You can still play the SI Slowking (which I think is a better card) and Dark Slowking from Neo Destiny.

If heads, that card does nothing. Put it on top of your opponent's deck. This power can't be used if Slowking is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. * * * A few months ago during a battle, my opponent had two Slowking (Neo Genesis). In order to use my trainer, my opponent would have to flip twice to get tails so I could use my trainer. Having at least a heads, I could not use a trainer. This made it difficult to be victorious against the opponent. If this is related to peed, then perhaps the speed of decks may be faster. -------------------- AIM: BoHockeyDragon, Pranger103 E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] From: Greenville, SC | Registered: Apr 2002  |  IP: Logged IPGeek21 Member # 184 posted December 12, 2002 08:17 PM             I must read the chat... too bad BECAUSE this game is AFTER ALL about METAGAMING...

Slowking simply gives it's player to big of an advantage over his opponent. At least Chaos Gym and Dark Vileplume affect both players equally. The enviroment has become: Either play Slowking, or design your deck to beat Slowking (often BOTH). Contrary to what others have been posting, I believe this will make the field much more wide open. You can build a deck that doesn't have to be set up 2nd turn for fear of the 'King shutting your drawing down. So it's the end of Iggly, too? Yeah, I guess so, but so what? It wasn't good for anything except countering 'King, anyway.

Igglybuff will just vanish for lack of Slowking. I believe that Cleffa should have been banned with Slowking (or even Sneasel). Cleffa is too overused.
