Grimer

Description

Released in 2010 as card number 50 in the HS—Undaunted set, this Pokémon trading card game card features Grimer as a Basic Psychic-type Pokémon with 60 HP. Designed by Midori Harada, the card offers strategic depth through its Psychic Sticky Liquid attack, which increases the Defending Pokémon's Retreat Cost by Colorless during the opponent's next turn. This mechanic allows collectors and players to control the board state by preventing opponents from easily switching out their defenders. The Sludge Toss attack provides a straightforward 20 damage option for those needing immediate pressure. The card's Pokédex number is 88, identifying it within the broader Pokémon universe. Collectors often seek this release to build comprehensive collections of the HS—Undaunted series or to utilize its unique mechanical interaction in casual play. The card's design and gameplay mechanics reflect the strategic diversity present in the Pokémon TCG during this period, making it a relevant item for those interested in the game's history. Grimer's ability to hinder opponent mobility adds a layer of tactical complexity that distinguishes it from simpler damage-dealing cards in the set.
