Where it came from
The Grimer card, numbered 78/110, was released in 2002 as part of the Legendary Collection, a special expansion set for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set functioned as a compilation of reprints from the original Base Set, Jungle, and Fossil expansions, intended to provide newer players with access to classic cards that had previously rotated out of competitive play. The set is notable for introducing 'reverse-holo' patterns to the North American market, featuring a distinct etched foil finish over the entire card surface except for the artwork window.
The artwork for this specific Grimer originates from the Fossil expansion, first released in Japan in 1996 and internationally in 1999. It was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the lead designer of the original Pokémon series, whose watercolor and clean-line aesthetic defined the visual identity of the first generation of monsters. By the time of the Legendary Collection reprint, this design was already considered an iconic representation of the character, valued by collectors for its role in preserving the earliest history of the game's aesthetic development.
