: Beware the poisonous liquid it shoots from its right arm. If even a little of it gets on you, you’ll experience the effects of the unidentified toxin.
: For a time, their numbers increased explosively in Alola. Since the arrival of Grimer, their population has decreased dramatically.
: It locks opponents in place with its left hand, immobilizing them by entirely dousing their bodies with poisonous liquid.
: Some say the reason Garbodor in Alola are a little stronger than their counterparts elsewhere is the presence of Muk, their natural enemy.
