As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new GRIMER emerge. This worsens the stench around it.
Wherever GRIMER has passed, so many germs are left behind that no plants will ever grow again.
When two of these POKéMON's bodies are combined together, new poisons are created.
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.
GRIMER emerged from the sludge that settled on a polluted seabed. This POKéMON loves anything filthy. It constantly leaks a horribly germ- infested fluid from all over its body.

Sludge exposed to X rays from the moon transformed into GRIMER. It loves feeding on filthy things.
