It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food. 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}}. | It is a hyperactive Pokémon.

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.
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, Snorlax.

Trivia
- Munchlax, along with Shuckle and Pyukumuku, has the lowest base Speed stat of all Pokémon.
- Munchlax has the highest base stat total of all baby Pokémon.
- Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
- Munchlax appeared in three games before its generation: Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, 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. (105.0 kg).
- 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.
- Munchlax has the highest HP of all unevolved Pokémon.
Origin
Munchlax is most likely 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). Its mask-like face and movepool evoke a larcenous character — perhaps a burglar.
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.
