    Abilities

    Stench

    This Pokémon's damaging moves have a 10% chance to make the target flinch with each hit if they do not already cause flinching as a secondary effect. This ability does not stack with a held item. Overworld: The wild encounter rate is halved while this Pokémon is first in the party.

    Sticky Hold

    This Pokémon's hold item cannot be removed by other Pokémon. Damaging moves that would remove this Pokémon's item can still inflict damage against this Pokémon, e.g. Knock Off or Pluck. This Pokémon can still use moves that involve the loss of its own item, e.g. Fling or Trick. Overworld: If the lead Pokémon has this ability, the encounter rate while fishing is increased.

    Poison TouchHidden

    This Pokémon's contact moves have a 30% chance of poisoning the target with each hit. This counts as an extra effect for the purposes of Shield Dust. This ability takes effect before Mummy.

    Let’s Go, Pikachu! · Let’s Go, Eevee!

    Their food sources have decreased, and their numbers have declined sharply. Sludge ponds are being built to prevent their extinction.

    Ultra Sun

    Because they scatter germs everywhere, they’ve long been targeted for extermination, leading to a steep decline in their population.

    Ultra Moon

    The stench it gives off will make your nose scrunch up. Still, there are Muk fans who think that’s a good thing.

    Sun

    After recent environmental improvements, this Pokémon is now hardly seen at all. People speculate that it may go extinct at some point.

    Moon

    From Muk’s body seeps a foul fluid that gives off a nose-bendingly horrible stench. Just one drop of this Pokémon’s body fluid can turn a pool stagnant and rancid.

    Omega Ruby

    This Pokémon’s favorite food is anything that is repugnantly filthy. In dirty towns where people think nothing of throwing away litter on the streets, Muk are certain to gather.

    Alpha Sapphire

    A toxic fluid seeps from its body. The fluid instantly kills plants and trees on contact.

    Y · Black · White · Platinum · Diamond · Pearl

    They love to gather in smelly areas where sludge accumulates, making the stench around them worse.

    X · HeartGold

    It’s so stinky! Muk’s body contains toxic elements, and any plant will wilt when it passes by.

    Black 2 · White 2

    Its body is made of a powerful poison. Touching it accidentally will cause a fever that requires bed rest.

    SoulSilver

    Thickly covered with a filthy, vile sludge. It is so toxic, even its footprints contain poison.

    LeafGreen · Red · Blue

    It is usually undetectable because it blends in with the ground. Touching it can cause terrible poisoning.

    FireRed

    It prefers warm and humid habitats. In the summertime, the toxic substances in its body intensify, making MUK reek like putrid kitchen garbage.

    Emerald

    From MUK’s body seeps a foul fluid that gives off a nose-bendingly horrible stench. Just one drop of this POKéMON’s body fluid can turn a pool stagnant and rancid.

    Ruby

    This POKéMON’s favorite food is anything that is repugnantly filthy. In dirty towns where people think nothing of throwing away litter on the streets, MUK are certain to gather.

    Sapphire

    As it moves, a very strong poison leaks from it, making the ground there barren for three years.

    Crystal

    They love to gath­ er in smelly areas where sludge ac­ cumulates, making the stench around them worse.

    Gold

    Its body is made of a powerful poi­ son. Touching it accidentally will cause a fever that requires bed rest.

    Silver

    Smells so awful, it can cause fainting. Through degeneration, it lost its sense of smell.
