CARDEX BACKGROUND

About this Pokémon form

Inside Alolan Muk's body, more than a hundred poisons meet and react with one another. These chemical reactions fuel its vitality. Despite this alarming composition, it can be surprisingly calm and friendly. Its daily life nevertheless depends on a very particular food: the garbage it is given to absorb forms part of its needs.

Background on this form in the video games; this card’s attacks, edition and finish remain distinct.

A detail worth noticing

An Alolan Muk deprived of garbage does more than wait patiently. The Pokédex recounts that it may break its Trainer's furniture, then swallow the pieces. Its usually tranquil temperament therefore does not prevent this sudden bout of destructive appetite.
