ベトベター

Grimer is a slimy, amorphous Pokémon that originates from sludge in polluted streams or seabeds exposed to lunar radiation. It features two large eyes with beady pupils and a gaping mouth containing a gray tongue. Although it lacks visible legs, it possesses two arms, each with three digits. Its purple, sludge-like body harbors various pungent bacteria so potent that they render soil barren and unable to support plant life. Grimer constantly oozes a bacteria-rich fluid from its entire body. If it depletes its internal germs, Grimer will die. Fragments often break off during travel and develop into new Grimer. When combined with another Grimer, it generates new poisonous compounds.
Because it lacks a solid form, Grimer can easily squeeze into any space or crevice. It uses this ability to penetrate sewage pipes and feed on the filthy wastewater inside. Its population fluctuates depending on the availability of waste, which constitutes its primary diet. It inhabits polluted lakes and streams, as well as cities and factories where trash and industrial waste are present. In recent years, due to environmental improvement efforts and a reduction in its food source, Grimer is now facing extinction.
Forms
Grimer has a regional variant: Alolan Grimer.
Grimer was introduced to Alola to manage the excess waste produced by the region's growing population. Alolan Grimer consumes solid garbage rather than sludge; this dietary shift has altered its body composition and form. Alolan Grimer's body is green, featuring a line of yellow sludge along its lower lip that extends around the back of its head, a bright blue tongue, and small black crescent-shaped markings behind its eyes. It also has two blunt "teeth" in its upper jaw, which are actually crystallized toxins resulting from its diet. The method for breaking down these toxic crystals is unknown, but direct contact with them is known to be dangerous. Lethal poisons leak from Alolan Grimer's body when these crystals fall out. Since it produces and stores toxins internally, Alolan Grimer does not emit the foul stench characteristic of Kantonian Grimer.
Approximately one hundred Alolan Grimer are typically found living near waste-disposal sites in Alola, assisting humans with garbage management. Alolan Grimer is widely utilized and is a very popular Pokémon in garbage disposal facilities worldwide. It is perpetually hungry and must constantly consume trash. If trash is not readily available, it will eat other manufactured products instead. In addition to garbage, Alolan Grimer preys on Trubbish and Garbodor; its introduction to Alola caused their populations to decline in the region. They can also be found in the Coastal Biome of Blueberry Academy's Terarium, where Alola's island life is simulated.
