Pokédex Description

Generation 1

Yellow

Made of hardened sludge. It smells too putrid to touch. Even weeds won't grow in its path.

Generation 2

Wherever GRIMER has passed, so many germs are left behind that no plants will ever grow again.

Sun

Its main source of food is the slimy industrial waste of factories. This Pokémon’s numbers have been decreasing in recent years.

Moon

It was born from sludge transformed by exposure to X-rays from the moon. When its internal load of germs decreases, it dies.

Ultra Sun

It was born from sludge on the ocean floor. In a sterile environment, the germs within its body can’t multiply, and it dies.

Ultra Moon

The wastewater coming from factories is clean these days, so Grimer have nothing to eat. They’re said to be on the verge of extinction.
