Munchlax is a wall for special attackers like Electabuzz and Hattrem, notably countering Lampent due to Thick Fat and its Ghost immunity. The problem with Munchlax is it's very passive and competes with other special walls, like Marshtomp and Vullaby, that have more relevant typings and utility. Munchlax's unique perks are spreading Body Slam paralysis and phazing with Whirlwind, as most teams lack room for these traits. Full EV investment for its defenses strengthens Munchlax's bulk, since its HP is already quite high.
Duosion is another special wall that pairs well with Munchlax for its Fighting resistance, passive recovery, and Future Sight support to pair with Whirlwind. Entry hazard setters like Piloswine, Roselia, and Ferroseed also enjoy Whirlwind and use Munchlax as a pivot against specially offensive Fire-types. For Raboot, which has High Jump Kick for Munchlax, it is best to have Water-types like Wartortle and Mareaine. Fighting-type switch-ins like Galarian Corsola, Clefairy, and Koffing are also warranted to check Gurdurr. Knock Off absorbers such as Clefairy and Tangela help preserve Munchlax's Eviolite, and they can run Trick or Thief, respectively, to regain their items. Munchlax staying in on walls like Roselia and Vullaby to spread Body Slam paralysis can be worth it when it's paired with wallbreakers like Flame Body Gurdurr and Hex Gastly. Most physical wallbreakers such as Piloswine, Thwackey, and Lairon running Choice Band can threaten it. Thus, pairing Munchlax with physical walls such as Galarian Corsola, Tangela, and Clefairy can be helpful too.
