Munchlax will come with a special item.
A bonus Munchlax will be available to those who purchase Pokemon Sun and Moon, Nintendo and The Pokemon Company revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct.
Those who purchase the game before January 11, 2017 and connect to the internet will be able to collect a Munchlax carrying the special Snorlium Z item. When evolved into Snorlax, a special Z-Move that cannot be used by any other Pokemon, Pulverizing Pancake, will be available for that Snorlax thanks to the item.
Munchlax will also know the move Hold Back when downloaded and be able to learn the move Happy Hour, two moves it could not otherwise know.
A new Alolan version of an original Pokemon was also revealed during the Direct. Alolan Rattata is a Dark/Normal type, as opposed to the traditional Normal-type Rattata.
The Munchlax with Snorlium Z will be available to those who pre-order Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon.
New Alola region Pokemon were revealed in August, and IGN had a chance to check out rare Pokemon merchandise from the 2016 Pokemon World Championships. For more, check out the reveal of Z-Moves and more Alola forms of original Pokemon from earlier this year.
Pokemon Sun and Moon hit the Nintendo 3DS on November 18. Stay tuned to IGN for more ahead of release.
