About Muk Muk is the evolved form of Grimer and retains its Poison-type as the Sludge Pokémon. It is a larger and more powerful version of its pre-evolved form, with a massive and noxious body composed of toxic sludge. Muk’s appearance and odor are repulsive, making it an intimidating sight on the battlefield. It is often found in areas with heavy pollution, where it feeds on the waste produced by humans and industries. Muk’s slimy body and strong limbs allow it to crawl and slide through tight spaces effortlessly. Despite its unpleasant appearance, Muk is a fascinating Pokémon with a unique adaptation to its polluted environment. As a Poison-type Pokémon, Muk has an advantage against Grass and Fairy-type Pokémon, but it is weak against Ground and Psychic-type Pokémon.

Evolution Muk evolves from Grimer starting at level 38.

Training and Experience Gain To strengthen Muk, focus on battles against Grass and Fairy-type Pokémon to gain an advantage and increased experience points. Defeat wild Pokémon and participate in trainer battles to help Muk level up faster.
