In this video, we encounter the elusive Munchlax and give it some food! Afterwards, we read all of the Pokémon News articles!

With that, I think I'm done with Blue Rescue Team. I had an absolute blast going through this game again. It brought back so many memories of anticipating this game and its new approach with talking Pokémon. It also helps that I'm actually good at this genre now!


A question for the viewers:

Would you join a Rescue Team? What would its name be?





For those who are interested, here's everything I managed to find regarding Munchlax.

Munchlax is a very, VERY rare Pokémon in this game. You cannot recruit it and you're only able to find it in the square. Munchlax can only be seen in the post-game, and it's believed that you need at least one regular Apple (not a Big or Huge one) in your inventory in order for the event to even happen.

There's apparently a second event where Munchlax is found in the plaza, having lost three Apples. If you can pick at least one of them up before Munchlax does, it asks you for it. If you say yes, it'll be delighted and give you the Munch Belt in exchange for the Apple. If you say no, it cries and runs away.

There's absolutely NO footage of this event on YouTube. I've tried at least 500 more dungeon runs to make Munchlax show up again, but it never happened. I'm starting to believe that you can only "spot Munchlax" one time per file. However, on a Japanese forum, someone claimed to have seen it three times. Whether this was on three different playthroughs or one file, I'm not sure.

Either way, Munchlax is a really weird case. I'm surprised there's only around three videos about Munchlax in this game, including this one.
