History
Slowking is a Water/Psychic-type Pokémon introduced in the second generation, renowned for its intelligence and wisdom, often depicted as a leader. Its evolution from Slowpoke requires a King's Rock and a trade, symbolizing its unique status and intellectual prowess.
The Slowking 100/198 card is part of the "Chilling Reign" expansion, released in June 2021. This set introduced many Pokémon from the Galar region, including Galarian forms and Battle Styles. It is well-known for its icy landscapes and creatures adapted to cold environments, providing a rich context for collectors.
