Alolan Grimer
Oracle Text
Attack Melt (10)
Attack Nasty Goo (20): Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent’s Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Card Details
Character Background
Alolan Grimer is a humble Common that fits neatly into a low-stakes poison-tempo plan, using disruption to soften up the opposing Active Pokémon while buying time for your board to develop. In gameplay terms, Super Poison Breath is swingy, but even a single successful Poison can force awkward switches, extra healing, or inefficient retreats, which is exactly what a control or attrition deck wants from a Basic. Pound for 40 is plain, but it matters because it gives the card a fallback when you cannot rely on the coin flip. The Alolan form’s sludge-like, polluted vibe also aligns well with a deck that leans into status effects and gradual pressure rather than explosive damage. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair it with Poison payoffs, retreat disruption, or cards that preserve the Active slot so the opponent keeps taking damage from the condition.
