Template:Muk Muk (Japanese: ベトベトン Betobeton) is a Poison-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I. It becomes a Poison/Dark-type in Generation VII.
Biology
Physiology
Muk is a large purple mass of sludge, toxic fluids, and other filthy materials. It has two large arms that capture prey and its eyes are barely visible through the sludge.
In Alola, Muk’s appearance changes drastically. Rather than being just purple, Alolan Muk is a mixture of bright color tones that consist of pink, green, and yellow; this gives Muk the appearance of an oil slick. In addition, crystals formed by solidified toxins cover most of Muk’s mouth and hands that gives Muk the appearance of having claws and sharp teeth.
In terms of both body size and weight, a Kantonian Muk is larger but lighter while an Alolan Muk is smaller but heavier.
Behavior
Muk's body contains highly noxious chemicals that causes anyone nearby to faint. The chemicals also causes plant life to wither and die. Due to their ability to create pollution, Muk have been victims of extermination; some theorized that because of this, Muk would become extinct in the near future. To counteract this problem, people create sludge pools for Muks to live in.
Alolan Muk, unlike its Kantonian counterpart, produces no foul-smelling odors. Instead, all of the odors are stored within Muk's body and are in turn hardened into crystal-like structures covering its mouth and body; the "crystals" will break apart and release dangerous toxins if removed. The reason why Alolan Muk gains its bright coloration is the large quantities of trash it consumes. Alolan Muk's body contains numerous types of poison. It also preys on Trubbish and Garbodor. Although usually friendly and laidback, an Alolan Muk would consume and destroy its trainer's household items if left unfed for a prolonged period of time.
Natural abilities
Muk can have the ability Stench or the ability Sticky Hold. Stench decreases the chances of encountering a wild Pokémon when Muk is the first party Pokémon. Sticky Hold prevents the theft of Muk's held item. Muk has one of the highest attack points of all Poison-type Pokémon, losing only to Toxicroak.
Evolution
Muk is the evolved form of Grimer, evolving at level 38.

Appearances
Anime
In the anime, Ash has a Muk after he caught it to restore the power of a town. In the episode The Fourth Round Rumble, he later used it to battle a Bellsprout owned by a trainer called Jeanette, and was able to beat it thanks to Muk being able to absorb all of Bellsprout's attacks. Finally Muk was able to finish off Bellsprout and win with a Body Slam.

- Team Plasma's Muk (anime)

- Revengers' Muk
Trivia
- Muk has the shortest name of all Pokémon, tied with Mew.
- Muk, Weezing and Garbodor and their pre-evolutions are based on imagined fears that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and improper disposal of radioactive waste, may cause, the creation of new and undesirable lives.
- Because of this, these Pokémon are part of the fan-made "pollution trio", with Muk (and Grimer) representing liquid pollution.
- Muk, like Grimer, has a horrible stench that its sludge body produces. However, in all of the Oak's Lab scenes since its capture, Ash's Muk supposedly doesn't have this trademark smell after it was sent to the lab.
- Muk bears a resemblance to Dismarelda from Yo-Kai Watch.
Origin
Muk, in its Kantonian and Alolan forms, is based off of radioactive sludge or sludge monsters from folklore. Its Alolan Form is more heavily based off of oil slicks. The crystals attached to Alolan Muk most likely resemble sea glass, a type of glass worn down through physical and chemical changes and is usually found on beaches.
Etymology
Muk is a corruption of the word "muck", which refers to anything that is considered polluted.
