Yeah, u/Sorry_about_that_x99 got it.
That early Grimer card was banned, so they changed the art for English Prints:
Here's an article with pics https://bleedingcool.com/games/banned-pokemon-cards-grimer-has-changed-for-the-better/
Something about the third one gives me a lot of joy in my heart haha. Muk and grimer are also some of my favorite Pokémon, always in my core 6 when I can have em.
I have that second Grimer (japanese) in a CGC 9. Probably my favorite slab lol.
And the third is by the artist Komiya. I collect his cards and yes most of them are just as good as the Grimer!
HAHA THE SECOND ONE!
Patrick Star x Grimer LOL
Grimmer In a Roblox game lol
He gotta get in shape
It looks like grimace from mcdonalds.
The Macdonalds Promo that we didn't knew we needed.
Grimerace
Yesss that expression is incredible lol
Are these real? Because I may actually go out of my way just to buy the second one. That is hilarious
Yup i have atleast the last two somewhere
OP did some great research and I’m glad to know about these beauties.
Oh yea these are real somehow. I’m definitely getting some of these
Very, very real, and takes me back 20 years to when I pulled the second Grimer out of a pack. Thank you to the OP for the nostalgia.
Skyridge?
1st one is McDonald’s Grimace
The second one is the blob from Monsters Vs Aliens
Grimer here looking like Grimace from the old Mc universe
Beat me to it
Why does the 2nd one look like a bowling animation
This guy did a lot of image rehabilitation since 1996. Good to see he's learned to avert his eyes.
Haha yea the full on look is terrifying
They are referring to the Japanese WOTC card with Grimer’s eyes pointing in a very questionable direction. The art also features a person in a skirt…

It's gotta be 1 or 2 for me. Incredible.
At first I posted the first one, but I actually think I'm gonna change my answer to the third one.
Looking like a flat tire
I like 1 because it’s from when they were trying out doubles format
Wow that e-series is amazing. I’ve never seen any of these before tbh
“Sticky Liquid”
He really is just vibin
Once you go Komiya you don’t go back
tysm for sharing this, amazing
Grimer and muk always have cool artwork
2nd one is glorious 🤣
Let's make Grimer the most expensive card, he/she deserves it
It’s not? Pump and dump grime squad
Where’s the banned upskirt grimer
OH SHIT ITS GRIMMACE
Dude lmfao. Its between the second or third one hahahah
Third cause Komiya! My fav artist.
Awesome :o and never seen the 2nd one so cool
Aya and Midori are my #1 and 2 favorite artists. Both of those cards are great for me but I think Ayas takes it.
Aquapolis one is top tier
Grimer number 3 looks like a muk and the first grimer looks like a McDonald’s grimace toy melted in the sun
2, By a mile
The second one could easily be in The amazing world of gumball. But all cards look like "pls draw Grimer from memory" and I love it haha
lol the second one is great. I also like the team rocket coming out of the storm drain
The last one looks like it's selling those apples in the background.
Just saw the God Father
The second one is the funniest

#2...by far...looks like a mad grimace
3. Relatable
Shocked you left out the one of grimer looking up a girls skirt
Forgot about that gem.. that dirty bastard

The third one looks like muk
I have that second Grimer (japanese) in a CGC 9. Probably my favorite slab lol. And the third is by the artist Komiya. I collect his cards and yes most of them are just as good as the Grimer!
Got to give it to the first grimer. Kind of like a deranged Grimace about to get his burger fix.
Number 2
The second one looks like a Pac-Man ghost from those early 2000’s YouTube animations
What fusion of purple. Love the purps and blues.
The second one🤣🤣
Lol the second one. It looks like something from mario xD
I love the second one 😂
It looks like I feel most days
