# Slowbro #24/108 — Dark Explorers

## Summary

Slowbro carries a deep Kantō fanbase, built on its famously dopey charm and a Slowpoke line that never goes out of style. In Dark Explorers it was an ordinary Uncommon with a self-sabotaging Ability, so demand rests on affection and Kouki Saitou's name rather than tournament history. The modelled guide sits at $2.27, up 1% over 30 days on 17 copies traded, with 582 days of inventory on the board; a PSA 10 guides at $53, 24 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
