Pokédex Entries¶

Platinum Diamond Pearl Heartgold Soulsilver

It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon’s X-rays. It appears among filth.

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.
