Trivia

• In the case of a poisoned Munchlax evolving and gaining Immunity, the player will, upon checking the status screen, find that it is still poisoned. This is extremely rare, however.
• The reason why Zangoose has this ability may be because of its rivalry with Seviper, a Pokémon known for its Poison-type attacks.
