What does being a Water card do for Slowpoke 19?

What knocks out Slowpoke 19 in one hit, and what does it knock out?

Why this card was picked to stand opposite

Of the 871 cards in the archive that can remove Slowpoke 19 in a single attack, this one clears the bar by the smallest margin — 40 printed damage against a bar of 35. Anything printed higher removes it just as surely, so this is where the line actually sits, and this print is legal in Standard play today.

What is Slowpoke as a Pokémon, across every card it has been printed on?

Slowpoke 19 is one print of Slowpoke. The figures below are about the Pokémon rather than this single card — how many times it has been printed, how tough those prints run, and how many of them can still be played.

Slowpoke has been printed 40 times, and the printed numbers move from one print to the next. Point at a card to see it full size.Tap a card to open its page.

Is this the strongest Slowpoke print, and can the older ones still be played?

40 prints carry this name in the archive, and 39 of them are laid out below. They share a Pokémon but not a card — printed HP, printed damage and tournament legality all move from one print to the next.

Bar height and the number above each bar = highest HP that year; the two digits below = the year.

Rows run from the toughest print down. Bars are printed HP, measured against the toughest print of this name shown here (250 HP), and the highlighted row is the card this page is about.

Slowpoke 19 — frequently asked questions

How much damage does it take to knock out Slowpoke 19?

Slowpoke 19 has 70 HP and a Lightning weakness at ×2, so a Lightning attack printed at 35 damage or more removes it in one turn. Any other type has to print the full 70.

What is the retreat cost of Slowpoke 19?

2 Energy, discarded from this card to move it out of the active spot. Retreating is allowed once per turn.

Does this page say how good Slowpoke 19 is in a deck?

No. Every figure here is read from the printed card. Deck lists, tournament results and win rates are not published on this site, because the card files it reads do not contain them.
