Dark Muk 41/82 Pokémon Team Rocket Raw

Dark Muk (41/82) from the Team Rocket expansion is a striking Uncommon Stage 1 Pokémon card that captures the sinister twist the villainous organization puts on familiar Pokémon. Evolving from Grimer, this Grass-type Pokémon showcases a corrupted, darker evolution path, reflecting Team Rocket’s unethical experiments. With 60 HP and a menacing appearance, Dark Muk looms as a persistent threat on the battlefield. Illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, the card’s artwork emphasizes its toxic nature, oozing sludge and radiating an eerie, foreboding presence that sets it apart from its standard counterpart.

Equipped with the Pokémon Power Sticky Goo, Dark Muk disrupts your opponent’s strategy by forcing them to pay an additional two Colorless energy to retreat their Active Pokémon. This ability remains active as long as Dark Muk is in the Active position—unless it becomes Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. Its attack, Sludge Punch, deals 20 damage and poisons the Defending Pokémon, adding consistent pressure over time. With a Retreat Cost of 2 and a weakness to Psychic-type moves, Dark Muk balances utility and vulnerability, making it a tactical choice for decks focused on control and attrition.
