Main article:Team Yell Grunt (Sword & Shield 184)

Team Yell Grunt was introduced as aSupporter card in thePokémon Trading Card Game during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the JapaneseV Starter Set Water. It later appeared in the JapaneseShield expansion before debuting in English in theSword & Shield expansion, with artwork bynagimiso. It was also released as aFull Art card andSecret card in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist.

Trivia

• The logo ofSpikemuth Chamber of Commerce can be seen on the Team Yell Grunt uniforms. Interestingly, there is only one singlePoké Job from Spikemuth Chamber of Commerce in the game, yet the Job in question, along with the logo, can be seen on a pre-release Poké Jobs screenshot.
• The Team Yell Grunt that trades a KantonianMr. Mime for aObstagoon is named Edmund while another one who fights the player without his disguise in Spikemuth is named Joshua. This makes them some of the very few villainous team grunts in the franchise to have confirmed names.
