GrimerDarkness Ablaze #100 Pokémon Card

Grimer, the Sludge Pokémon, is a Poison-type creature first introduced in Generation I. It is known for its perpetually oozing, toxic body, formed from polluted sludge. Grimer often inhabits dirty places like sewers and industrial areas, thriving on the waste products of human civilization. Its diet consists entirely of refuse and wastewater, which it absorbs through its body, growing larger and more potent. Grimer evolves into Muk. In the games, Grimer is often found in areas reflecting its polluted nature, such as the Pokémon Mansion or the Celadon City Game Corner in the Kanto region. In the anime, Ash Ketchum famously caught a Grimer that was causing problems in a power plant, and it later evolved into a Muk that became a comedic but loyal member of his team. Grimer’s existence serves as a commentary on environmental pollution, as its very being is a product of human waste. Despite its repulsive appearance and toxic nature, Grimer has a certain charm for many fans, perhaps due to its simple, often jovial, expression. Its type matchups mean it is weak to Ground and Psychic, resistant to Fighting, Poison, Bug, Grass, and Fairy, and neutral to many others.
