| '''Muk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベトン''' ''Betbeton'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.
| |
| | |
| It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Grimer}} starting at [[level]] 38.
| |
| | |
| ==Biology==
| |
| ===Physiology===
| |
| Muk basically look very similar to its previous form, {{p|Grimer}}. The main differences are that Muk is larger than Grimer, and has a wider mouth and smaller eyes. It is also usually shown with its left arm being much larger then the right one, along with a strand connecting its upper and lower lip when its mouth is open. The sludge it is made of is apparently less dense than water as it has been shown to float on it in the anime.
| |
| | |
| ===Gender Differences===
| |
| None.
| |
| | |
| ====Special abilities====
| |
| The toxicity of Muk's form has reached the point where a single drop of it can make an entire lake stagnant and rancid. Its footprints are toxic enough for a person to contract {{wp|influenza}} if they are touched. Their infamous stench increases in the summertime, due to the toxic substances in its body intensifying. Their ability to exist in the environment without it becoming completely hazardous to other lifeforms may be attributed to their ability to actively control their toxins, as they would likely never want to deliberately pollute a river or spread any harmful diseases.
| |
| | |
| As a fully evolved Pokémon, Muk is capable of using the [[move]]s {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.
| |
| | |
| ===Behavior===
| |
| In the wild, Muks usually take charge of their family of Grimers and are very protective.
| |
| | |
| ===Habitat===
| |
| [[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
| |
| This Pokémon likes warm and moist places. Groups of them accumulate in dirty places, such as garbage dumps or sewers. They sometimes also reside in dirty back alleys of towns. Despite their penchant for thriving in dirty, contaminated places, they do seem to have a limit as to how much pollution they can tolerate, as no Muk lived in the [[Lake Lucid]] of fifty years ago until some work was made on purifying it. Wild Muk are normally found only in [[Kanto]].
| |
| | |
| ===Diet===
| |
| {{main|Pokémon food}}
| |
| Muk will eat anything that is already contaminated.
| |
| | |
| ==In the anime==

| [[Image:3 Muk.jpg|right|thumb|210px|Three Muk in the anime]]
| |
| ===Major appearances===
| |
| ====[[Ash's Muk]]====
| |
| {{Ash}} captured a Muk in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. It was transferred to [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Oak's Lab|lab]]. Ash's Muk is always trying to smother Prof. Oak. The first time Ash used his Muk in battle was in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', as a trump card against a {{p|Bellsprout}} that had already defeated his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}.
| |
| | |
| ====Other====
| |
| Six Muk appeared in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.
| |
| | |
| ===Minor appearances===

| Muk also appeared under the ownership of [[Attila]] during ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''

| ==Trivia==
| |
| * Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm {{Ash}}, {{Prof|Oak}}, [[Misty]], {{Prof|Birch}}, or {{Tracey}} when {{AP|Muk}} is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not similar to how {{p|Ponyta}} can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it. {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} is another Pokémon which is able to control the amount of poison it uses via its fingertips when using Poison Jab, or {{p|Sharpedo}} activating its ability, {{a|Rough Skin}}.
| |
| * Muk's English name is tied with {{p|Mew}} for being the shortest out of all Pokémon.
| |
| *Muk's Height Is Given As 3'11" But It is seen to have altering heights as it can expand and become taller or spread out and become shorter.
| |
| * {{p|Haunter}} and Muk are the only two Pokémon whose weight does not change as a result of evolution.
| |
| * Even though Muk's {{game|Red}}, {{game|Blue}}, and {{game|LeafGreen}} Pokédex entries state that its footprints are poisonous, Muk does not have a footprint.
| |
| * In {{game|Platinum}}, Muk is one of the few Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, and not introduced in Generation IV, to have a new sprite. {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Ninetales}}, {{p|Primeape}}, {{p|Krabby}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are the others.

| ===Origin===
| |
| It appears to be a pile of living sludge. It is also similar to [[wp:Hedorah|Hedorah]] (ヘドラ), a Kaiju composed of toxic sludge.
| |
| ====Name origin====
| |
| Muk's name seems to be a corruption of ''muck''. Its Japanese name may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'', sticky.
