Strategy Overview
For the most part, Grimer's role as a Sticky Hold user is done better by Trubbish, which has access to Recycle, allowing it to recover its Berry Juice, although Grimer has more of an offensive presence and a bit more bulk. Grimer also boasts access to the elemental punches, something Trubbish lacks. If you need a niche check to Spritzee and Pawniard, Grimer may have some use to you.
