Best Natures for Munchlax

Best Natures
Careful (+Sp.Def, -Sp.Atk)	Adamant (+Atk, -Sp.Atk)

Munchlax evolves into Snorlax, who is a bulky Pokemon with great Attack and Special Defense but low Defense. Careful is the best nature to get if you're planning to train Munchlax into a Specially Defensive Pokemon.

Adamant is a good alternative if you're training Munchlax into a bulky attacker as it has a great physical movepool to back up its great Attack stat.
