Munchlax (Japanese: ゴンベ Gonbe) is a Normal-type baby Pokémon.
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.
Biology
Physiology
Munchlax has a teal-colored body with a cream-colored 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-colored 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 when it is closed.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Munchlax can gulp down food without chewing.
Behavior
Munchlax behaves quite opposite of its evolution, Snorlax, as it is somewhat hyperactive. It is very similar with its eating patterns, however. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food. Munchlax tend to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. It can also eat very many servings of food at a time, and rarely gets full.
Habitat
Wild Munchlax can only be found in honey trees in the games, so it is apparent that they spend most of their time eating honey off honey trees, although this is not officially confirmed.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
Munchlax eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, Snorlax. It will eat nearly anything. It can rarely become full and will eat constantly, unlike Snorlax, who eats in between sleeping.

Pokédex entries

In the manga
In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga
Munchlax is seen under the ownership of Nazuna, helping its owner defend the Sun Sun bakery when it is attacked by Team Galactic.
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
- Main article: Lax (Adventures)
Diamond owns a Munchlax named Lax which, like him, has a very gluttonous nature, prone to eating dozens of people's worth of snacks out the get-go. Despite being a baby Pokémon with little training, it showed considerable stamina and durability when being used by Platinum to fight Fantina. It also often hides countless Berries under its fur to serve as distractions.
In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure manga
In the fifth chapter, a Collector, Ruin Maniac, Psychic and Galactic Grunt are all searching for a Munchlax, which is said to be very rare. Its Pickup Ability takes Hareta's Pokédex but Munchlax returns it later.
In the TCG
- Main article: Munchlax (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
After being released from a Poké Ball, Munchlax walks around and eats 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."

Trivia
- Munchlax, along with Shuckle, has the lowest base Speed stat of all Pokémon.
- Munchlax has the highest base stats total of all baby Pokémon, at 390.
- Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
- Munchlax appeared in three games before its generation; Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the first Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Dash.
- Although obtainable through hacking in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness as it has an index number, unlike 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.
- Munchlax's index number is the very last in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (excluding Unown forms).
- Munchlax's evolution family is the only one to have all of its members appear from a 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 Bonsly and Togepi.
- Coincidentally all three are Baby Pokémon.
Origin
Munchlax is most likely based on a baby 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/near Honey Trees adds up to what they are based on, as most bears (especially black bears) love honey.
Name origin
Munchlax is a combination of munch (to chew on food) and lax or relax.
Gonbe may be a combination of Kabigon (Snorlax's Japanese name) and baby. It may also derive from 権兵衛 gonbē, popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days.
