May's Munchlax: Difference between revisions

Munchlax made its [[Pokémon Contest]] debut in ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]'', where it was used in the [[Contest Battle]]s of the {{to|Wisteria}} Contest. Using its Solar Beam attack, it was able to [[Fainting|knock out]] a {{p|Politoed}}, advancing May to the final round. There, it went up against [[Harley]]'s {{p|Octillery}}. It started the battle with a Focus Punch, however, Octillery was able to avoid the attack by jumping in the air and landing on top of Munchlax's face. The {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} then proceeded with {{m|Constrict}} to prevent Munchlax from using any other attacks before firing its [[signature move]], {{m|Octazooka}}. When Munchlax was charging Solar Beam, Octillery used Sludge Bomb, hitting the Big Eater Pokémon and causing an explosion. After that, May called for Metronome, which resulted in Octillery being damaged by a powerful {{m|Thunder}} attack. However, it was able to use {{m|Rest}} to put itself to {{status|sleep}} and recover its health. Although Munchlax attacked Octillery with Tackle and Focus Punch while it was sleeping, it woke up fully restored and fired Octazooka. As Munchlax was no longer able to continue, the [[Contest Judge]]s called {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}}, resulting in a loss for May.

For the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Munchlax was used for one of the Appeals Rounds and two of the battle rounds. Its appeal performance during ''[[AG181|Thinning the Hoard!]]'', had it using Solar Beam and shaping it into a sphere and launching it into the air, and then hitting it with Focus Punch, which makes the sunlight slowly dissipates into the atmosphere creating a glimmering effect, as well as a bell-like chime. This performance was received well enough to advance May to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. Munchlax was then used for May's battle against Harley in the same episode. It battled against [[Harley's Cacturne]] and {{p|Wigglytuff}}, alongside Eevee; it showed great battling skills and impressive synchronicity with Eevee, being able to combine its attacks with Eevee's to take down Harley's Pokemon and advance May to the quarterfinals.

Munchlax continued traveling with May when she left to compete in Pokémon Contests in [[Johto]], and stayed with her when she returned to participate the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. May called it out to look for the stolen food along with [[Kylie]]'s Munchlax, due to its powerful ability to sense food. Nonetheless, Munchlax was delighted to see {{AP|Pikachu}} once again. Within a few minutes later then, it successfully located the stolen refrigerator and led the gang to it, unlike the other Munchlax. Kylie was highly impressed with how well-trained May's Munchlax is.
