Munchlax (Japanese: ゴンベ Gonbe) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon. It was the first Generation IV Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004. It is the pre-evolution of Snorlax.

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, Last Resort and Zen Headbutt.

Behavior

Munchlax behaves quite opposite of its evolution, Snorlax, as it is somewhat hyperactive, though it is very similar with its eating patterns. 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.

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.

May currently owns a Munchlax, which she captured in Berry, Berry Interesting.

A Munchlax appeared in Journey To The Unown!

In the manga

Diamond owns a Munchlax.

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 is obtainable by hacking in the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.
  • Munchlax was the first Generation IV Pokémon to be revealed.
  • Munchlax's English name was first revealed on September 10, 2004.
  • Munchlax appeared in 2 games before its Generation; Pokémon XD and Pokémon Dash. Muchlax was also obtainable, by hacking, in the first Mystery Dungeon implying it was also supposed to be in that.

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 relax. 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".
