Tutor Moves
The level-up pool tells the story here. Alolan Muk learns Moonblast and Sludge Bomb naturally, plus enough variety that TMs feel like bonuses. Coverage across 10 types extends the reach beyond that.

Don't skip the egg moves. Alolan Muk picks up Assurance and Clear Smog only through breeding, and both fill gaps the natural movepool can't. STAB runs through Gunk Shot and Belch while coverage across 9 types adds range.

Alolan Muk Weakness
Ground moves hit Alolan Muk for super-effective damage. The upside? Psychic-type moves can't touch it at all. The Poison/Dark typing picks up 4 resistances to work with. Alolan Muk's special bulk (base 100 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Ground |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Grass, Poison, Ghost, Dark |
| 0x (Immune) | Psychic |
