Weird attack especially that you can only use it when you're about to win anyways, but I still LOVE that they're making original and fun attacks, keep it up people !
Tha way it would be extremely OP

Ok I have 3 things to say about this card even thou it's not the best card ever :
1- I love that they're doing more original attacks, bravo !
2- It's really good to see pokemon we haven't seen for a while like this one !!
3- OMG the artwork fits the attack and pokemon perfectly !!

I love this slowbro so much. Ill probably going to build a fun deck with it just because that thing is so freaking awesome!
Way to be yourself, careless hands and all, Slowbro!
I wonder if his cousin, Slowking, will make an appearance as well.

Alright, so, assuming that we won't be seeing a Slowbro BREAK (not a 100% given, but probably likely), let's take a look at some possibilities, shall we? Slowbro is 014 and Gyarados-EX is 018, so there's 3 spaces in between, and a limited number of which Pokémon could fill those spaces. Almost all of the Water-type Pokémon in between Slowbro and Gyarados are 1 Stage evolutions: Seel/Dewgong, Shellder/Cloyster, Krabby/Kingler, (Horsea/Seadra, if Kingdra is a Dragon-type), Goldeen/Seaking, Staryu/Starmie.
So, here's what could fill those 3 spaces:
1) A Water-type Slowking followed by a Basic/Stage-1 Evolution line.
2) A Basic/Stage-1 Evolution line with a BREAK Pokémon for the Stage 1.
3) A Basic/Stage-1 Evolution line with no BREAK but a Magikarp, even though Gyarados is an EX in this version.
4) A Horsea/Seadra/Kingdra Evolution line with Kingdra as a Water-type.
5) ???
I might be missing something, but those are the3 4 I thought up, and they're arranged roughly in the order of what I think would be most likely to least likely.
EDIT: Thanks to Metalizard for reminding me about Slowking. I actually considered that a possibility when first theory-crafting the post and forgot about it somewhere down the line. I've since added Slowking back in as the 1 spot (since I think it's the most likely) and bumped everything else down.

It's funny how an unprecedented effect comes out of a non-EX which proves the cliche of EXs being OP is false.
Interesting copying attack. 90 HP means it's Level Ball Searchable but it doesn't evolve into anything I'm pretty sure of it.
It can take advantage of being Fighting type so the usual perks such as Strong Energy apply and it can hit for Weakness on Mega Manectric. I like that Sudowoodo's Weakness is Water finally. TPCi has listened to me.

Why? If Night March had 1 Prize left and it was their turn, wouldn't you have already won the game since you can pump out so much damage?
Whoa, whoa, whoa! You need to actually take your 5 other prizes first for it to work. Personally I think Slowbro is bad, but maybe I could be proven wrong. It's certainly interesting at the very least.
Wut, Sudowoodo has always had Water weakness in the TCG...
Slowking.
Although, their latest trend is making Slowpoke and Slowbro Water-types, while Slowking goes for the Psychic-type team... Still, it's either Slowking and one of those Stage 1 lines or Slowking is Psychic and the stage 1 line has a BREAK, though I doubt it. It could also be a Horsea line with a Water-type Kingdra, but personally, I'm betting on Seel/Dewgong or Shellder/Cloyster since those are the lines we haven't seen for the longest time, specially Dewgong (which I think is the more likely choice).
In other news, I guess there won't be many Fire-types in this set...
unlikely. its not officially out in the video game iirc..
Hah! I actually did think about that when I was first theory-crafting the post, but then I forgot to include it when I actually started making it.
Thanks for the reminder! I'll edit that in.
Hoopa was officially announced in February and was in tonnes of promotional material for the movie. Hoopa's Unbound forme was formally revealed in May. It's first TCG appearance as Hoopa-EX was that June.
So, yes, Hoopa was out before it had a card made.
It is far too early to be seeing Volcanion in any sort of TCG form.
Just trying to find a use for the card. They might release pokemon with 500 hp.
As far as Pokémon/Game Freak is concerned, he is still secret. The fact that people have hacked the game to find him is irrelevant. Until he is formally revealed through official channels, he will not see a TCG card.
