Grimer (Japanese: ベトベター Betbeter) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Muk starting at level 38.
Biology
Physiology
Grimer is a purple pile of poisonous sludge. It has saucer-like eyes and a gray mouth. Grimer may be distantly related to Koffing, another Pokémon that is associated with pollution.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Grimer emits a very pungent, noisome odor. Since Grimer's body lacks a solid form, it can slip through the smallest of openings. Grimer's germ-infested entrails cause the ground that it passes over to be unable to bear any plant life.
As far as Grimer's skills in battle are concerned, Grimer mainly attacks by flinging poisonous Sludge (or mud) at its foes. Grimer can also wield fire, electricity, and various Template:Type2 attacks. Grimer is part of one of the four Pokémon evolutionary lines that can use Gunk Shot.
Behavior
Habitat
Grimer thrive anywhere there is pollution.
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
Grimer tend to feed on sludge, sewage, and other filthy things.
In the anime
When Celadon City Gym Leader Erika was a youngster, she got lost one day and ran into a Grimer. However, a Gloom chased the Grimer off and saved her.
Ash and co. first encountered this filth-ridding Pokémon in Sparks Fly for Magnemite. They were gumming up the turbines in the power plant in Gringey City. Grimer and Muk chased Ash, Misty and Brock after a negative comment on how they smelled was made. Magnemite and Magneton chased them off, leaving Ash to capture the Muk making another strong battler.
Dawn temporarily trained a Grimer in Camping It Up!.
In the manga
Koga wears a Grimer on his shoulder in the form of a ninja outfit in Pokémon Special. He used it extensively to smother Green, preventing him from breathing.

Trivia

However, in recent episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in DP088 where Dawn is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell. This could be because it is probably they can control their smell.
