The Muk card from the Fossil set captures a moment where this Sludge Pokémon oozes with a sense of mischief and menace. Its purple, gooey form seems to blend into the murky background, creating an atmosphere of decay and toxicity. The sly grin on Muk's face hints at its playful yet dangerous nature, inviting curiosity while simultaneously warning of its poisonous abilities. This snapshot encapsulates the essence of Muk's character in the Pokémon world, where danger lurks beneath a seemingly simple exterior.
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned.
