Strategy Overview

Munchlax is a force to be reckoned with in Little Cup. It has a high Attack stat, a great Special Defense stat, an impeccable HP stat, and to top it all off it's incredibly cute. Sprinkle on an incredible movepool and you have a Pokemon that's ready to take on many of Little Cup's hardest hitting special attackers, such as Snover and Misdreavus. However, this obese cutie is not without its faults. Normal typing is a mixed bag in Little Cup. On one hand, Munchlax is immune to Shadow Ball, an extremely common attack in LC; on the other, LC is filled with tons of Fighting-types, most of which can take out Munchlax with ease. Don't let these faults deter you from using Munchlax, as it can prove to be an incredible asset to your team with the right support.
