Muk

Description

As card number 85 in the set, this Reverse Holo variant offers collectors a distinctive finish that catches the light differently than standard prints. The card depicts the Stage 1 Pokémon that evolves from Grimer, retaining its classic dark purple aesthetic within the set's design language. From a gameplay perspective, Muk brings unique tactical options to the table. With 130 HP, it serves as a durable presence on the bench. Its Sludge Street ability increases the Retreat Cost for opponent’s Poisoned Pokémon by Colorless energy, forcing difficult decisions during play. When moved to the Active spot, Muk can unleash Shrieking Poison, dealing 90 damage while confusing and poisoning the opponent's Active Pokémon. This combination of status effects makes it a strategic asset for decks built around poison strategies. Collectors often seek out the Reverse Holo treatment for its shimmering finish, which adds visual interest to any collection. The card is illustrated by artist Scav and bears the Regulation Mark F, indicating its place in the current legal rotation at the time of release. For fans of the Pokémon franchise, owning a piece of the Brilliant Stars era allows them to complete their sets or build competitive teams centered around the Muk evolutionary line. Whether you are hunting for specific cards to complete a Brilliant Stars set or looking to add powerful Pokémon to your collection, exploring the available inventory can help you find the right pieces for your needs.
