In the anime

Ash and co. first encountered this flith-ridding Pokémon in EP030. They were gumming up the turbines in the powerplant in Gringy 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.

Trivia

Origin

It appears to be a pile of living sludge.

Name origin

Grimer's name seems to be a corruption of grime, dirt. Its Japanese name may be derived from べとべと betobeto and べたべた betabeta, both meaning sticky. The German name, Sliema, sounds like Slimer; a slimey ghost from "Ghostbusters".
