What are some good nicknames for Grimer and Muk? The prevolved form of Muk, Grimer is a slimy, amorphous Pokémon, born from sludge in dirty streams or seabeds that are exposed to lunar radiation. Also a Poison type Pokémon introduced in Generation 1, it is known as the Sludge Pokémon and looks like something straight out of a horror film! Grimer earned its place higher up on this list than you might expect, due to how often it gets overlooked, but is actually pretty cool. Quite the underrated Pokemon, Grimer has a very high base 80 Attack and HP, along with good base 50 Defenses. Its typing is a blessing in a Fighting-type filled metagame, and its ability, Sticky Hold, prevents Knock Off from removing its item, making it literally the best Mienfoo counter available. Don't knock this Pokemon til you try it!
Its evolved form, Muk, is pretty iconic; Muk, not to be confused with its rainbow explosion of a version that is Alolan Muk, is a large, sticky, amorphous Pokémon made of living purple sludge, that arose from the depths of Generation 1 as a Poison Type Pokemon. Like its typing suggests, it is poisonous (or at least offensive) to pretty much every sensory organ and it is said to smell so bad it can cause widespread fainting. Through degeneration of its nose, it lost its sense of smell and it also went on to become a dual Poison and Dark Type Pokemon in Generation 7. What should I call my Muk or Grimer?
