Originally released in Japan in 1996 through Bandai’s Carddass vending machines, this Slowbro (Pocket Monster #080) card is a vintage collectible from the “Monsters Collection” series of Pocket Monsters trading cards. The card’s artwork showcases classic anime-style Slowbro (ヤドラン) with its Shellder tail, framed by a holographic green-foil background and a bold “MONSTERS COLLECTION” title banner at the bottom. Collectors will appreciate its nostalgic, early-era design and rarity—this card even predates the official Pokémon TCG launch, marking it as a piece of the franchise’s history. Its vintage charm and distinctive Slowbro illustration make it a standout piece for any Pokémon TCG collector or retro fan.
