This card's Toxic Gas Poké- | * Muk ex is one of the most prominent cards in the {{TCG|unlimited format}} of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] play. {{TCG ID|EX Legend Maker|Grimer|54}}'s ''Ascension'' attack, which allows the player to search for a card that evolves from Grimer and put it onto Grimer, ensures that a player can get a Muk ex in play on their first turn. Muk ex's ''Toxic Gas'' Poké-BODY is extremely useful in unlimited because it cancels out {{TCG ID|Platinum|Crobat G|47}}'s ''Flash Bite'' Poké-POWER, along with a number of other Poké-POWERS that are used in combination with Trainer cards such as {{TCG|Scoop Up}} and {{TCG|Poké Turn}} to cause extreme damage on the first turn. The aforementioned cards are parts of one of the most popular unlimited format decks which Muk ex seeks to counter. | ||
* This card's ''Toxic Gas'' Poké-BODY comes from the {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} of the same name possessed by {{TCG|Fossil}} {{TCG ID|Fossil|Muk|13}}, which had a very similar effect. The primary differences are that Fossil Muk's power cancels out Pokémon Powers (and, by extension, Poké-POWERS and Poké-BODIES), whereas Muk ex's Toxic Gas only works on Poké-POWERS and Poké-BODIES, and that Muk ex must be active for the effect to work, whereas Fossil Muk's worked even from the Bench. | |||
