Read more ↓Grimer is a Poison-type Pokémon first introduced in Generation I, hailing from the Kanto region. This sludge Pokémon is the initial stage in a two-stage evolution line, evolving into Muk starting at level 38. Grimer's natural habitat is typically found in polluted areas, factories, and urban sewers, thriving in environments rich with toxic waste. Its diet consists primarily of industrial waste and garbage, which it absorbs and transforms into its own bodily composition. Grimer is known for its rather pungent odor, a byproduct of its toxic makeup, which often repels other Pokémon and humans alike. In the games, Grimer is a common early-game Poison-type that can be quite useful against Grass and Fairy-type opponents. In the anime, Grimer often appears as a mischievous and sometimes troublesome Pokémon, notably appearing in the episode "Ash Catches a Pokémon" where Ash attempts to catch one. Its cultural significance lies in its depiction of environmental pollution and its consequences, serving as a subtle reminder of the impact of human activities on nature.
