What it does
Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing.
Its long tail often breaks off. It doesn't really feel any pain, though, and the tail grows back, so Slowpoke isn't particularly bothered.

Where it came from
The 2018 Pokémon McDonald's Collection was released as part of an ongoing promotional partnership between The Pokémon Company and the fast-food chain. Intended to coincide with the broader marketing efforts for the franchise, these cards were distributed in Happy Meals across participating regions, offering a simplified play experience meant to attract younger players to the trading card game.
The card features the Psychic-type Slowpoke, utilizing art style and layout standards common to the era's expansions. While the set is often viewed by collectors as a more accessible entry point compared to main expansion sets, the 2018 collection remains a notable example of the long-standing cross-promotion that has introduced countless individuals to the hobby since the late 1990s.
