'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

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

==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 dress. 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 is 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, {{p|Snorlax}}.

''"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."''

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}} and {{p|Pyukumuku}}, has the lowest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon.
* Munchlax has the highest base stat total of all [[baby Pokémon]].
** It also has the highest base {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Attack}} stats of all baby Pokémon.
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in three games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]: {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], and {{g|Dash}}.
** Although obtainable through hacking in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} as it has an index number, unlike {{p|Bonsly}} it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
* Munchlax is the heaviest [[baby Pokémon]], weighing in at 231.5 lbs. (105.0 kg).
* Munchlax's {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number (Generation III)|index number}} is the very last in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} (excluding {{p|Unown}} forms).
* Munchlax's evolution family is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Munchlax's trophy information states it first appeared in Diamond and Pearl instead of Pokémon Dash. This is a similar case with {{p|Bonsly}} and {{p|Togepi}}.
* Munchlax has the highest {{stat|HP}} of all unevolved Pokémon.

===Origin===
Munchlax is most likely 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).

====Name origin====
Munchlax is a combination of ''munch'' (to chew on food) and ''lax'' or ''relax''.

Gonbe may be a combination of ''Kabigon'' ({{p|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name) and ''baby''. It may also derive from 権兵衛 ''gonbē'', popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days.

'''Excadrill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドリュウズ''' ''Doryuzu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Drilbur}} starting at [[level]] 31.

==Biology==
Excadrill has a dark brown body with diagonal, red splotches. Three markings are on its front, with two under each arm, and two on its back. It has short legs with small, narrow feet, each containing three toes. Its small white face is long and thin, tipped by its pink nose. Its eyes are set back, on either side of the bridge of the nose. Under them, on each side, are two thin, red stripes. A large blade roughly twice as large as its face extends from its forehead. The top of the blade contains two smaller blades, resembling fins. Its arms are thick and have three large blades instead of fingers, with two smaller blades on top of the middle ones. On its knees, halfway down its arm, and just behind where its forehead meets its face, are small red spots.

Excadrill can straighten its entire body, allowing it to spin like a drill. It has the ability to cut through iron and steel plating. It uses its excellent digging abilities to build complex tunnels for its nest at more than 300 feet (100 meters) below the surface. Its tunneling can be both beneficial and harmful to humans, as it can help workers with its swift digging prowess, but it can be detrimental to underground structures, such as Subway tunnels.

==Trivia==
[[File:BW Prerelease double battle.png|thumb|250px|A screenshot depicting Excadrill's earlier design]]
* Its base HP stat is the same as that of [[Excadrill (Emerging Powers 56)|its first TCG counterpart]].
* In [[Pokémon Black and White beta|early promotional videos for Black and White]], Excadrill had mirrored markings on its midsection and a different body coloring.
* Excadrill is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 508.
* Excadrill is the only Pokémon which is able to learn more than one [[One-hit knockout move]] by leveling up: {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fissure}}.

===Origin===
Excadrill is based on a {{wp|mole (animal)|mole}} with characteristics of digging tools such as shovels and drills.

====Name origin====
Excadrill might be a combination of ''excavate'' and ''drill''. It might also be a play on "escadrille", the French word for a squadron of aircraft, which Excadrill's claws vaguely resemble.

Doryuzu may be a combination of ドリル ''drill'', meaning "drill", 竜 ''ryū'' as in on'yomi reading of 土竜 ''doryū'', meaning "mole", and 渦 ''uzu'', meaning "spiral" or "swirl".
