Collector Insights

Grimer is a Grass-type Pokémon with 40 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Poison Gas, which costs one Grass energy and inflicts the Asleep status on the defending Pokémon without dealing damage, and Sticky Hands, requiring two Grass energies to deal 10 damage plus an additional 20 if a coin flip lands heads, inducing Paralysis on the defending Pokémon. The card has no resistances and is weak to Psychic-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its flavor text describes Grimers as creatures formed in waste-processing plants and capable of infiltrating towns through sewers. The card was released in the Base series as part of the Team Rocket set on April 24, 2000, with a Common rarity and card number 57. Artist Kagemaru Himeno designed the illustration, and the card’s theme color aligns with its Grass typing through a light green palette. The card’s rules and regulations are unspecified, but its straightforward mechanics emphasize status effects and damage variability.

It has recently been found that Grimers are formed in waste-processing plants, and can move into towns via sewers.
