Mud-Slap is a Ground-type move that was originally introduced in the 2nd Generation. The user inflicts damage on an opponent as they throw mud at them. It also lowers the opponent’s accuracy. Plenty of companions already know it, from Toedscool to Barboach. Even more, learn it from leveling up like Dudunsparce (Level 4) and Grimer (Level 7).
Several Pokémon, such as Eevee, Houndour, Glaceon, and more, can learn it via TM. If you want to teach the move, you’ll have to find TM005 Mud-Slap in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. There are two main places you can search:
