The Slowpoke (55/62) from the Pokémon Fossil 1st Edition set is a nostalgic and charming addition to any trading card collection. As a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon, this Common card captures the essence of the beloved, slow-moving creature known for its dopey demeanor and unique abilities. With a modest 50 HP, Slowpoke may not be the most powerful battler, but its gentle nature and iconic status make it a fan favorite. The artwork by Miki Tanaka beautifully illustrates Slowpoke’s calm expression and distinctive pink shell, bringing a sense of serenity to the card that appeals to collectors and fans of all ages.
This card features two notable attacks: Spacing Out and [PP] Scavenge. The Spacing Out ability offers a chance to heal itself by removing a damage counter—perfect for prolonging its time in battle—while [PP] Scavenge allows players to discard a Psychic Energy to retrieve a Trainer card from the discard pile, adding a strategic layer to deck management. With a retreat cost of just one Colorless Energy and a weakness to Psychic types, Slowpoke balances simplicity with tactical potential, making it accessible for beginners while still holding value in gameplay and collection curation.
As part of the 1999 Fossil 1st Edition expansion—the third set in the Pokémon TCG series—this card holds historical significance in the evolution of the trading card game. The Fossil set introduced ancient Pokémon revived from fossils, and Slowpoke stands out as a gentle contrast to the prehistoric powerhouses around it. In raw, ungraded condition, this card offers an authentic piece of Pokémon TCG history, ideal for collectors seeking vintage charm and sentimental value. Whether you're completing a set, building a retro deck, or preserving a piece of gaming history, the Slowpoke (55/62) Fossil 1st Edition card is a timeless treasure
