Ash's Muk is an extremely happy and affectionate Pokémon. It grew an attachment in particular to {{an|Professor Oak}} and as a recurring gag, it would always smother the Professor whenever Ash would make a call to the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]]. This was first seen twenty episodes after its capture, in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]''. Muk tackled Professor Oak in excitement in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', when Oak explained that Muk and {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}} had become just like him from its long period of living with him.

Muk's affection also extends to his Trainer, second in enthusiasm only to {{AP|Bayleef}}, despite only having fought for him on three occasions. Muk obligingly crushes Ash in excitement whenever Ash returns to the lab or summons it to his party. Its affection also extends to complete strangers, as was seen when it completely ignored [[Jessie's Lickitung]] in order to hug her, also smothering [[James's Victreebel]] in excitement. It also smothered [[Professor Birch#In the anime|Professor Birch]] upon meeting him in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

Its affection even extends to antagonists, as seen both in the aforementioned encounter with Jessie and James, and also in a special episode, ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', when it actually appeared sad that {{AP|Totodile}} drove [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] away. As Professor Oak said to Jessie, Muk loves humans, and it is not very particular to which kind.
