Domino’s Pizza Promotion in Japan: Slowpoke, Slowbro, Slowking Promos

Japanese Domino’s Pizzas are now holding a new Pokemon TCG promotion where players can earn new LEGEND-series promo cards. Last year, Domino’s held a promotion where you could receive holographic Munchlax, Snorlax, and Snorlax LV.X promos.

If you buy a kids’ meal from October 26th to December 10th, you will receive holographic Slowpoke and Slowbro promos in addition to a Pokemon TCG guidebook. The first image below shows what people can receive. Part two of the promotion takes place at an unknown time later in the year. Buying a kids’ meal during that time period will grant you another holo Slowpoke promo, a new holo Slowking promo (a Great Pokemon), and Ho-Oh and Lugia card sleeves. Partial translations of the card images are below, courtesy of Bangiras.

It is interesting to note that in Slowpoke’s first attack, there is a new, black rectangular symbol. This will apparently be a new symbol to represent “Basic Pokemon.” The new LEGEND series cards feature updated wording that makes it easier for newer players to understand the effects of cards; it seems image labels for certain game mechanics will now also be used to help with clarity.
