===Origin===
===Origin===
Munchlax is most likely based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its habits may also be based on the fact that bears eat a lot of food before hibernating, which Snorlax seems to do a lot more of. Also the fact that they are found in and around Honey Trees adds up to what they are based on, as most bears (especially black bears) love honey.
Munchlax appears to be based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its eating habits correspond to those of bears preparing to hibernate, including the consumption of honey (Munchlax is found in honey-slathered trees). The mask-like pattern of fur around its face resembles a {{wp|balaclava (clothing)|balaclava}}, comparable to a thief's, especially as Munchlax often steals garbage and compost while looking for food — another behavior associated with bears. The yellow patch of fur over its chest resembles a baby's {{wp|bib (garment)|bib}}.

Munchlax (Japanese: ゴンベ Gonbe) is a Normal-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Snorlax when leveled up with high friendship.

It was the first Generation IV Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

Along with Starly and Pachirisu, Munchlax is one of the three Partner Pokémon of Almia available at the beginning of Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.

Biology

Munchlax is a teal Pokémon with a cream spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream feet with three clawed toes. The fur close to the bottom of a Munchlax seems to resemble a robe. Munchlax has two pointy teeth that stick out of its mouth even if closed.

It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food, but it is usually very slow-moving. Munchlax tends to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. Its stomach allows it to eat nearly anything, even rotten food, and they are indifferent to flavor. It can also eat many servings of food at a time without chewing and rarely gets full. It eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, Snorlax. Munchlax tends to raid villages for food intended to be thrown away.

Evolution

Munchlax evolves into Snorlax.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to Game data→Evolution data.)

After being released from a Poké Ball, Munchlax walks around and uses Pickup to eat items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy, or a Poké Ball.

Trophy information

"A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it sees food it moves surprisingly fast. It's native in the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."

Sun It needs to consume its own weight in food every day. As far as flavor is concerned, it's indifferent.
Moon When it finds something that looks like it might be edible, it goes right ahead and swallows it whole. That's why it gets fatter day by day.
Ultra Sun It hides food under its long fur, but it sometimes forgets about it and causes a stinky disturbance.
Ultra Moon Anything that looks edible, Munchlax will go on and swallow whole. Its stomach is tough enough to handle it even if the food has gone rotten.

Trivia

Origin

Munchlax appears to be based on a baby bear. Its eating habits correspond to those of bears preparing to hibernate, including the consumption of honey (Munchlax is found in honey-slathered trees). The mask-like pattern of fur around its face resembles a balaclava, comparable to a thief's, especially as Munchlax often steals garbage and compost while looking for food — another behavior associated with bears. The yellow patch of fur over its chest resembles a baby's bib.

Name origin

Munchlax may be a combination of munch (to chew on food) and lax, relax, or Snorlax.

Gonbe may be a combination of カビゴン Kabigon (Snorlax), baby, and possibly a play on 権兵衛 Gonbē (common placeholder name for peasants in the old days).
