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.

Name origin
