Where it came from
The Alolan Grimer card, numbered 57/149, was introduced in the Sun & Moon base set released in early 2017. This expansion marked the beginning of the seventh generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, introducing the Alolan regional variant of Grimer, which had transitioned from a pure Poison type to a dual Poison and Dark type to adapt to the environmental conditions of the Alola region as depicted in the Sun and Moon video games.
The card’s artwork was illustrated by Mizue, who captured the character's distinct crystalline structure and vibrant, colorful sludge characteristic of its Alolan form. As a common card, it was designed to serve as a foundational entry in the Sun & Moon set, providing players with an accessible Psychic-type Pokémon that reflected the aesthetic shifts of the game's new tropical setting. It is generally regarded by collectors as a quintessential example of the TCG's effort to integrate regional variations into the game mechanics.
