Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

After testing, Slowking Prime is Pro

A drawing MewTwo Tech!

What an awesome and innovative use of Slowking prime!!

Hat's off to you there.

I guess Cyrus grabs that tech psychic energy for you... nice.

Kinda ignoring the several other dozen Stage 1+ Psychic Pokemon that have been around for a while who deal a minimum of 60 that aren't used to counter Mewtwo Lv X aren't you? :nonono:

But anyways, in regard to the OP, eh it makes a marginally better choice than some others I suppose since it has a Poke-Power...even though it's a rather mediocre one at that.
 
Slowking has a nice Basic Slowpoke in UD though. But of course, Mewtwo counters are all up to the player. I personally agree with TheGeneral and play Mismagius, (and will most likely continue to) but that's just me.
 
Yes another Slowking follower! Slowking is such a pro card and it looks awesome on paper because if it didn't then it would be engraved on metal.

Also whoever says Slowking is only good in theorymon has never actually met Slowking. Slowking is the one who inevented theorymon. He secretly helps everyone to victory with his calculating coolness.

Slowking is the obvious choice for any deck. Why? First it gives wisdom and incite to anyone who adds it to their deck. Then it gives you an extra card every turn. Sure your opponent gets to choose, but Slowking is using reverse psychology on them inorder to give you the right card. If by some reason that they are immune to Slowking's thinking then the card is sent to the bottom of your deck. Which means you know exactly where the card you need is and is just an Underground Expedition's away. Also, you use Opponent's choice up to four times and you can get 2 cards that you need by just digging a bit because your opponent put them their ripe for the picking, which is actually reverse-reverse psychology! THERE IS NO WAY TO ESCAPE THE KING'S THOUGHTS!!!

Now, that may sound good enough but there is more.

Slowking can also attack. Sure, 60 for 3 doesn't sound that good but it can be used with only 2 attachments. The attack has no drawbacks. Which should be expected because the 'King is too mcuh involved in thought for anything else to happen. The attack, Super Psy Bolt, is actually stray brain waves from Slowking himself. Naturally, he would be able to attack from the bench but in order for the Juniors, Seniors, and even some Masters to be able to contain his superiority onto the piece of paper TCPi had to make it so he only attacks from the active position. Not only can the DCE be used to release Slowking's brain power on the opponent, but it also adds a zip to his step for him to be able retreat from your opponent if they are showing signs of mental fatigue.

This alone make Slowking one of the better cards in the game. If TCPi would have actually Unleashed Slowking by taking his off hat, that was designed by Magneto, the whole game of Pokemon would be centered around this card and this card only. People would be begging for this card to be banned like its forefather but the select few who could control its sheer awesomeness would control the entire game and form a hive mind.

Of course, all of you can thank TCPi for giving you the watered down version of the card.

**On a side note Slowking also promotes good health by eating an apple a day to keep the Brock away.

-.- I see what you did there.

I actually did not even notice that your avatar was Brock. Sorry about that.

I just put that because it rhymed with doc and he is a breeder so he takes care of pokemon. I really did not want to put Oak because I did not like how that sounded.

I am sorry. I actually like your avatar.

LoL, no it's ok I actually thought you were talking about the actual Brock, but I thought you said it because he chases girls around all the time. I was just teasing.
 
Okay. Maybe I should add something to my other post about how Slowking makes the user so desirable for their newly found intelect and makes girls want to play the game because Slowking is so pro and a stud.

If only it had Trump Card as an attack because that attack is awesome in my opinion. (And the Smash Orb in SSBB should still be called trump card or whatever it is in japanese)

What's trump card? Also, I didn't say but I liked your post.
 
This is trump card http://www.serebii.net/games/trumpcard.shtml. It actually isn't very good, but I like it.

Anywho back on topic.

Some say it is a poor man's Uxie Level X. I would highly reconsider that statement. For it is said that it is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle. So, technically Slowking is a better choice for your soul. Also, the reverse/reverse reverse psychology is too fun to pass up on.

Acutually dodrio and noctowl would outclass it in those terms, drawing a card with no prejudice is better than having your opponent choose between two. You were right about trump card though, very interesting. I could see it being an attack that does more damage for the less cards you have in hand.
 
Slowking Prime is definitely an interesting card. It helps you draw, and if you have Uxie Lv. X in play as well, you could possibly be getting 3 out of 5 cards per turn. What I don't like about it is that it has to take a Psychic and a DCE to OHKO Mewtwo. I'm not sure if the drawing benefit outweighs the energy requirement disadvantage (I haven't tested it yet) but it certainly looks like an interesting play.
 
Woah, what's going on ITT?

Donphan I seem to argue with you alot but I agree that this card looks very nice VS Mewtwo. Good job, i'm sure it'll see play.

We agreed for once? What year is it? I saw who the last poster was and I was like o noez xD. But yeah, Opponent's Choice is a nice bonus. SP runs soooooo smooth with Slowking and Uxie X out.
 
It's decent, but Driftblim or Dialga are much better choices. Sure the drawpower is nice, but Dialga shuts down Scizor, Donphan, and Vileplume while also being a good attacker. Drifblim UD is very good. First of all, it does 60 for 2. Easy to achieve with a galactic switch. The second attack really can change the game against a dialgachomp deck.

This. Why are you people wasting your time with slowking junk with blim does the job better AND can be used in several other matchups, particuarlly things like gigas and steelix where there's one giant pokemon and...you know what, on second thought, slowking is the play.
 
Baby mario I believe it was (sorry if not) made a good point. It gives your opponent a chance to
A. Put a bad card into your hand.
B. Put a good card onto the bottom of your deck.
Also, enough with the egotistic narcissistic posts people. Sabbet called it first.
