How to Evolve Snorlax into Munchlax

Evolution Line
Pokemon BDSP MunchlaxMunchlax Lvl + High Friendship
→		 Pokemon BDSP SnorlaxSnorlax

Evolve Munchlax by Reaching High Friendship

Munchlax will evolve into Snorlax once it levels up while having a high Friendship stat.

Munchlax will naturally grow closer with you as you travel and battle with it. You can also let it participate in Contests, letting it hold the Soothe Bell or obtaining it in a Luxury Ball, among other methods.

You can see how high a Pokemon's Friendship stat is with the Poketch's Friendship Checker app. Having two hearts will mean that a Pokemon is very close to you and has reached max Friendship value.

How to Increase Friendship

Snorlax Location

Available Via Evolution Only

Snorlax has only been confirmed to be available by evolving Munchlax.
