Appears in filthy areas. Thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories.
As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new GRIMER emerge. This worsens the stench around it.
GRIMER’s sludgy and rubbery body can be forced through any opening, however small it may be. This POKéMON enters sewer pipes to drink filthy wastewater.
It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon’s X-rays. It appears among filth.

Sludge exposed to X-rays from the moon transformed into Grimer. It loves feeding on filthy things.
Its main source of food is the slimy industrial waste of factories. This Pokémon’s numbers have been decreasing in recent years.
