Muk (Japanese: ベトベトン Betbeton) is a Poison-type pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Grimer starting at level 38.
In Alola, Muk has a dual-type Poison/Dark regional form, Alolan Muk. It evolves from Alolan Grimer starting at level 38. These Muk can also be found in Blueberry Academy's Terarium.
Alolan Muk has a more vibrant coloration, consisting of green, pink, and yellow stripes with thin blue bands in between. The green, yellow, and pink stripes are capable of shifting downwards while the blue stays in place. It has various white, crystallized poison shards protruding from parts of its body, especially from its mouth and fingers, giving the impression of claws and fangs. It has blue eyes with a black space behind them and a bright blue tongue. Its vivid coloration is a result of the garbage it eats, which causes chemical changes in its body. Its body contains over a hundred different kinds of poisons. Chemical reactions of different poisons occurring within its body is the source of Alolan Muk's vitality.
Alolan Muk is unexpectedly quiet and friendly. However, if it is not fed trash for a while, its hunger will compel it to destroy its Trainer's furnishings for food. It is thought that it cannot maintain its energy without a constant source of toxins, which causes its voracious appetite. The crystals covering its body have a tendency to break off, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with due to the concentrated toxins contained within them. Unlike Kantonian Muk, Alolan Muk does not produce a foul stench due to its toxins being contained within its body. Alolan Muk preys on Trubbish and Garbodor. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.
Alolan Muk and its pre-evolved form, Alolan Grimer, are the only known pokémon that can have Power of Alchemy as an Ability.
