Having a strong friendship stat[1]X Expert Source IshrakGaming & Video ExpertExpert Interview (220 or above) and awareness of your Munchlax's tastes are both needed to get your little friend to evolve into Snorlax. So if you're aim is to do just that, you've come to the right place! For a step-by-step guide on evolving your Munchlax, scroll down.[2]XResearch source
Steps
Method 1 Method 1 of 2:
Making Friends to Evolve Munchlax
Download Article
1 Find out your friendship (or happiness) stat. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you train, your Munchlax won't evolve unless you have a friendship stat of 220 or higher.[3]XResearch source [4]X Expert Source IshrakGaming & Video ExpertExpert Interview The version you are playing will dictate the options available for checking your friendship with Munchlax. Common ways of checking friendship are:
Scarlet and Violet find the Friendship Checker in Cascarrafa, north of the large fountain in the middle of the city. Identify the Friendship Checker by their Marill.
Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum have a feature called the "Friendship Checker" as part of your Pokétch.
HeartGold and SoulSilver gauge friendship by the phrase that appears when you interact with your Pokémon outside the Poké Ball.
Nacrene City and Icirrus Pokémon Fan Club both have characters that can rate your friendship in Black and White.
"Icirrus Pokémon Fan Club" and Bianca tell you your happiness in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2
In Pokémon X and Y, in Laverre City and Santalune City you can check your friendship.
In Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, it is the same as the original games.
2 Walk your Munchlax. Take Munchlax along on your adventures[5]X Expert Source IshrakGaming & Video ExpertExpert Interview and gain +1 or +2 to your friendship stat for every 128 or 256 steps. The rate of increase will change according to version and your current friendship level.[6]XResearch source Advertisement
3 Feed it vitamins or EV lowering berries.[7]X Expert Source IshrakGaming & Video ExpertExpert Interview Things that make your Pokémon healthy, happy, and strong give your friendship stat a boost.
4 Don't feed Munchlax bitter things. Throughout the game you will find herbs, roots, and medicine that have different effects on your Pokémon. Bitter flavors, however, hurt your Munchlax's friendship stat and can interfere with its evolution.[8]XResearch source
5 Common bitter items:
Heal Powder
Energy Powder
Energy Root
Revival Herb
6 Get a professional massage. In certain versions, there is an option for you to take your Pokémon to a resort or massage therapist. After a good rub down, your Munchlax will appreciate your friendship even more.
Veilstone, Castelia City, and the Resort Area by route 229 are three locations that offer Pokémon massages.[9]XResearch source
7 Utilize the bolstering effects of the Soothe Bell.[10]XResearch source You can find this item in different places, like the Pokémon Mansion, or in some cases you may receive it from non-player characters. Holding this will foster greater friendship between you and Munchlax.
8 Train to level up. When your Munchlax reaches a new level, he'll feel thankful he has such a good trainer and your friendship will grow.
9 Don't allow Munchlax to faint. Taking your Munchlax into battle is a good way to raise its level, but allowing your Munchlax to faint will reduce your friendship stat and make it more difficult for Munchlax to trust you enough to evolve.
10 Level up after cementing your bond of friendship! Now that your friendship stat is at or over 220, all little Munchlax needs is some experience or a rare candy and he'll transform into a strapping Snorlax.

Trading in Black/White Version for Munchlax
Download Article
1 Trade a Cinccino for a Munchlax in Undella town.[11]XResearch source Be aware that this event is synced with real time, and it will only be available to you in the summer.
2 Catch a Cinccino. You can find it along routes 5, 9, 16, or in the rustling grass of Cold Storage area.
If you have difficulty catching this Pokémon, you can evolve a Minccino into a Cinccino with a Shiny Stone. Some places that Minccino can be found are routes 5, 9, 16, and the Cold Storage area.
3 Raise your friendship stat. The Munchlax you receive from your trade will be level 60 already. Raise your friendship to 220 or above using the advice from the section on making friends with your Munchlax. It will evolve at the next level.
4 Use a Rare Candy to gain a level. This is a quick way of forcing the evolution now that you and your Munchlax are good friends. After you use the rare candy, the evolution sequence for Munchlax should begin.
