'''Grimer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベター''' ''Betbeter'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Biology==

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 wastewater inside. Its population fluctuates based on the availability of waste, which is Grimer's main diet. 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. In recent years, thanks to efforts in environmental improvements and a decrease in their food source of waste, Grimer is now facing extinction.

==Trivia==

* Grimer shares similar traits to {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Grimer being water pollution.

* Alolan Grimer and its Alolan evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
