What it does
If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing.
It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon's X-rays. It appears among filth.

Where it came from
The Grimer card, numbered 88/132, was released in the Secret Wonders expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in November 2007. As part of the Diamond & Pearl Series, this set introduced the gameplay mechanics of Pokémon LV.X and focused on expanding the roster of Sinnoh-region creatures. Grimer was included as a common-rarity card, serving as a staple utility piece for players looking to build Poison-type decks within the competitive meta of the late 2000s.
The artwork for this specific card was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the most prolific and iconic artists in the history of the Pokémon TCG. Arita’s design captures Grimer in a dynamic, sludge-like posture that emphasizes the character's biological nature as a sentient pile of toxic waste. His approach typically prioritizes expressive poses that stay true to the creature's original character design from the Kanto region while integrating the cleaner, more modern aesthetic favored by the Diamond & Pearl artistic direction.
