Biology

Garbodor clenches opponents with its left arm and finishes them off with foul-smelling poison gas belched from its mouth. The poisonous liquid it shoots from its right hand fingertips is so virulent that it can kill a weakened creature instantly. Garbodor absorb garbage and make it part of their bodies, and consuming garbage makes new kinds of poison gases and liquids inside their bodies.

If even a little of it gets on you, you will experience the effects of the unidentified toxins. For a time, their numbers increased explosively in Alola, but since the arrival of Grimer, their population has decreased dramatically. Some say the reason Garbodor in Alola are a little stronger than their counterparts elsewhere is the presence of Muk, their natural enemy.

Forms

Gigantamax Garbodor

In its Gigantamax form, Garbodor has various discarded and worn-out objects such as stuffed toys and toy boats melded into its body. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Malodor.
