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 two games before its generation; Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness and Pokémon Dash. Muchlax was also obtainable, by hacking, in the first Mystery Dungeon, implying it was also supposed to be in that.
- Though Muchlax appears to be dark blue in color, it belongs to the black color group.
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".
