Muk 63/181 · Team Up

Muk is Pokédex #089, generation 1 (Kanto). Muk is a Stage 1 Psychic Pokémon with 130 HP. The card says it evolves from Grimer. In this catalog that name is Grimer (#088).

Muk sits at 63/181 in Team Up, position 63 of 198. Before it is 62 Grimer, and after it is 64 Alolan Marowak. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on February 1, 2019. The printed size is 181. This checklist is longer, at 198 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Poison Sacs is listed as Ability. The Special Condition Poisoned is not removed when your opponent's Pokémon evolve or devolve. The attack Toxic Secretion lists 40 damage. The cost is Psychic. Your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Poisoned. Put 2 damage counters instead of 1 on that Pokémon between turns. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "Their food sources have decreased, and their numbers have declined sharply. Sludge ponds are being built to prevent their extinction."

Muk (#089) has 31 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 24 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Muk 13/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Anesaki Dynamic illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 30 other cards of Muk list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Anesaki Dynamic. I count 134 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Team Up set binder is where a full Team Up set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Muk can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
