Provenance

Where it came from

The Alolan Grimer card, numbered 83/147, was released in the Burning Shadows expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in August 2017. As a regional variant introduced in the seventh generation of the video games, the design reflects the Alolan adaptation of the classic Grimer, characterized by its vibrant green coloration and crystalline formations resulting from its consumption of purified waste in the Alola region.

The artwork for this particular card was produced by illustrator Mizue, who utilized a clean, digital aesthetic to emphasize the creature's modified appearance. Within the competitive landscape of the trading card game, this common-rarity card serves as a foundational component for players building Darkness-type decks, valued primarily for its functional role in gameplay rather than its scarcity.
