Every Alolan Grimer card

The short version

Alolan Grimer has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Celestial Guardians and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Basic Darkness-type Pokémon printed at between 70 and 80 HP, weak to Fighting, with a retreat cost of 2. Every printing is a Common. A Common has no rare-slot rate to quote — it fills the slots every pack is guaranteed to have, so opening the right expansion at all will turn one up. The printings come out of the Vol. 8, Gardevoir, Deluxe and Lunala packs. The most recent is Alolan Grimer #072, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing attacks with Poison Gas. The card’s own words: “There are a hundred or so of them living in Alola’s waste-disposal site. They’re all hard workers who eat a lot of trash.” It has been drawn by three artists, Akira Komayama more than anyone else with three cards.
