# Slowking #85/90 — Undaunted

## Summary

Slowking carries lasting Johto affection, and as a Prime in Undaunted it was a mid-tier pull rather than a chase, with Noriko Hotta's name adding quiet interest. Its opponent-chooses draw power made it more a deckbuilder's curiosity than a tournament staple. At a $125 modelled guide, with 27 copies traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.09 out of Prismatic Evolutions; the slab is the real edge, with PSA 10s at $15,600 and a 4% observed gem rate putting about $460 of expected profit per submission.
