While Slowpoke gained some popularity lately, Slowking stayed a bit in the dark. The best way to get it out of the dark? Giving it a place in my “Back in the Binder” spotlight!
Illustrated by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, this card has one of the best Slowking artworks I’ve ever seen on a Pokémon card! I personally owned this card as a kid, but a fake copy of it. I have not thrown it away as of today because I really like the artwork. Can’t get it over my heart!
If you’ve read some articles on Pocket Scout before, you might know I’m a fan of Kizuki’s style. These artworks look so clean, simple and well put together that they stand out among others. It is one of the few styles that (almost) never uses any form of casting shadows.
The King’s Rock floating around adds this nice touch of yellow, giving this Slowking card a very present yet interesting item to look at.
Fan of the Slowpoke evolution line? Then maybe this Slowking is something for your collection:
