Munna is a mainly pink quadruped Pokémon of indefinable basis, somewhat resembling tapirs or pigs. Its body is rounded and stubby-limbed, giving it a lump-like appearance, with pink-and-purple floral patterns along the back and underside.

Trivia

Picnicker Carol describes Munna in the first generation.

• In Generations I and III, on Route 10, Picnicker Carol mentions that she wishes that there were pink Pokémon with floral patterns, a description of which Munna fits.
• Despite its Black Pokédex entry stating that it always floats in the air, it does not have the ability Levitate.

Origin

Munna appears to be based on traditional Japanese incense burners called koro. These are used in traditional tea ceremonies, but many styles of koro have been developed to be used with insect repellent incense. These insect repellent koro are popularly shaped like a pig and can have patterns painted on them, such as floral patterns. Munna, like Drowzee, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the Baku, tapir-like creatures that eat dreams. It also resembles a piggy bank.

Name origin

Munna may be a combination of the words "moon" and "luna", both having similar meanings. The "Mu" could also come from 夢 (dream), as in 夢想 musō (dream, vision).
