Slowking

Description

The Pokémon Call of Legends set, released in 2011, offers a unique addition to any TCG collection with card number 32, featuring the Psychic-type Pokémon Slowking. This release is distinguished by its Reverse Holo finish, a treatment that appeals to collectors seeking visual variety within the set's standard rarity structure. Created by artist Sumiyoshi Kizuki, the card captures Slowking’s reputation for incredible intellect and calm intuition, traits that are reflected in its gameplay mechanics. As a Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Slowpoke, this card holds 80 HP and provides strategic depth through its 'Second Sight' ability. This ability allows players to look at the top three cards of either player's deck and rearrange them, offering a tactical advantage in deck management. Its attack, Psyshock, deals 30 damage and includes a coin flip mechanic that can paralyze the defending Pokémon, adding an element of unpredictability to battles. Slowking’s role as a utility-focused Pokémon rather than a high-damage attacker makes this card an interesting piece for enthusiasts who appreciate strategic gameplay over raw power. The Reverse Holo parallel adds aesthetic value, making it a desirable target for those building specialized collections or completing the full set. Whether you are a seasoned collector focusing on set completion or a player interested in the historical context of Pokémon TCG designs, this card represents a distinct moment in the franchise's trading card history. The combination of its strategic abilities, unique finish, and place within the 2011 Call of Legends expansion makes it a worthwhile addition to any focused collection.
