About Grimer Grimer is a Poison-type Pokémon known as the Sludge Pokémon. It is composed of toxic sludge and waste materials that have combined to form a unique and somewhat unsettling creature. Grimer is often found in polluted areas, such as city sewers and industrial zones, where it thrives on the waste produced by humans. Its slimy body allows it to slip through tight spaces and even squeeze into narrow pipes. Grimer’s presence is a sign of environmental pollution, and it is considered a nuisance by many. As a Poison-type Pokémon, Grimer has an advantage against Grass and Fairy-type Pokémon, but it is weak against Ground and Psychic-type Pokémon.

Evolution Grimer evolves into Muk starting at level 38.
