Pokédex Flavour (description)
- Red/Blue

- Gold
- They love to gather in smelly areas where sludge accumulates, making the stench around them worse.

- Crystal
- As it moves, a very strong poison leaks from it, making the ground there barren for three years.

- Sapphire
- This POKéMON's favorite food is anything that is repugnantly filthy. In dirty towns where people think nothing of throwing away litter on the streets, MUK are certain to gather.
- Emerald
- It prefers warm and humid habitats. In the summertime, the toxic substances in its body intensify, making MUK reek like putrid kitchen garbage.
