May's Munchlax (Japanese: ハルカのゴンベ Haruka's Gonbe) was the fifth Pokémon caught by May during her travels through Hoenn. Its voice actress in Japanese is 佐藤智恵 Chie Satō, and its English voice actors are Darren Dunstan (4Kids dub) and Billy Beach (TPCi dub).

May caught Munchlax in the episode Berry Berry Interesting. Munchlax was the only Pokémon May could find that liked her custom Pokéblocks, May's Purple Surprise, so she wanted to catch it. May threw a Poké Ball at it but Munchlax ate the Poké Ball. It then activated from inside Munchlax, and it was caught.

Munchlax seemed to take a liking to Max, spending a lot of time with him. Munchlax was also the only one of May's Pokémon that was not used in her first Grand Festival.

Munchlax eating

Munchlax was one of the Pokémon May took with her when she traveled through the Kanto region. In On Cloud Arcanine, after using ExtremeSpeed from Metronome, it quickly ate the Pecha on the tress instead of attacking the Arcanine it was supposed to.

May entered Munchlax in a Contest in Harley Rides Again. It made it to the final round where it was up against Harley's Octillery. It put up a good fight before it eventually lost.

Munchlax continued traveling with May when she left to compete in the contests in Johto, and stayed with her when she returned to participate the Wallace Cup in A Full Course Tag Battle!.
