Pokedex descriptions
| Red/Blue | Appears in filthy areas. Thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Made of hardened sludge. It smells too putrid to touch. Even weeds won't grow in its path. |
| Gold | As it moves, it loses bits of its body from which new GRIMER emerge. This worsens the stench around it. |
| Silver | Wherever GRIMER has passed, so many germs are left behind that no plants will ever grow again. |
| Crystal | When two of these POKéMON's bodies are combined together, new poisons are created. |
| Ruby | GRIMER's sludgy and rubbery body can be forced through any opening, however small it may be. This POKéMON enters sewer pipes to drink filthy wastewater. |
| Sapphire | GRIMER emerged from the sludge that settled on a polluted seabed. This POKéMON loves anything filthy. It constantly leaks a horribly germ- infested fluid from all over its body. |
| Emerald | Born from polluted sludge in the sea, GRIMER's favorite food is anything filthy. They feed on wastewater pumped out from factories. |
| FireRed | Sludge exposed to X rays from the moon transformed into GRIMER. It loves feeding on filthy things. |
| LeafGreen | Appears in filthy areas. It thrives by sucking up polluted sludge that is pumped out of factories. |
| Diamond | It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon's X-rays. It appears among filth. |
| Pearl | It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon's X-rays. It appears among filth. |
