Where it came from
The Muk card was released in 1999 as part of the Fossil expansion, the third main set of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Following the success of the Base Set and Jungle, the Fossil set was designed to introduce Pokémon originally discovered in the prehistoric-themed Cinnabar Island area of the video games. The art style for this set maintained the distinct aesthetic of the early Wizards of the Coast era, focusing on vibrant, illustrative depictions of the monsters in their natural habitats.
The illustration for this specific Muk card was created by Kagemaru Himeno, a prominent artist whose work became a cornerstone of the early TCG. Himeno aimed to capture Muk’s sludge-based anatomy with a visceral, gooey texture that fit its Poison-type identity. Upon its release, the card became notable among players for its 'Toxic Gas' Pokémon Power, which neutralized all other Pokémon Powers while Muk was active, making it a strategic staple in the competitive meta of the late 90s.
