The Muk card (13/62), specifically the Holo Rare version from the Fossil expansion of the Pokémon TCG, is a premium raw collectible released on October 10, 1999. Featuring artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, this Grass-type Stage 1 Pokémon evolves from Grimer and is distinguished by its shimmering holofoil finish depicting Muk oozing forward with a sinister grin against a cosmic backdrop of swirling stars and dark, smoky rings. 

Mechanically, this card possesses 70 HP and features the Pokémon Power Toxic Gas: "Ignore all Pokémon Powers other than Toxic Gases. This power stops working while Muk is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed." Its attack, Sludge ([2 Grass], 30 damage), requires the player to flip a coin; if heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Poisoned. The card has a Psychic Weakness of ×2, no resistance, and a retreat cost of 2 Colorless energy, with the Pokédex entry noting: "It's a blob-like creature that oozes around. Its body is made of a thick, purple sludge that can dissolve anything it touches."

The Holo Rare version of Muk 13/62 is particularly prized by collectors completing the.  1999 Fossil set, as it represents the holofoil variant alongside the non-holo 28/62. The 13/62 Holo commands a significant premium due to its enhanced foil quality and distinct illustration. Its ability to ignore all Pokémon Powers while providing reliable damage output with a poison chance ensures consistent demand for raw copies, particularly as the 1999 Fossil set continues to gain vintage collectibility value and the Grimer/Muk evolutionary line remains one of the most iconic in the franchise's history.
