It is a Dwarf planet that has a retrograde axial spin or rotation. Clockwise from above its north pole.
Retrograde rotation
Venus is the inner planet that has a retrograde rotation, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to its orbit around the sun. This causes the sun to rise in the west and set in the east on Venus.

The spinning rotation of a planet from east to west is called retrograde rotation. This is the opposite direction to the majority of planets in our solar system, which rotate from west to east in a prograde rotation.
Retrograde motion refers to the clockwise rotation of a planet as opposed to the more common counterclockwise rotation. This phenomenon is rare in our solar system, with Venus being the only planet that exhibits retrograde rotation. The exact reasons for Venus's retrograde rotation are not fully understood but may be due to past impacts or gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.
Any planet, moon or object that rotates in the opposite to us (Well we have to have a common denominator) is said to be in retrograde rotation (or retrograde motion) But most objects in the solar system appear to spin counterclockwise when viewed from above the north pole, so this is normal rotation, not retrograde.
Neptune has a moon named Triton that exhibits retrograde motion. Retrograde motion is when a moon orbits its planet in the opposite direction of the planet's rotation.
The planets that have a retrograde rotation are Venus and Uranus. The object Pluto, which was once considered a planet actually has the type of rotation as well. It is now considered a dwarf planet.
That is called retrograde rotation.
It's Venus, not Mercury. Mercury spins slowly, but not in a retrograde rotation. Venus spins the opposite way from the other planets, except for one of the outer planets (Uranus).
