Where it came from
The Slowpoke card numbered 12/68 was released in 2019 as part of the Hidden Fates expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was notable for its emphasis on shiny Pokémon and its inclusion of a 'Shiny Vault' subset, which drew significant attention from collectors looking to secure alternate-color versions of classic creatures. As a common card, this Slowpoke served as a bridge between the set's high-value chase cards and the broader narrative of the Alolan region, which heavily featured the sleepy, water-type version of the character.
The card features an illustration by Midori Harada, a long-standing artist for the Pokémon franchise whose style often emphasizes the gentle, whimsical nature of the creatures. Harada's design for this card captures the character in a tranquil pose, aligning with the typical behavior of Slowpoke in the Pokémon lore. Because it is a common rarity, it was widely distributed across booster packs and collection boxes, making it a staple of the set's composition rather than a rare target for secondary market investment.
