Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Gold
- As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new Grimer emerge. This worsens the stench around it.
- Pokémon Ruby
- Grimer's sludgy and rubbery body can be forced through any opening, however small it may be. This Pokémon enters sewer pipes to drink filthy wastewater.
- Pokémon Emerald
- Born from polluted sludge in the sea, Grimer's favorite food is anything filthy. They feed on wastewater pumped out from factories.
- Pokémon FireRed
- Sludge exposed to X rays from the moon transformed into Grimer. It loves feeding on filthy things.
- Pokémon LeafGreen
- Appears in filthy areas. It thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories.
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".
It appears to be a pile of living sludge.

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.
