Muk (Japanese: ベトベトン Betbeton) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves from Grimer starting at level 38.
Biology
Physiology
Muk basically look very similar to its previous form, Grimer. The main differences are that Muk is larger than Grimer, and has a wider mouth and smaller eyes. It is also usually depicted with its left arm being much larger then the right one.
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 to give you the flu. Their ability to exist in the enviroment without it becoming completely hazardous to other lifeforms may be attributed to their ability to actively control their toxins.
As a fully evolved Pokémon, Muk is capable of using the moves Hyper Beam and Giga Impact.
Behavior
Habitat
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.

Trivia
- Although Muk's body is very poisonous, it doesn't seem to harm Ash, Oak, Misty, Birch, or Tracey when Muk is 'hugging' them. This is probably because it is able to control whether it gives off poison or not similar to how Ponyta can choose whether or not to burn the person that touches it, Croagunk being able to control the amount of Poison it uses via it's fingertips when using Poison Jab, or Sharpedo activating its ability, Rough Skin.
- Muk's English name is along with that of Mew as the shortest of all Pokémon, written with only 3 letters.
- Haunter and Muk are the only two Pokémon who don't change weight during evolution.
- Most of Muk's sprites show its left arm longer than its right arm and raised up.
- In fact, the only sprite showing Muk with identical arms is that of Pokémon Yellow.
- Even though Muk's Red, Blue, and LeafGreen PokéDex entry states that its footprints are poisonous, Muk does not have a footprint.
- If you alternate between Muk's Diamond/Pearl front sprite and its Platinum one, it appears to be waving.
Origin
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Some people believe that it's based off of Hedorah, a Godzilla monster who is made out of sludge. Due to his ability to make unlimited amounts of deadly slug and air pollution, it quickly became a threat to the entire world.
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.
In other languages
- German: Sleimok
- French: Grotadmorv - From gros (big or fat) and Tadmorv (the French name for Grimer).
- Korean: 질뻐기 Jilppagi
