CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Munchlax primarily seeks to eat a lot, disregarding taste and even freshness. Its resistant stomach lets it swallow already spoiled material. In Hisui, it visits villages to recover leftovers intended for compost. It also hides food beneath its thick fur. Offering a small share of this reserve is meaningful: it may do so for those it trusts.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Legends: Arceus sometimes places Munchlax among food waste intended for village compost. Shield adds that it stores food beneath its fur and that sharing even a modest amount can show trust in someone.
