CARDEX BACKGROUND

About the species

Grimer slips through the smallest openings and travels through sewer pipes in search of stagnant water. The Pokédex links its origin to polluted sludge and its gelatinous body's survival to its microbes. In a place that is too clean, it wastes away. As toxic discharges decrease, some entries even describe it as short of food. Its existence thus reveals an unsettling link between human-made pollution and a Pokémon dependent on it.

This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Moon presents the decline in toxic waste released by factories as a threat to Grimer. Pokémon Ultra Sun notes that its bacteria cannot thrive in an environment that is too clean. An improvement for residents can therefore weaken this species born from pollution.
