Up until the Teal Mask DLC was released, Munchlax was not an available Pokémon in Scarlet & Violet. But if you want to finally catch this rare pocket monster for your collection, you’ll need The Teal Mask DLC and maybe a little help finding its usual haunts. I have tracked down this new Pokémon to help everyone get one of their very own.
Munchlax location in Pokémon Scarlet & Violet (Teal Mask DLC)
Munchlax can be found in two main areas ofKitakami. The best places to find these little guys are right around thenorthernmost part of the mapand along the western edges of the DLC’s map. You can sometimes find them walking on thegrasslands. Take note that Munchlaxes are extremely rare! Fortunately, Pokémon Scarlet & Violet has sandwiches to make up for the lapses in rarity.

But if you’re not shiny hunting and are just looking for a Munchlax to add to your Pokédex, the easiest way to capture one is by defeating theunique one(yes, I found one with a special Tera type)wanderingwest of the Community Center. I’ve included the map location too!
