PvE Analysis

⚔️ 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

🔵 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

These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Catch probability with multiple throws

In order to help Trainers understand their overall odds when catching Munchlax, we enable the functionality to showing the total chance to catch it depending on the number of available throws. We calculate this chance as if you repeated the same throw N-number of times.

To activate this functionality, change the number of Number of throws to a value greater than 1. The Number of throws option is available in the configuration options above the chart

Catch rate formula

Pokémon GO catch rate formula can be expressed as follows:

CATCH_MULTIPLIERS = ball * curve * berry * throwType * (type1Medal + type2Medal / 2)
CATCH_RATE = 1 - Math.pow(1 - baseCatchRate / (2 * cpm), CATCH_MULTIPLIERS)

There are different multipliers that come into play when calculating catch rate.

Curved throws are more effective than regular throws, stronger types of Poké Ball have a higher catch rate, and using a Razz Berry or a Golden Razz Berry also improves your chances.
