Grimer #088

Grimer is a gleeful heap of living sludge — born from polluted ooze and happiest wallowing in filth, Kanto's purest Poison-type mess. Its cards are led by a prized Legendary Collection reverse and an e-Card Aquapolis print, with villain-flavored Koga, Rocket, and Aqua variants giving the line character.

01Top 10 Notable Grimer Cards

Grimer is topped by the 2002 Legendary Collection reverse and the Aquapolis e-Card print, with Koga's gym version and the Team Rocket and Team Aqua variants adding villainous flavor. Ranked by verified sold price.

Grimer — Aquapolis #79
Rank 02

Grimer — Aquapolis #79

Aquapolis (2003), the e-Card set notorious for off-center cuts and thin print runs. A clean Grimer from it carries a strong premium — the era's scarcity rewarding collectors well above its common status.

Grimer — Legend Maker #54
Rank 09

Grimer — Legend Maker #54

EX Legend Maker (2006) was small and holo-dense, but plain commons like this Grimer were never the draw. Cheap loose — though a mint reverse-holo parallel is quietly scarcer than the price suggests.
