Physical Sweeper Munchlax (Pickup)
Munchlax proves to be an astounding Physical Sweeper for single battles. This moveset attempts to take down the opponent's team with devastating physical power. Munchlax is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield without an Eviolite. If Eviolite is held by a Pokémon that is not fully evolved, it will raises the Defense and Special Defense of that Pokemon by 50%. The Shell Bell item option is to help Munchlax recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Pickup, if Munchlax has no item it finds one used by an adjacent pokemon this turn.
◆ Double-Edge is a physical STAB-boosted 120-base power Normal-type move (has 33% recoil). ◆ Body Slam is a physical STAB-boosted 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target). ◆ Superpower is a physical 120-base power Fighting-type move (lowers your Munchlax's attack and defense by 1 stage). ◆ Earthquake is a physical 100-base power Ground-type move (hits adjacent pokemon). ◆ Stomping Tantrum is a physical 75-base power Ground-type move (power doubles if your Munchlax's last move failed). ◆ Seed Bomb is a physical 80-base power Grass-type move that deals a substantial amount of damage.
