Grimer (#088) has 24 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Grimer 48/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 22 other cards of Grimer list a different HP.

If the Defending Pokémon tries to attack during your opponent's next turn, your opponent flips a coin. If tails, that attack does nothing. Weakness is Psychic +10. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon's X-rays. It appears among filth."

I keep a set binder for Secret Wonders, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Secret Wonders set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Grimer can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
