Provenance

Where it came from

The Slowpoke card numbered 42/214 is part of the Unbroken Bonds expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which was released in May 2019. This set centered on the concept of TAG TEAM Pokémon, introducing powerful pairings that shifted the competitive landscape of the time. As a common card, this Slowpoke serves as a standard foundational element within the set, providing a reliable Water-type entry that facilitates the broader mechanics introduced in the expansion.

The illustration for this card was created by artist Yuka Morii. Known for her unique style, Morii typically crafts her Pokémon scenes using physical clay models which are then photographed. Her design for this Slowpoke captures the creature's characteristic vacant and relaxed demeanor, rendered with a tactile quality that distinguishes her work from the series' more traditional digital illustrations. The card was well-received by players and collectors who appreciate Morii's long-standing and distinct aesthetic contribution to the franchise.
