| {{p|Grimer}}
| Appearing in filthy areas, Grimer thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories. In "Pokémon Scent-Sation," our heroes arrive at the Celadon City Gym where wonderful perfumes are manufactured using Pokémon spores and nectars.

After Ash unclogs the stopped-up water pipes in the power plant, he catches Muk for his Pokémon collection!<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 30&mdash;"[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]"

| Krabby's pincers are powerful weapons, which also help it balance when walking sideways. In "Island of the Giant Pokémon," Ash and friends are washed ashore on a seemingly deserted island and realize that almost all of Ash's Pokémon are missing! One of Ash's remaining Pokémon is the loyal Krabby, captured earlier. Krabby is eventually transported to Dr.<!--sic--> Oak's laboratory, because Pokémon trainers are only allowed to carry six Poké Balls at one time.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 17&mdash;"[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]"

| The second and final stage of evolution for Voltorb. Electrode stores energy under very high pressure and often explodes with little or no provocation. In "The Flame Pokémon-athon," Pikachu rides Squirtle in a race that includes an Onix, a Starmie and a volatile Electrode.

| Because it never removes its skull helmet, no one has ever seen this Pokémon's real face. In "The School of Hard Knocks," Giselle, a stuck-up student at Pokémon Tech, battles Ash and Pikachu with her well-trained Cubone. Pikachu battles valiantly, but Cubone is merciless. After using a strategy that the book-smart Giselle can't figure out, Pikachu tricks Cubone into getting hit on the head by its own Boomerang attack!<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 9&mdash;"[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]"

| {{p|Lickitung}}
| Lickitung's tongue can be extended like a frog's, and it leaves a tingling sensation when it licks its enemies. In "The Ultimate Test," Ash signs up for the Pokémon League Admissions Exam to prove his skill as a Pokémon master, but the questions on the test are too difficult for Ash to answer correctly. One of the questions asks: "Lickitung's tongue is twice the length of its body, true or false?" Do ''you'' know the answer?<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 56&mdash;"[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]"

| {{p|Koffing}}
| {{p|Koffing}}
| Because it stores several kinds of toxic gases in its body, Koffing is prone to exploding without warning. In Ash's first adventure, "Pokémon Emergency," Pikachu is rushed to the Viridian City Pokémon Center to be treated for severe exhaustion. When the evil Team Rocket show up, the pair send Ekans and the toxic Koffing to destroy the center. The barely recovered Pikachu and other Pokémon from the center join forces to defeat the Pokémon-snatching villains.<br/><br/>First appearance: Episode 2&mdash;"[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]"
