In-Depth Analysis
With a base stat total of 500, Muk plays as a slow bruiser that trades speed for raw hitting power. Its standout stat is HP at 105, while Speed (50) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.
Defensively, the Poison, Dark combination gives Muk 4 resistances, 1 immunity, and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 4 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A catch rate of 75 puts Muk in the moderate range — a few Great Balls usually get the job done. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants HP +1, Attack +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
