Pokédex descriptions
Lets Go Eevee
Made of congealed sludge. It smells too putrid to touch. Even weeds won’t grow in its path.
Ultra Moon
The wastewater coming from factories is clean these days, so Grimer have nothing to eat. They’re said to be on the verge of extinction.
Ultra Sun
It was born from sludge on the ocean floor. In a sterile environment, the germs within its body can’t multiply, and it dies.
