Slowpoke in the Pokémon TCG
Slowpoke has appeared many times in the Pokémon TCG, going all the way back to the Pokémon TCG: Fossil expansion in 1999. Slowpoke has sometimes been a Psychic-type Pokémon and sometimes a Water-type Pokémon in its numerous appearances over the years. Take a look at some of the Slowpoke cards that have been a part of many great decks.
Of course, Slowpoke has been a part of the Pokémon video
game series from the very beginning, when it was first encountered in the wild
in the Seafoam Islands in Pokémon Red
and Pokémon Blue. Things took a dark
turn in Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver when Team Rocket plotted
to cut the tails off the Slowpoke found in the Slowpoke Well in Azalea Town!
Slowpoke's appearances continue all the way through Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon
Alpha Sapphire, where it can be caught in a Mirage Cave, one of the special
locations accessible only by Soaring.
To further celebrate Slowpoke, the Pokémon Center has just
introduced a number of cool Slowpoke products, including T-shirts, a belt
buckle, glass tumblers, and a spiral notebook.
