Munchlax is a special wall with Thick Fat and a Ghost immunity, making it a counter to Lampent as well as a good sponge for other special attackers like Electabuzz and Hattrem. The problem with Munchlax is that it is very passive and competes with other special walls like Marshtomp and Vullaby that have more relevant typings and utility. Munchlax's unique perks stem from spreading Body Slam paralysis and phazing with Whirlwind, and most teams have a hard time justifying these traits over its competition. An investment of 252 Defense and 252 Special Defense EVs is the best way to make use of Munchlax's bulk due to its high HP stat.
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 help buff 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 Golbat, Koffing, and Ivysaur are also warranted to check Gurdurr. Knock Off absorbers such as Golbat and Tangela are appreciated to preserve Munchlax's Eviolite, and they can run Thief to regain their items. Staying in on walls like Golbat and Tangela to use Body Slam can be worth it to trigger paralysis when paired with wallbreakers like Flame Body Gurdurr and Hex Gastly.
