Provenance

Where it came from

The Slowpoke card numbered 042/198 is a common card featured in the Scarlet & Violet base expansion, released by The Pokémon Company in early 2023. This set marked a significant transition in the trading card game, introducing the Scarlet & Violet era with updated card borders and a new holographic design for rare cards, while standard cards like this one continued the long-standing tradition of showcasing diverse artistic styles within the core deck.

The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Shibuzoh, a frequent contributor to the Pokémon TCG who often captures the whimsical and relaxed essence of Pokémon in their natural habitats. The design maintains the classic, leisurely aesthetic associated with Slowpoke, aiming to ground the character in a tranquil setting that reflects its notoriously sluggish behavior. Upon release, it was widely received by players and collectors as a functional, accessible staple for the base set, appreciated for its clean, modern layout and consistent character depiction.
