Muk

Sludge Pokémon

Poison

From MUK’s body seeps a foul fluid that gives off a nose-bendingly horrible stench. Just one drop of this POKéMON’s body fluid can turn a pool stagnant and rancid.

Strategy Overview

In UU, Muk is very hard to beat if you don't know the set. I recommend Muk for any UU team. It also has a very high cool factor.
