Description
Grimer
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.
It was born from sludge on the ocean floor. In a sterile environment, the germs within its body can’t multiply, and it dies.
It was born from sludge transformed by exposure to X-rays from the moon. When its internal load of germs decreases, it dies.
