Muk
Plan this partner in PokéBonk
This analysis describes the Grimer League partner and its evolution line, not necessarily the current form alone.
A permanent 15% damage-taken reduction is valuable throughout a run. Grimer's rooted poison zones and Muk's pulling-puddle Ultimate add space control without relying solely on a perfect damage roll.
Trade-off: Poison-zone value depends on enemies staying in useful positions around the trail.
Passive: Muddy Body
Ultimate progression: Sludge Tide / Gulp
Curated kit: Poison Gas (Lv. 1) · Sludge (Lv. 2) · Shadow Sneak (Lv. 4) · Belch (Lv. 7)
Later moves become eligible offers; they are not automatically equipped.
League analysis and kit: v0.8.25, checked October 23, 2026. Individual unlock checklists and linked builds carry their own source dates.
