Overview
Grimer is a Poison-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Sludge Pokemon (Dex #091). It stands 2'11" tall and weighs 66.1 lbs. Grimer has the Litter specialty, which means it drops Nonburnable Garbage near its home as a passive resource. While garbage might sound useless, Nonburnable Garbage is actually a crafting material that can be recycled by Pokemon with the Recycle specialty.
The Pokedex describes Grimer: "Born from sludge, these Pokemon now gather in polluted places and increase the bacteria in their bodies." In Pokopia, Grimer prefers dark environments and is drawn to garbage, spooky stuff, and shiny objects. It shares the Marsh Fishing Spot habitat with Muk and Clodsire.
Habitat
Grimer appears in the Marsh Fishing Spot habitat (#186). The habitat description reads: "Pokemon live in marshlands too! Try casting your line into some swampy water sometime."
Item | Quantity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Fishing Rod | 1 | Crafted at a workbench |
Seat (any) | 1 | Any seat variant works |
Muddy Water | 1 | Found in swampy areas or crafted |
Three Pokemon share the Marsh Fishing Spot habitat: Grimer at Common rarity, Muk at Rare rarity, and Clodsire (#118) at Rare rarity. If you build this habitat, you are most likely to encounter Grimer first due to its Common spawn rate.
Specialty: Litter
Grimer has the Litter specialty. Pokemon with Litter will drop useful materials near their homes. In Grimer's case, it produces Nonburnable Garbage as its litter item. Nonburnable Garbage can be converted into useful materials by Pokemon with the Recycle specialty, such as Koffing and Weezing. This creates an efficient recycling pipeline: station Grimer near a Recycle Pokemon to turn its waste into Iron Ore or other materials.

Tips
Grimer and Muk share identical Dark environment preferences and similar liked items. If you place them together in the same area, one set of decorations satisfies both.
Pair Grimer with a Recycle Pokemon like Koffing or Weezing to create a garbage-to-Iron-Ore pipeline. This is one of the most efficient ways to farm crafting materials passively.
The Marsh Fishing Spot habitat gives you a chance at three different Pokemon. If you are after Grimer specifically, you will usually get it quickly since it spawns at Common rarity.
Decorate Grimer's area with garbage items, spooky decorations, shiny objects, and containers to boost its Comfort Level.
