#27 Slowpoke - Mystery of the Fossils (mystery-of-the-fossils)

Slowpoke is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Miki Tanaka, part of the "Mystery of the Fossils" set released on June 21, 1997. It is classified as a Common rarity card with a theme color of #b69a7f. The card's supertype is Pokémon, and it has 50 HP. Slowpoke has two distinct attacks. The first, Spacing Out, requires one Colorless Energy and involves flipping a coin to potentially remove a damage counter from the Pokémon. If the coin lands heads, a damage counter is removed, but the attack cannot be used if no counters are present. The second attack, Scavenge, costs two Psychic Energy cards and allows the player to discard one Psychic Energy attached to Slowpoke. In exchange, the player gains a Trainer card from their discard pile. These abilities highlight the card's strategic interaction with damage counters and resource management.
