# Grimer #56/109 — Team Rocket Returns

## Summary

Grimer is a bulk common from a Team Rocket-flavored EX-era set, the sort of pull that filled out the commons without anyone chasing it. Taunt dragging a Benched target forward was a cute trick, but the real appeal is Aya Kusube's name and a sludgy Kantō favorite. The modelled guide sits at $3.52, up 3% over 30 days on 25 copies traded, with 158 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.
