Gold

They love to gath­ er in smelly areas where sludge ac­ cumulates, making the stench around them worse.

Silver

Its body is made of a powerful poi­ son. Touching it accidentally will cause a fever that requires bed rest.

Crystal

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

Ruby

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.

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.
