I love this, because I got one with black sludge by complete accident, yet i can't get a goddamn slowbro to show up.

>get grimer at level 10
>it has black sludge
>use grimebro for the rest of the game

I had to chain to do it. About 14 grimers in. Single encounters just weren't cutting it.
Anyways, false swiping them works just as well, since you will see them heal at the end of the turn if they have the sludge. Then just catch them.

Tfw first grimer I ever encountered had one, and proceeded to be one of the mvps on my team

False, I farmed stardust from staryus on Hano beach and was oneshotting them constantly with thief and still gaining the item.

Catch and release is much simpler for held item farming.

just catch a slowpoke and evolve it?
