Impact of Pokémon Power
Slowking's Pokémon Power was either mistranslated or intentionally altered[citation needed] when it was brought overseas. In the original Japanese print, Mind Games only worked when Slowking was the Active Pokémon. In its US print, it could be used from the bench, allowing players to use multiple Slowking to further reduce the odds of a Trainer card being successfully played (possibly down to 1 in 16). As a result, Slowking became extremely popular, with games often coming down to who could lay down one or more Slowking first and shut down their opponent out of almost all search and draw power, all while clogging the opponent's draws and being essentially shielded from attack due to being on the Bench. Due to its widely perceived negative influence on gameplay, the card was banned from the Modified format at the end of 2002.
Origin
This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Silver.
