Item Condition

This is a foil single of Slowbro from ME05: Pitch Black, numbered 090/084 — a secret rare sitting beyond the set's printed count, which is part of what makes it special. The image shown is a standard catalog image for this card and printing, not a photograph of the specific copy in hand. This card's condition is as described in the listing.

Item Description

Slowbro has always occupied a wonderfully peculiar corner of the Pokemon universe — the drowsy, contemplative Hermit Crab Pokemon who stumbled into psychic power almost by accident. A Shellder latched onto Slowpoke's tail, and suddenly one of the most laid-back creatures in the Pokedex became a genuine force to be reckoned with. That paradox between appearance and ability is a huge part of Slowbro's enduring charm, and it has translated beautifully across decades of TCG printings. Collectors who appreciate Pokemon with genuine personality tend to have a soft spot for this one.

The ME05: Pitch Black set belongs to the Japanese Pokemon Card Game's Master Set line, a series that has carved out a devoted following among serious collectors for its unique card pool and distinctive aesthetic direction. Pitch Black leans into darker, moodier visual themes that set it apart from the brighter, more playful sets in the mainline expansions — making its foil cards particularly striking on a table or in a binder sleeve. The contrast between the shimmering foil treatment and the set's shadowy art style gives each card an almost cinematic quality.

What makes this copy especially noteworthy is the secret rare numbering. At 090/084, it sits beyond the official set total, which is exactly what collectors chase when hunting a set to true completion. Secret rares carry an extra layer of prestige — they reward the patient collector who isn't satisfied stopping at the last "official" card. Finding one in foil adds another dimension to that appeal, catching light in a way that flat cards simply cannot match.

From a gameplay standpoint, Slowbro has seen various iterations across the TCG that lean into its Psychic typing and defensive staying power, making it a recurring presence in both casual and competitive builds for players who enjoy bulkier, strategically minded archetypes. Whether you're building a Psychic-type themed deck or simply appreciate what Slowbro brings to the table mechanically, this card has genuine utility alongside its collector appeal.

This card is a great fit for Pokemon TCG collectors hunting secret rares and full set completions, fans of the Japanese Master Set releases, Slowbro devotees building a dedicated binder, or players drawn to foil cards that make their decks visually pop.
