Provenance

Where it came from

The Grimer card from the Darkness Ablaze expansion was released in 2020 as part of the Sword & Shield series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set drew heavily from the mechanics and aesthetics established in the Galar region, focusing on introducing various Pokémon types to the darkness-type designation to reflect regional variants and thematic shifts in the competitive meta.

The illustration was crafted by artist Shibuzoh, who has contributed extensively to the franchise. The artwork captures Grimer in a typical sludge-heavy environment, emphasizing the character's toxic nature. Like many common-tier cards in the set, it was designed primarily for playability within the draft and standard formats, serving as a reliable utility card for collectors and players building darkness-themed decks.
