roselia and monferno
Cacturne @ Life Orb
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Rash Nature
- Energy Ball
- Dark Pulse
- Focus Blast
- Sucker Punch
Fantastic partner that has seen plenty of use alongside Muk for its ability to both deal with most Muk checks/counters (Golem, Metang, Psychic-types) and abuse the support Muk brings (beats Clef and Vullaby, general wallbreaking).
Murkrow @ Life Orb
Ability: Super Luck
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Brave Bird
- Sucker Punch
- Heat Wave
- Hidden Power [Grass]
Muk & Murkrow share similar checks. Muk can weaken Murkrow's checks, ie; Metang, Mawile, Probopass, Golem; and Murkrow does the same for Muk. They also share decent defensive synergy with one another - with Murkrow being immune to both Muk's weaknesses and Muk easily being able to take coverage moves aimed at Murkrow.

Monferno @ Eviolite
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Mach Punch
Monferno is an excellent partner alongside Muk because, it synergizes well being able to check and provide offense presence vs Steels, which obstruct Muk from setting up Curse.
Bronzor @ Eviolite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Psywave
- Rest
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
Bronzor is a great partner for Muk as it switches in on and beats a lot of Steel and Ground types in the tier including Golem, Probopass and Metang. Also if Muk runs Sticky Hold it can absorb weaker Knock Offs for Bronzor as it hates getting it's Eviolite removed. Lastly Bronzor can set up Stealth Rock for Muk to help it wallbreak.
Reserving Politoed
Politoed @ Leftovers
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Electric
- Encore
Politoed is a nice offensive partner to Muk. Politoed deals, to a certain degree, with Ground types (Golem, Camerupt, Vibrava), Rock types (Solrock, Armaldo, Crustle), and it can act as a decently good switch in to common Steel type checks such as Mawile and Metang. In return, Muk is able to check common Grass answers to Politoed such as Roselia, Leafeon and Tangela that Politoed struggles with. Also, Politoed is able to check a lot of set-up sweepers that take advantage of Muk's "choiced" state with Encore such as CroMuk and Duosion.
I vote for Cacturne and Floatzel
Floatzel @ Life Orb
Ability: Water Veil
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 1 Atk / 30 SpA
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Electric]
- Taunt
Special Floatzel makes for a perfect partner for CB Muk as it kills or puts them in range of Muks coverage moves. Muk also can come in on most of Special Floatzel's checks and counters mainly being grass types such as Roselia and Non EQ Gogoat, but other stuff such as Clefairy and Lumineon and killing or crippling them. Muk basically breaks most teams for Floatzel as Floatzel elimnates stuff like Stunfisk,Golem, and Probopass. While Muk breaks teams for a faster; Floatzel to sweep,
