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.

Minor Appearances
In Pokémon Scent-sation!, Celadon City Gym Leader Erika told a story about when she was a youngster, she got lost one day and ran into a Grimer. However, a Gloom chased the Grimer off and saved her.

Trivia
- Grimer and Gastly are the only Pokémon who don't change weight during evolution.
- Coincidentially, both are Template:Type2s from Generation I.
- In Sparks Fly for Magnemite, Grimer's anime debut, Grimer had a very strong odor that made most people around the Grimer to cover their noses form the smell. However, in recent episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in Camping It Up! where Dawn is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell.
- In recent 3D games, Grimer is black instead of purple.
- Grimer is the only Pokémon to learn Shadow Punch through breeding. Coincidentally, Grimer and Muk are the only non-Template:Type2 Pokémon to learn this move.
- It also can learn Shadow Sneak through breeding, but it has no relation to a Template:Type2 Pokémon or shadows.
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, Sleima, sounds like "Slimer", a slimy ghost from Ghostbusters.
In other languages
- German: Sleima - a tweaking of Schleim (slime)
- French: Tadmorv - From tas de morve (heap of mucus).
- Korean: 질퍽이 Jilpeogi
