Strategy Overview
Grimer's poor typing, coupled with its imbalanced stat distribution, makes it seem a bit underwhelming at first glance, and this might drive some people away from using it. However, Grimer's fair amount of bulk and great Attack stat actually allow it to be an effective offensive Pokemon. Its extensive movepool allows it to help break down walls or even sweep late-game with its great type coverage. No matter what Grimer's job is, it will be a great asset to any team.
