Grimer is a slimy, amorphous | Grimer is a slimy, amorphous Pokémon whose body was animated because of lunar radiation. It has two large eyes with beady pupils and a gaping mouth with a gray tongue. While it lacks any visible legs, it does have two arms with three digits on each hand. Its purple sludge body contains a variety of pungent bacteria, which are so potent that it renders soil barren and incapable of supporting plant life. It is constantly oozing a bacteria-rich fluid from all parts of its body. Pieces of it often break off during travel, and go on to become new Grimer. When combined with another Grimer, it produces new poisonous compounds. | ||
Due to its lack of a solid form, | Due to its lack of a solid form, Grimer is capable of squeezing into any space or crevices with relative ease. It uses this to penetrate sewage pipes and feed off of the filthy waste water inside. Its population fluctuates based on the availability of waste. It can be found in polluted lakes and streams, as well as within {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}} where trash and industrial waste can be found. | ||
Grimer was brought to Alola to deal with the excess waste generated by the region's increased population. Alolan Grimer eats trash instead of sludge; this new diet has caused its form to change. Alolan Grimer's body is green with a line of yellow sludge along its lower lip and a bright blue tongue. It also has two blunt "teeth" in its upper jaw, which are actually crystallized toxins formed by its diet. It is not known how to break down these toxic crystals, but direct contact with them is known to be dangerous. Lethal poisons leak out of Grimer's body when these crystals fall out. Because it produces and stores its toxins within its body, Alolan Grimer does not produce a foul stench like the standard version.<ref> https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/</ref> | |||
Alolan Grimer is perpetually hungry and must constantly eat trash. If no trash is readily available, it will eat other manufactured products instead.<ref> https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-grimer/</ref> In addition to garbage, Alolan Grimer preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. Its introduction in Alola has also led to a reduction in {{p|Garbodor}} populations. | |||
