# Grimer #79/147 — Aquapolis

## Summary

Grimer is a bulk common from Aquapolis, the kind of slot that fills out a binder without anyone chasing it. Gen I sludge Pokémon keep a quiet cult of fans, and Kinebuchi's name gives illustrator-minded completionists a reason to pull it from the dollar bin. The modelled guide sits at $27, down 13% over 30 days on 22 copies traded, with 242 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
