Munchlax in the meta
PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
⚔️ Raids
Munchlax is an unevolved Pokémon, making it undesirable for raids. But even if that were not the case, Munchlax is a Normal-type, and Normal-types are unrecommended for raids since no Pokémon are weak to Normal-type attacks.
PvP Analysis
Recommended moves
🔵 Great League
Despite being an unevolved Pokémon, Munchlax is actually a decent Pokémon and better than its evolution in the Great League. While Munchlax isn’t a top meta pick, it does have quite a lot going for it.
For starters, it has a respectably large HP pool, making it really bulky. As a Normal-type, it only has a singular weakness to Fighting-type attacks.
It also has a choice between Tackle and Lick as its Fast Attacks, both of which generate energy quickly and have very short attack animations. These pair well with Body Slam and Bulldoze as its Charged Attacks, making it spammy and versatile.
Although a recent nerf to Body Slam slightly hurts its PvP prospects, Munchlax remains a solid spice pick in the Great League.
🟡 Ultra League
With a max CP of 2139, Munchlax is not strong enough for the Ultra League.
🟣 Master League
With a max CP of 2139, Munchlax is not strong enough for the Master League.
