Type/s: Poison
HP: 403
AttacK: 308
Defense: 248
Speed: 198
Special: 228
Muk is pretty cool. While his stats suck overall, it's his good stats that are in fact so awesome that allow it to be used. It also helps that it has a good movepool and can Explode too.
Explosion
Sludge
Body Slam/Screech
Hyper Beam
With impressive HP and attack stats, Muk looks pretty promising. But then you see that it's poison and now Muk is weak to psychic and ground. Its special stat doesn't help matters either.
Muk's main use is as an exploder, and 308 attack makes it the 2nd strongest exploder in the game. In fact Golem, the strongest exploder, only has 10 more points of attack. When Muk doesn't need to explode it should use Sludge on everything, as its backed by STAB and you could do worse than 65 BP. Body Slam is still useful for para though, and Hyper Beam is for those non-suicide finishing blows.
Screech is an option over Body Slam because it can force switches as well as greatly increase the damage of your attacks.
Other options: Some people think Fire Blast is good on Muk because it hits fire types. This actually isn't true, as Sludge will always hit for more damage. For instance, Sludge against Exeggutor will average to 178 damage, whereas Fire Blast only averages to 126 damage.
However, what is usable is Thunderbolt mainly because it 2HKOs Gyarados and 3HKOs Cloyster. Additionally you can try Thunder which will also 3HKO Omastar and Kabutops.
