Slowking is one of those quietly charming cards from the Southern Islands set, released back in 2001 and illustrated by Naoyo Kimura in that soft, tropical style the set is known for. It's listed as a Common, which surprises a lot of people once they see what it actually sells for these days. If you're trying to pin down Slowking's value, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $191, but that's really just the starting point of the story.

The collector's take on Slowking

Is Slowking worth grading?

So is Slowking worth grading? It depends on how honest you want to be with yourself about the odds. A raw copy sits at $191, a Grade 9 jumps to $1,211, and a PSA 10 commands $12,101, which works out to about 63.5 times the raw price. That's a serious gap, and it's tempting to send every copy you own straight to a grading company. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card this old, and grading takes time, costs money regardless of the result, and there's always a chance your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, or lower. If you've got a copy that looks sharp with clean edges and centering, it's worth considering. If it's got soft corners or print lines, you may be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.

How rare is Slowking?

Across all grading companies, only 3,071 copies of Slowking have been graded, and just 90 of those made it to PSA 10. When you sit with those numbers, the scarcity at the top starts to make sense. Getting a perfect copy graded isn't just about sending it in, it's about finding one that was well preserved for over two decades, and that pool is small. That kind of thinness at the gem mint level is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else.

Where can you pull Slowking?

We've tracked 46 recorded pulls of Slowking across courtyard, tilt-rips, and collector-crypt, so it does show up, just not constantly. It's turned up in packs like The Amazing Chase Encore, The Amazing Chase Gold+, Pokemon Ultimate Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack, and the biggest single pull we've logged came in at $2,091. That's the kind of detail a price guide won't tell you, since it comes from watching real rips happen on real sites. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is Slowking worth?+

A raw, ungraded Slowking from the Southern Islands set is valued at $191. Graded copies climb fast from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $1,211 and a PSA 10 reaching $12,101, so condition makes a huge difference to the final price.

Is Slowking worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 63.5 times the raw price. But only 90 out of 3,071 graded copies have hit that PSA 10 mark, so gem mint is rare, and grading is a real financial risk if your copy doesn't come back perfect.

What set is Slowking from?+

Slowking #14 comes from the Southern Islands set, released in 2001. It's a Common card illustrated by Naoyo Kimura, which makes its high graded value a fun surprise for collectors who assume common cards stay cheap.
