Collector Insights

Koga's Muk is a Grass-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. Its primary attack, Sludge Whirlpool, requires two Grass and one Colorless energy to deal 40 damage. The card includes a unique ability called Energy Drain, which activates when an opponent's attack damages Koga's Muk, even if it is knocked out. This ability involves flipping a coin; if heads, the player discards one Energy card from the attacking Pokémon, provided it has any attached. The ability is inactive if Koga's Muk is already Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed during an attack. The card is part of the Gym series, released in 2000, and is numbered 26 in the Gym Challenge set. It is classified as a Rare card and is associated with the Pokémon Dex number 89. The theme color of the card is a muted earth tone, reflecting its Grass-type identity. The artwork is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, who also designed other iconic Pokémon cards.
