Character info
The character
Slowbro is a Psychic/Water type Pokemon known for its laid-back, dim-witted demeanor, caused by a Shellder permanently clamped onto its tail. Mega Slowbro is its battle-ready Mega Evolution form, in which the Shellder engulfs its head, sharpening its focus and defensive power. The species is a classic evolution of Slowpoke, famed in the games and anime for its sluggish behavior contrasted with surprising strength.
This card
This is card 031/084 from the Pitch Black set, printed as a holo rare (RR) in 2026. It depicts Mega Slowbro ex with a Psychic-type energy icon and 330 HP, illustrated by 5ban Graphics. The artwork shows a close-up of Mega Slowbro's enlarged, shell-covered head amid swirling colorful psychic energy.
How it plays
This Stage 1 Pokemon evolves from Slowpoke and carries 330 HP with a single Psychic energy weakness icon shown at top. Its attack, Shellnado Spin, costs three Psychic energy and deals 180 damage, with an added effect that places 12 damage counters on any Pokemon that damages this one on the opponent's next turn, even if this Pokemon is knocked out. It has a weakness to Darkness (x2), a resistance of -30 to Fighting, and a retreat cost of three energy, and follows the Mega Evolution ex rule granting the opponent 3 prize cards when it is knocked out.
