Slowking - 14/111 - Holo Unlimited

Slowking here was one of the first to achieve legendary status in the tcg (despite not being a legendary pokemon). Along with Sneasel, also from Neo Genesis, this baby became one of the first cards to ever be banned in all of pokemon. It's main use is obviously the effect which basically makes only one half of your opponent''s trainer cards work. Just two of these out and their trainers only work 25% of the time. What's even better is that it can utilize this nasty power from the bench severely limiting them while you continue to assault their active and/or bench with your active pokemon. There are a few downsides though, as it''s attack is costly, weak, and quite cumbersome considering the small damage output it yields. It's retreat cost, similarly, is difficult to get around, especially since it''s not a pokemon you''ll commonly want to bestow with energy. If you have to send Slowking to the active, you''ll be in a tight spot unless you have some sort of free retreat mechanic eg. Switch, Floatstone, Moonlight Stadium. Also, 80 HP is not much to live off of, so if you can't switch it back quickly, bye-bye Slowking. Overall, it's Poke-Power will likely cripple your opponent and is definitely worth running at the cost of finding some spots for a few switch in your deck.
