Pluto, like most bodies in the solar system, has a prograde orbit (inclination: ~17° from the ecliptic).
Its rotation is retrograde, though (inclined at ~120°).
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).

Retrograde rotation is when an object rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit. This is opposite to the more common prograde rotation, where the rotation and orbit are in the same direction. An example is Venus, which rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction compared to the direction it orbits the Sun.
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.
Venus and Uranus are two planets in our solar system that have a retrograde rotation, meaning they rotate in the opposite direction of their orbit around the Sun. This retrograde motion is quite unique compared to the other planets which have a prograde rotation.

Retrograde rotation refers to a rotation that is opposite to the typical direction of rotation for most planets in the solar system, which is counterclockwise when viewed from above the North Pole. Therefore, retrograde rotation is considered clockwise. For example, Venus and Uranus exhibit retrograde rotation.
Mercury Retrograde was created on 2008-06-03.
If you mean "retrograde rotation", they are Venus and Uranus.
prograde rotation
No, Mercury rotates counterclockwise on its axis. This is known as retrograde rotation.
It is a Dwarf planet that has a retrograde axial spin or rotation. Clockwise from above its north pole.
It means that the rotation is in the opposite direction.
