Thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories. Made of hardened sludge. It smells too putrid to touch. Even weeds won't grow in its path. As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new Grimer emerge. This worsens the stench around it. Wherever Grimer has passed, so many germs are left behind that no plants will ever grow again. When two of these Pokémon's bodies are combined together, new poisons are created. 105 105 75 50 65 400 80 80 50 25 40 50 325

It has saucer-like eyes, and a gray mouth. Grimer may be distantly related to Koffing, another Pokémon that is associated with pollution. Grimer emits a very pungent, noisome odor. Since Grimer's body lacks a solid form, it can slip through the smallest of openings. Grimer's germ-infested entrails cause the ground that it passes over to be unable to bear any plant life. As far as Grimer's skills in battle are concerned, Grimer mainly attacks by flinging poisonous Sludge (or mud) at its foes. As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new Grimer emerge. This is said to worsen the stench around it. Grimer thrive anywhere there is pollution. Grimer tend to feed on sludge, sewage, and other filthy things. Grimer appears to be a pile of living sludge. Grimer's name seems to be a corruption of "grime," dirt.
