Overview

Unlike Snorlax, Munchlax are very active Pokémon. They spend almost all of their time walking or running (or more accurately, waddling) around in search of food. They eat their own body weight in food every day, and they rarely chew food before swallowing. They hide leftovers in their fur to save for later, but often forget about them, leaving the morsels to rot on their bodies. Consequently, wild Munchlax frequently smell of decomposing refuse. They will still gladly consume these spoiled items, however, as they can eat just about anything without experiencing any ill effects thanks to their robust stomachs. Despite how much they eat, Munchlax rarely are ever full; they constantly are looking for more to eat. Occasionally, they can be found wandering around houses; they will squeeze their way through small openings or windows to eat food left out for pets. Some people have even reported Munchlax raiding pantries, cabinets, and refrigerators in search of food, eating everything they can find in the process. Munchlax hate confrontation and will flee at the first sign of danger, though, so they are thankfully easy to scare off.
