Munchlax, introduced in Generation IV or the original Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, is the baby form of Snorlax. You can find Munchlax either by slathering Honey on Honey Trees scattered all over Sinnoh and waiting for six hours or going to Whiteout Cave, Riverbank Cave, Sunlit Caverns, Grassland Cave, Rocky Cave, and Still-Water Caverns of the Pokemon Hideaway areas. Once you caught one, you obviously want to turn it into a Snorlax. Here’s how you can evolve your Munchlax in Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl: Munchlax Evolution
In Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, Munchlax can only evolve into Snorlax once it had a high enough Friendship, then you level it up. Thanks to its strong HP and Defense stats, Snorlax is often used as a sweeper that can completely turn the tides in battle, often utilizing Curse to boost stats and a combo of Rest/Sleep Talk when playing defensively. Read on below for more details about Snorlax.
