative shift toward the 'Delta Species' mechanic, which introduced Pokémon with elemental types differing from their traditional biological classifications. The set was inspired by the fictional Holon Research Tower, a setting where experiments in electromagnetic waves were theorized to mutate Pokémon, resulting in unique type variations like this Water-type Slowpoke.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kyoko Umemoto, known for her clean, soft-focus style that often emphasizes the gentle personality of the subject. In this instance, the design focuses on the character's signature vacant expression, perfectly capturing the classic Slowpoke aesthetic while integrating it into the thematic constraints of the Delta Species line, which was well-regarded by collectors for its experimental approach to Pokémon typing and the unique 'Delta' holofoil stamp.
