Every Slowpoke card

The short version

Slowpoke has eight printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across six expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Promo B. It is a Basic Water and Psychic-type Pokémon printed at between 60 and 70 HP, weak to Lightning, with a retreat cost of 2. They run to three rarities — five Commons, two Art Rares and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Mega Shine, at about 1 in 670 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 1,543 packs, which is about 2.1 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of eight different packs. The most recent is Slowpoke #042, from an expansion that shipped in October 2025. That printing attacks with Headbutt for 30. The card’s own words: “It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. It is good at fishing with its tail.” It has been drawn by seven artists, Miki Tanaka more than anyone else with two cards.
