Strategy
Mud-Slap has low damage output without STAB, so non-Ground types would primarily be considering the range and Accuracy drop when evaluating this move. While not necessarily bad traits, there are many moves available at low-level with higher power or more useful effects — examples include Tackle, Absorb, Ember, Water Gun, and Poison Sting. As such, Mud-Slap is likely to be used mostly on early floors to allow gaining experience from enemies, and forgotten once stronger moves are learned.
