Learn the best way to use the best Slowking Deck and which cards should be used to get the most out of this archetype.
While the Pokemon TCG is not unaccustomed to unorthodox plays – look at the recent return of the Rock Lock Strategy – they certainly do stand out a bit. One such deck has emerged around the Slowking from the Stellar Crown expansion. This card uses moves from other cards like N’s Zoroark or Team Rocket’s Mimikyu, but only if the Pokemon is present on the top of your deck.
So, let’s take a look at the best cards to utilize alongside such an odd playstyle befitting this Pokemon.
Pokemon TCG Best Slowking Deck Guide Overview
The strategy for this deck revolves around Slowking’s move Seek Ascension. This move lets Slowking use any move from a Pokemon that doesn’t have a Rule Box, i.e., a Pokemon ex or Pokemon V. The caveat here is that the Pokemon card has to be on the top of your deck. As such, not only does this deck consist of Pokemon cards whose attacks Slowking can use, but it also consists of cards to make sure they can be placed on top of your deck.
