Abilities
| Ability | Description |
|---|---|
| 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. |

Pokédex descriptions

| Pearl | It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon’s X-rays. It appears among filth. |
| Platinum | It was born when sludge in a dirty stream was exposed to the moon’s X-rays. It appears among filth. |
| HeartGold | As it moves, it loses bits of its body, from which new GRIMER emerge. This worsens the stench around it. |
| SoulSilver | Wherever GRIMER has passed, so many germs are left behind that no plants will ever grow again. |
