Provenance

Where it came from

The Slowpoke card from the Neo Genesis expansion was released in 2000 as part of the first set to introduce Generation II Pokémon to the global trading card game. This set marked a significant transition, moving beyond the original 151 Pokémon and integrating new mechanics, such as the Dark and Steel energy types, to reflect the mechanics of the Pokémon Gold and Silver video games.

The illustration was rendered by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, a recurring artist for the Pokémon TCG throughout the late 1990s and 2000s. Kizuki’s design emphasizes the character’s well-known lethargic temperament, capturing a simple, static pose consistent with the common rarity designation of the card. Upon release, the set was received as a milestone for the franchise, successfully maintaining player interest by expanding the available roster of creatures.
