In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling through [[Gringey City]], which was in the midst of a power failure. The local power plant was being overrun by the mysterious {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Grimer}}. After the swarm was located, the Grimer's leader, a Muk, came and challenged the Trainers. However, the vast numbers of {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} in the city combined attacks to clear out the Grimer, leaving only Muk. With the aid of {{AP|Pikachu}} and a {{p|Magnemite}} that was following it due to an electrical build up, Ash defeated and captured the Muk. It was then immediately sent to Oak's lab because its stench was so rancid that it could seep through the [[Poké Ball]]. However, Muk's horrid smell seemed to have disappeared in later episodes as neither Ash, nor anyone around him, was affected by it. | In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling through [[Gringey City]], which was in the midst of a power failure.

Muk's first battle was in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', where it was selected for use in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. After [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s high-level {{p|Bellsprout}} had trounced {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, Muk made a surprise appearance as Ash's third Pokémon. Muk easily absorbed Bellsprout's physical moves and {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then simply smothered Bellsprout with Body Slam, winning the match for Ash. | Muk's first battle was in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', where it was selected for use in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', Ash used Muk to help him and {{Tracey}} find Misty, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, who was kidnapped by a giant {{p|Bulbasaur}} in a sewer. Muk and {{AP|Kingler}} also offered to fight for Ash in the Orange Island Championship battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', but Ash chose {{AP|Tauros}} instead. | |||

Muk was reunited with Ash when he returned home in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Muk insisted on fighting Team Rocket, and Ash ordered it into battle instead of choosing Bulbasaur. Muk managed to resist {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks from [[James]]'s {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, and stopped Victreebel's {{m|Poison Powder}} from working. {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s {{m|Lick}} was even less effective, wiping Muk's face ineffectively to the point of causing pleasure instead of damage. It was then put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}}, but awoke after Gary intervened and drove Team Rocket away. | Muk was reunited with Ash when he returned home in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''.

In ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', Muk crowded into Ash's screen with Kingler, Tauros, and {{AP|Snorlax}} to wish him luck for his next Gym battle with [[Whitney]]. | |||
Muk's only other major battle was when Ash called it up from Oak's Lab in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', along with Tauros, Snorlax and {{AP|Heracross}} in order to fight {{Gary}} in the [[Silver Conference]]. It was sent out originally to fight {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, and the two fought to a stalemate, with Muk's Sludge Bomb deflected by {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Blastoise's physical attacks absorbed into Muk's body. Ash pulled Muk for his {{AP|Bayleef}} quickly after. It was sent out to fight {{p|Scizor}} later, who dodged a Sludge Bomb easily. Muk absorbed both {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}, but Scizor was able to throw Muk using the latter attack, ultimately defeating it with {{m|Swift}}. | Muk's only other major battle was when Ash called it up from Oak's Lab in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', along with Tauros, Snorlax, and {{AP|Heracross}} in order to fight {{Gary}} in the [[Silver Conference]].
