Collecting Every Slowpoke and his line and regionals in every language

[PoorManVagabond]

So I’m collecting every single Slowpoke, Slowbro, Slowking, Mega Slowbro, and all the Galarian forms. In every language and including all the different promos.

I know about a lot of the Promos, but they can be hard to research in other languages. I found many of them such as the Indonesian KFC Stamp Slowpoke, but do y’all know about any of the really obscure and/or lesser known ones?

Very warm welcome to the forums @PoorManVagabond. Super lovely to have you here. We have a resident queen in @slowqueen who can probably help you out. I know she also hunts some really obscure stuff.

You can find these threads by her very useful:

Slowqueen's Slowpokes, Slowbros, and Slowkings (Update: art!)

Thank you for stopping by to look at my Slow collection! Like many of us here, I collected Pokemon cards as a kid. One day, many years later, I was going through my old cards and noticed I had five Slowpokes. I thought to myself, “what if I got more Slowpokes?” and the rest is history. It started as one whole binder page of Slowpokes, then a whole binder section, then an additional Slowpoke binder… and it just kept growing! I totally fell in love with this delightful pink creature and evolution…

Japanese & English Slowpoke, Slowbro, & Slowking Master Set List (with Cameo Art Set)

Hi all, I want to share my master set list of all printed English & Japanese Slowpoke, Slowbro, and Slowking cards. I figure this may be useful for the 2 other people in the world who want to collect all the silly pink friends. This post is very much inspired by the @JoshsOddCollection Oddish set list This list includes all print variants, including things like the 3rd print edition Australian Fossil copyright variant, as well as EX serial codes. If I’m missing anything, please…

I wish you a lovely time on the forums and also fun and success in your collection goals!

Cheers!

Hello @PoorManVagabond it’s very nice to meet another Slow collector! @mrbubbles has linked my relevant threads already, but please let me know if there’s anything specific you need help finding and I can do my best to point you in the right direction.

[PoorManVagabond]

I havent pushed much research on the 99 prints(unlimited) but ive found 5 versions with a -15 degree magenta layer on the back.

The first two are first edition and “unlimited”. Second 2 are “3rd print” USA printings. The 5th one looks like its UK and the last one i believe was printed by carta mundi. Havent acquired an australian poke yet.

Dont know how deep you plan on going

[PoorManVagabond]

I plan on going as deep as I can. I know for the Australian one, it has a 1999-2000 on the bottom and I have on my list the English first edition and unlimited, but how do you identify the others?

[Nightvulture]

you need to look close. Can distinguish them by their print patterns, card stock and the ink used.

[PoorManVagabond]

Oh gotcha. Ya I’m going collecting the cards that have intentional printed differences. Such as stamps and like the Australian Fossil Set has a 1999-2000 listed on the bottom. Stuff like that. Good luck to you tho. That’s gunna be an intense set.
