Munchlax (Japanese: ゴンベ Gonbe) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.
It evolves into Snorlax by Happiness.
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.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Munchlax's abilities are about the same as its evolved form, Snorlax, only weaker. However, some moves that are unique to Munchlax are Screech, Odor Sleuth, Stockpile, Swallow, and Last Resort.
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 of 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.
In the anime
A Munchlax first appeared in Destiny Deoxys, where it evolved into a Snorlax to help Ash, making it the first Generation IV Pokémon to appear in the anime.
May currently owns a Munchlax, which she captured in Berry, Berry Interesting.
A Munchlax appeared in Journey to the Unown!.
A trainer named Kylie owns a Munchlax, which was seen in A Full Course Tag Battle!
In the manga

Trivia
- Munchlax, along with Shuckle, in terms of base stats, is the slowest Pokémon. Ironically, Munchlax appears to be somewhat fast in the anime, although in these instances, it was motivated by food.
- Munchlax was the first Generation IV Pokémon to be revealed.
- Munchlax's English name was first revealed on September 10, 2004.
- Munchlax appeared in two games before its generation; Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Dash. Munchlax was also obtainable, by hacking, in the first Mystery Dungeon, implying it was also supposed to be in that.
- Though Munchlax appears to be dark blue in color, it belongs to the black color group.
- Munchlax, along with Qwilfish, are the only Pokémon who learn Stockpile by leveling up, but don't learn both Spit Up and Swallow. Munchlax doesn't learn Spit Up, while Qwilfish doesn't learn Swallow.
Origin
Munchlax is most likely based off of a mini Totoro or possibly a baby bear.
Name origin
Munchlax's name is a combination of munch, to chew on food, and lax. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of Snorlax's Japanese name, Kabigon, and baby. It may also be from 権兵衛 gonbee, popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days. Its Korean name, Meokgoja, literally translates as "eat and sleep".
