Where it came from
The Grimer card, numbered 45/116, was released as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Plasma Freeze, which debuted in May 2013. This set was centered around the Team Plasma narrative arc, a storyline in the Black and White era where the antagonistic group utilized powerful, technologically enhanced Pokémon to seize control of the Unova region. As a common card, it served as a functional staple for players looking to integrate Poison-type mechanics into their decks during that competitive cycle.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Mizue, who has contributed numerous illustrations to the Pokémon TCG. Mizue chose a clean, stylized aesthetic that highlights Grimer’s gelatinous, purple form within a neutral, simplified environment. The design prioritizes clarity and character recognition, aligning with the artistic direction of the Black and White series, which often emphasized the iconic silhouettes of original Generation I Pokémon within the modern framework of the evolving card game.
