Munchlax (Japanese: ゴンベ Gonbe) is a Normal-type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
It evolves into Snorlax when leveled up with high friendship.
It was the first Generation IV Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.
Along with Starly and Pachirisu, Munchlax is one of the three Partner Pokémon of Almia available at the beginning of Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia.
Biology
Munchlax is a teal Pokémon with a cream spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream feet with three clawed toes. The fur close to the bottom of a Munchlax seems to resemble a robe. Munchlax has two pointy teeth that stick out of its mouth even if closed.
It is a hyperactive Pokémon. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food, but it is usually very slow-moving. Munchlax tends to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. Its stomach allows it to eat nearly anything, even rotten food, and they are indifferent to flavor. It can also eat many servings of food at a time without chewing and rarely gets full. It eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, Snorlax. Munchlax tends to raid villages for food intended to be thrown away.

Another Munchlax appeared in The Announcement and the Prize under the ownership of Professor Kukui. It battled in the Iki Town festival tournament and lost against Sun's Litten.
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!
In Find Munchlax!!, a Collector, a Ruin Maniac, a Psychic, and a Team Galactic Grunt all searched for a Munchlax, which was said to be very rare. Its Pickup Ability took Hareta's Pokédex, but Munchlax returned it later.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
After being released from a Poké Ball, Munchlax walks around and uses Pickup to eat items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy, or a Poké Ball.
Trophy information
"A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it sees food it moves surprisingly fast. It's native in the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."
Trivia
- Munchlax, along with Shuckle and Pyukumuku, has the lowest base Speed stat of all Pokémon.
- Munchlax has the highest base stat total of any baby Pokémon.
- Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
- Munchlax appeared in four games before its generation. Ordered by release date, they are: Pokémon Dash, Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Pokémon Team Turbo, and Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team.
- Although obtainable through hacking in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness as it has an index number, unlike Bonsly it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
- Munchlax's index number is the very last in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness (excluding Unown forms).
- In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Munchlax's trophy information states it first appeared in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl instead of Pokémon Dash. This is a similar case with Bonsly and Togepi.
- Munchlax's evolution family is the only one to have all of its members appear from a Poké Ball within a single Super Smash Bros. game.
Origin
Munchlax appears to be based on a baby bear. Its eating habits correspond to those of bears preparing to hibernate, including the consumption of honey (Munchlax is found in honey-slathered trees). The mask-like pattern of fur around its face resembles a balaclava, comparable to a thief's, especially as Munchlax often steals garbage and compost while looking for food — another behavior associated with bears. The yellow patch of fur over its chest resembles a baby's bib.
Name origin
Munchlax may be a combination of munch (to chew on food) and lax, relax, or Snorlax.
Gonbe may be a combination of カビゴン Kabigon (Snorlax), baby, and possibly a play on 権兵衛 Gonbē (common placeholder name for peasants in the old days).
