Its story
Lifestyle
Its toxins leave land barren for three years. It eats almost any waste. It evolves from Grimer; in Alola, over a hundred poisons power it.
In the anime
Ash caught the Muk leading Grimer at the Gringey City plant and sent it to Professor Oak, whom it often smothers with affection.
Name origin
Muk twists the word muck, meaning mud. It suggests living sludge born from toxic waste, and Dorotabō, a three-fingered yōkai of neglected mud.
