Pokédex entries
Diamond | It wolfs down its weight in food once a day, swallowing food whole with almost no chewing. |
---|---|
Pearl | It hides food under its long body hair. However, it forgets it has hidden the food. |
Platinum | In its desperation to gulp down food, it forgets about the food it has hidden under its fur. |
HeartGold SoulSilver | It conceals food under the long fur on its body. It carts around this food stash and swallows it without chewing. |
Black White Black 2 White 2 | In its desperation to gulp down food, it forgets about the food it has hidden under its fur. |
X Omega Ruby | It hides food under its long body hair. However, it forgets it has hidden the food. |
Y Alpha Sapphire | It conceals food under the long fur on its body. It carts around this food stash and swallows it without chewing. |
Sun | It needs to consume its own weight in food every day. As far as flavor is concerned, it’s indifferent. |
Moon | When it finds something that looks like it might be edible, it goes right ahead and swallows it whole. That’s why it gets fatter day by day. |
Ultra Sun | It hides food under its long fur, but it sometimes forgets about it and causes a stinky disturbance. |
Ultra Moon | Anything that looks edible, Munchlax will go on and swallow whole. Its stomach is tough enough to handle it even if the food has gone rotten. |
Sword | Stuffing itself with vast amounts of food is its only concern. Whether the food is rotten or fresh, yummy or tasteless—it does not care. |
Shield | It stores food beneath its fur. It might share just one bite, but only if it really trusts you. |
