Lugia, Ho-Oh, Slowking Line Promos and Translations

Edit (12 AM): Ho-Oh’s Sacred Fire actually requires a coin flip. The text for the card on the Pokemon-Card website is actually incorrect, which is what was used to translate the card. Looking at the card image shows that there is a coin flip.

The official Pokemon Card website updated today with a brand new layout and revealed two new promos. They are Lugia (047/L-P) and Ho-Oh (048/L-P), which will be given out to players who participate in Worlds 2010 qualifying tournaments in Japan. They are numbered way higher than any current promos because they will not be given out for a while.

Additionally, the website revealed clearer images for the Slowpoke, Slowbro, and Slowking promos fans can get from Domino’s Pizzas starting at the end of this month. We already had translations for Slowpoke and Slowbro, but now we have a complete translation for Slowking. All of the promos are translated below thanks to Bangiras as usual.
