Collector Insights

Grimer is a Grass-type Pokémon with 50 HP. It features two attacks: Nasty Goo, which costs one Colorless Energy to deal 10 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Minimize, which requires one Grass Energy to reduce all damage done by attacks to Grimer during the opponent’s next turn by 20. The card was designed by artist Mitsuhiro Arita and belongs to the Base set, released in 1999 as part of the Fossil theme. Grimer has a Psychic-type weakness that doubles its damage. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy and no resistances. The flavor text describes Grimer as a creature that thrives in polluted environments, feeding on industrial sludge. Its themecolor is a muted brown, reflecting its association with decayed surroundings.

Appears in filthy areas. Thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories.
