# Slowpoke #042/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Slowpoke is a bulk common in a base set, a pull that fills a binder page rather than sets a pulse racing. The Kantō Water type's sleepy charm keeps it beloved, and Narumi Sato's name gives completionists a small reason to sleeve a spare. At a $0.17 modelled guide, down 15% over 30 days on 89 copies traded, with 244 days of inventory on the board, 18% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.14 out of Pitch Black; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
