Munchlax (ゴンベ, Gonbe) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon franchise.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Munchlax on Smashville.

Munchlax is one of the Pokémon that appears out of a Poké Ball. When summoned it wanders aimlessly around the stage, eating any items it finds excluding Poké Balls, Smash Balls, and collectibles (Trophies, CDs, and Stickers). If there aren't any items around for it to gobble up, Munchlax is effectively useless, much like Goldeen.

Munchlax shake glitch

On Rumble Falls, if a player were to pick up an item and throw it, Munchlax will run to the item; instead of eating it like normal, however, it will repeatedly shake.

Munchlax

A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it spots food, it moves surprisingly fast. It's native to the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it's attached to its Trainer, it will level up and evolve into Snorlax.

Origin

Munchlax's official artwork from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Munchlax is the baby form of Snorlax, and was the very first Generation IV Pokémon ever publicly revealed, making several appearances in Pokémon games even before its playable debut in the main-series games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It is described as the "Big Eater" Pokémon, and all of its Pokédex entries deal with its eating habits.

Its "move" in Brawl, Pickup, is one of its possible abilities in the Pokémon games: a Pokémon with it might find an item after a battle, and, since Generation V, can pick up items discarded by other Pokémon during a battle.

Trivia

• Munchlax and Snorlax are the only Poké Ball Pokémon that appear in the same game that share an evolutionary family.
