Pokémon UNITE

In Pokémon UNITE, Sludge Bomb is Venusaur's and Gengar's first move.

Venusaur can obtain the move by reaching Ivysaur stage at level 5 and upgrading Seed Bomb into it instead of Giga Drain. The user hurls toxic sludge to the designated location, damaging and poisoning all enemies in the radius when it lands. The sludge lingers, damaging enemies over time in the radius, slowing them, and reducing their Sp. Def (by 30% after each damaging tick and only stacks once) for a short time. Its radius increases at level 11.

Gengar can obtain the move as Haunter by reaching level 7 and upgrading Will-O-Wisp into it instead of Shadow Ball. The user hurls unsanitary sludge to the designated area, poisoning and damaging enemies over time in the radius. The poison duration increases at level 13.
