What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put Snorlax from your hand onto Munchlax (this counts as evolving Munchlax) and remove all damage counters from Munchlax.
Search your deck for a Trainer card, show it to your opponent, and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward.
It hides food under its long body hair. However, it forgets it has hidden the food.

Where it came from
Released in May 2009 as part of the Rising Rivals expansion, this card captures the hungry, laid-back nature of Munchlax, a Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation. The Rising Rivals set was designed to focus on the rivalry between Gym Leaders and the Elite Four, featuring unique 'SP' Pokémon mechanics that emphasized the partnership between trainers and their partners, though this specific Munchlax serves as a standard base-set addition to the collection.
The artwork was illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the primary character designer and art director for the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori’s style for this card utilizes a minimalist, clean aesthetic that stays true to the official game sprites of the era. Upon its release, the card was widely received by players as a functional, low-cost utility card for deck building, valued primarily for its accessibility as a common-rarity pull within booster packs.
