Evolved Pokemon are usually some of the most popular inclusions in the Pokemon TCG offering an opportunity to capture a Pokemon in its full glory, with some scenes including both evolved and unevolved forms. Slowking is one of Slowpoke's evolutions and was introduced in Generation Two, making it one of the most valuable Pokemon from that period.

Pokemon TCG gave fans another unique way to enjoy their favorite franchise. The expansions were loved and these are the best ones.
PostsHowever, despite missing out on inclusion among the most famous 151 Pokemon that originated in Kanto, Slowking features an impressive collection of cards from valuable vintage sets. Despite its age, Slowking remains relevant and continues to get new cards that have the potential to earn a place among Slowking's most expensive cards ever.
Cards are ordered according to their TCGPlayer Market Price, which you might pay on average for a copy of the (first edition, where applicable) cards below.
Given the age and rarity of these cards, only those with an established market price on TCGplayer are included.
However, sale prices differ depending on the card's condition, so this market price is just a rough idea of the card's value.
6 Slowking (Prime): Undaunted (Ultra Rare) – $19.82
Eating Well
Undaunted sometimes flies under the radar, despite its rarity and collection of fantastic cards like this Slowking Prime. The illustration of Slowking with a partially eaten apple glimmering in the light is both perfectly fitting and somewhat unexpected, as this card stands apart from the other depictions of this Pokemon.
While this card's art may be timeless, its value isn't, as you'll notice this card fluctuating between the $18 to $22 range, selling according to market conditions with clean copies commanding the highest amounts. However, the highest recent sale for this card sits at $20.
5 Dark Slowking: Neo Destiny First Edition (Rare) – $23.97
Time To Laugh Or Cry?
First edition cards can command almost unthinkable sums, with the best cards from Neo Destiny reaching absurd heights that would seem impossible if you were unfamiliar with Pokemon. This bizarre Dark Slowking is one of its most valuable cards, but also easily the most difficult to explain, as its interpretation of Slowking is both amusing and terrifying.

PostsWhile first edition copies are rare, luckily this Dark Slowking from Neo Destiny appears for sale in a variety of conditions on TCGplayer, with moderately played (MP) cards starting at $13. Lightly played (LP) copies can sell for similar amounts, with a sale of $14.35, while near-mint (NM) copies represent the most desirable end of the market, with some cards fetching $28.
4 Dark Slowking: Team Rocket Returns (Reverse Holo) – $24.27
The King's Dark Side
The Dark Slowking from Team Rocket Returns features a much darker art for Slowking, both in terms of lighting and tone, as the Pokemon elicits much more sinister vibes in this card. While Slowking is usually depicted as a benevolent Pokemon, this evil iteration is somehow even more off-putting than a Pokemon normally associated with Team Rocket, as Slowking's turn to evil is a terrifying betrayal.
The reverse holo version of this card caps out around $63 for an NM copy, with LP following those at closer to $43. However, the Holo version lags behind its peer, as the cleanest Holo copies can only command about $27.
3 Slowking: Southern Islands (Promo) – $36.56
A Vacation With Friends
Slowking was lucky enough to be one of the Pokemon selected to appear in the Southern Islands promo set, featuring select Pokemon in slice-of-life scenes with their friends. This version captures an adorable moment with Psyduck and Bellsprout flanking a jubilant Slowking.

PostsThis card's price is maintaining an upward trajectory, with HP copies selling for about $15, MP cards trading at $18, followed by LP copies at around $19.50, with the biggest jump reserved for NM cards, for which you should expect to pay about $36.
2 Slowking: Aquapolis (Holo Rare) – $80.00
The View From The Top
Aquapolis is a legendary set with an eye-popping roster of valuable cards that are some of the most difficult to find on TCGplayer, particularly in good condition. Slowking seems set on taking in the scenery, as we watch it gaze out into a beautiful holo pattern that features plenty of glimmering sparkles and blotches.
Unfortunately, finding a copy of this card can be as difficult as picking a single drop of water out of the ocean, as there are only a handful of recent sales that range from about $33 for cards in HP condition and soaring as high as $91.49, with an LP card setting that mark.
1 Slowking: Neo Genesis First Edition (Holo Rare) – $81.55
An Explosion Of Cosmos Perfection
The Slowking from Neo Genesis is one of the most recognizable cards from that iconic set, boasting a respectable market price, though it can't compete with the Lugia chase card. The large amount of space to Slowking's left is perfect for cards from the Cosmos Holo Era, as they can feature swirls.
Swirls are whirlpool patterns formed from the glimmering stars on the holo.
If you're interested in owning this gorgeous first edition card, you can find it for as little as $29.99 in HP condition if you're not interested in a perfect copy. However, LP copies eclipse HP by a significant margin, fetching about $90 with some of the cleanest NM copies capping out at $100.
