# Slowking #21/122 — BREAKpoint

## Summary

Slowking is a Johto favorite, the crowned, oddly dignified evolution of everyone's beloved Slowpoke, and Water-type fans from the Gold and Silver generation keep it quietly in demand. A standard Rare in BREAKpoint, with Aya Kusube illustrating, it draws collectors more than players. At a $1.33 modelled guide, up 7% over 30 days on 72 copies traded, with 54 days of inventory on the board, 86% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.18 out of Prismatic Evolutions; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
