# Grimer #126/198 — Scarlet & Violet

## Summary

Grimer is a bulk common, a pull that fills out a binder page rather than anchoring one, though the sludge Pokémon keeps a cult following among Gen I fans who love its grimy charm. Kouki Saitou's name adds a small draw for illustrator collectors, but demand stays modest. A $0.18 modelled guide, flat over 30 days on 34 copies traded, says bulk, with 446 days of inventory on the board, and the economics stop there: no PSA population is on file.
