Terastal Phenomenon
In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet (Generation 9), each Pokémon in Paldea has a Tera Type. A Pokémon's Tera Type is inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes, at which time the Pokémon's type will change to its Tera Type.
There are 18 types, meaning there are countless combinations of Pokémon and Tera Types. Terastallizing a Pokémon allows you to enhance your battle strategies by increasing the power of any moves that have the same type as your Pokémon’s Tera Type or by changing your Pokémon’s weaknesses.
Fighting moves are bad against Ghost.
The most recommended Terastral Type for Munchlax is: Ghost

- Earthquake / Stomping Tantrum
- Seed Bomb
Munchlax is an astounding Physical Sweeper for single battles. It is primarily designed to take down the opponent's team with brute physical power. Munchlax is not a Pokemon anyone usually expects sees on the battlefield until equipping Eviolite became the goto option. 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.
◆ Body Slam is a physical STAB-boosted 85-base power Normal-type move (30% chance to paralyze the target).
◆ Tera Blast is a special STAB-boosted 80-base power Normal-type move (if terastallized: becomes a physical Steel-type move).
◆ 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 decent amount of damage.
