# Slowbro #083 — MEP Black Star Promos

## Summary

Slowbro has been a Kantō fan favorite since Red and Blue, beloved for its placid, unbothered charm, and Yuriko Akase is a respected name among Pokémon illustrators. As a Black Star Promo, it was never a pack pull, so demand comes from completionists and Slowpoke-line collectors. At a $67 modelled guide, down 5% over 30 days on 36 copies traded, with 32 days of inventory on the board, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Pitch Black; no PSA population is on file.
