Special abilities
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.
Habitat
Diet
Main article: Pokémon food
It is generally seen in urban city streets where it scrounges for food, even in trash cans. It is similar to Snorlax in this respect; it is almost always hungry.
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.
In the manga
Diamond owns a Munchlax
In the TCG
Munchlax has just recently appeared on an English TCG card in the Diamond and Pearl set as a rare card, knowing only the move heave and possessing the baby evolution poke-power. It has also appeared several times on Japanese promotional cards, including one appearance each in two promotional Japanese half-decks that have been released alongside the seventh and eighth Pokémon movies.

Trivia
Munchlax's English name was revealed on 10th September 2004.
Origin
Munchlax is based on 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".
