Great art but what's the likelihood of this being a rare in the English release...

Wow, this may very well be my second favourite Slowbro card artwork wise (right after the Team Rocket card). Gotta love the fact that he will probably never reach the berry because the shell doesn't seem to be cooperating.
The artwork reminds me of the cards from the Southern Islands expansion. That set was gorgeous!
I think a certain someone is gonna throw this. N from the Pokemon Evolutionaries.
That is exactly the comment I was going to make, the exeggutor pair in the background blend the southern island feel with the alola setting something nice.
Nah he'll kill them while they're young
Ayyyyyyyyyyyy!Nah he'll kill them while they're young
Exactly what I was going to say haha, it's lovely! Not sure I rate the card itself, though.
Just compared the two Slowbro cards (the old school Rocket one, with this one). Then the power creep really becomes visable haha;
60 HP vs 110 HP
40 (flip a coin, if tails nothing, so basically 20) vs 50 + 80.
I remember when HP and attacks like that were only available to Charizard, but your whole deck would run out of energy after two/three hits

I am so happy that most of the sun and moon card artwork were did NOT have computer Graphics. This art reminds me of artwork from Fossil and Jungle!
Old school! Also I don't think anyone's seeing the potential of this yet. I love it as a tech tbh, possibly 4-4 if there's deck space.
MY EVALUATIONS
- Slowblow - Amnesia is a decent attack. Many powerful cards rely on one powerful attack like Yveltal (Y Cyclone is still decent). This could help. Facade not Endeavor still also decent.
That is nice. Slowbro could make a good card with a deck. If you wanted to make a Slowking deck (Breakpoint) that is. Otherwise it will be good for standard.
Endeavor is a set amount of damage + a variable amount of damage for each heads (it's usually flip 2 or 3 coins, x+ 20 for each heads). As Mr. Rhyperior pointed out, the attack the translator misinterpreted Endeavor as was probably Facade.

These Sun/Moon artworks are really awesome. Haven't been this excited about the ''normal'' cards since Neo Destiny I believe. It's like they really put some love in it again.
Why is it that the Sugimori and TCG art (so far) look so derpy while its in-game model is so cute?
Not really a fan of that Sandshrew, but I love that Sandslash!
