Ash's Muk

This Muk is a -type Pokémon owned by Ash. It was the ninth Pokémon caught by Ash in Kanto.
==Biography==
===The Beginning series===
Ash and his friends were traveling through Gringey City, which was in the middle of a blackout. The reason for this is due to the power plant being over run by a gang of Grimer. After the Grimer were defeated, the gang's leader, a Muk, challenged Ash who used Pikachu and a wild Magnemite who had been following Pikachu do to an electrical build-up. After Muk was weakened by Magnemite and Magneton, Ash managed to catch it. However, since its stench could be smelt even through the Poké Ball, Ash sent Muk straight to Professor Oak.TB030: Sparks Fly for Magnemite
During his stay at the lab, Muk developed an attachment to Prof. Oak and would constantly smother him whenever Ash would make a call to the lab. Muk has been used in only two major battles since it was captured; the first of which when it defeated Jeanette Fisher's Bellsprout in the fourth round of the Indigo League.TB079: The Fourth Round Rumble

Ash returned Muk to his team for a brief period where it was used to find a large Bulbasaur that was residing in the sewers.TB104: The Mystery Menace

During the Silver Conference, Muk battled against Gary. It actually caused problems for Gary's Blastoise, as it was able to endure all of his attacks with ease, but it was a stalemate, as even it's strongest attack Sludge Bomb was deflected by Rapid Spin. Muk was also able to tank all of his Scizor's attacks as well, but it was thrown into the air and was hit with Swift, which was a 1 hit KO.GS154: Can't Beat the Heat!
