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).

Mercury rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit around the Sun. This retrograde rotation is unique compared to most other planets in our solar system.
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.

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.
Mercury rotates on its axis in a retrograde direction, meaning it rotates in the opposite direction of its orbit around the Sun. This retrograde rotation is unique compared to most other planets in our solar system.
Retrograde rotation
It means that the rotation is in the opposite direction.
