Establish early-game poison pressure and slow down your opponent’s momentum with the classic, toxic battlefield sludge engine of the foundational Paldea block!
This listing is for an authentic Grimer Reverse Holo single card from the groundbreaking Pokémon TCG Scarlet & Violet Base Set expansion.
Serving as a favorite sludgy common from the introductory Paldean checklist, this card features a striking reverse-foil finish. The factory micro-sheen mirror matrix fills the entire card face while keeping the character artwork crisp and clear. Numbered as checklist #126/198, this beautiful variant delivers an exceptional premium appearance that instantly stands out inside collector binders and competitive play decks.
On the competitive tabletop scene, this Darkness-type Basic Pokémon packs a sturdy 80 HP pool, giving it great survivability during early turns. For a single darkness energy, its signature Poison Gas attack delivers a guaranteed tactical disruption by leaving the defending Active Pokémon completely Poisoned. This pairs cleanly with its low-cost Sludge Toss attack, dealing a flat 30 damage to steadily dissolve incoming threats while you prepare your bench.
An absolute must-have addition for active competitive Darkness archetype deck builders, generation-one completionists, or collectors building a master reverse holo set binder for the Scarlet & Violet era.
