First of all, it's Grim, like the word, not Grym. Now for the actual lore
In January 2023, after Hirocima and Niggasaki killed the first /tog/ in December of 2022, two threads emerged from the rubble. The first was Kayda, which was a coomer thread, kind of like the fetishmon thread but centered around type specialists, revolving around Kayda, a redhead with exaggeratedly large breasts, who, depending on who you ask, was created to make fun of new Dragon types such as Hydrapple and Archaludon that weren't "dragon" enough, or was created to satirize people who criticized Dragon types that weren't "dragon" enough.
The second thread that emerged was Edgyverse, a thread centered around making fun of the OCs made by popular Twitter artist Nyantcha AKA ThiccWithAQ AKA 00_Homura for his Zirca region. He is notorious for being a giga coomer nigger who pretended to be a woman and was doxxed a while ago on /vp/ (not posting it). The thread made fun of the Zirca OCs, in particular Champion Vos Xavion and Poison E4 Dorado Guerrero for being outrageously edgy to the point of being blatantly out of place in the Pokemon setting, like Alexander Heriot x10. There was also another OC named Grim Darkwood which was created by a 25 year old Colombian man who watched too much shonen, somehow managing to create a character that was even more unironically edgy than the Zirca stuff. Contrary to what some people believe, Grim is not a parody OC, he is 100% serious, and is also not related to Zirca at all; his creator was just aping Nyantcha. An unknown anon created two phases for his special snowflake Mega Tyranitar with multiple abilities and STAB versions of other Pokemon's signature moves. Brendoom was also created around this time as a counter to the raw edginess of Edgyverse. Anna and Hasumi also emerged around this time. Edgyverse and Kayda both died off due to becoming stale, /tog/ is reborn, the rest is history.
