As we head closer to the release of Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon, The Pokemon Company announced today that those who will purchase the game by January 11, 2017 will get Munchlax.
With Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon having an Alolan variant to certain Pokemon, the Munchlax that players will receive will be carrying an item called Snorlium Z. When Munchlax evolves into Snorlax, it will have a special Z-Move that cannot be used by any other Pokemon-Pulverizing Pancake- in other words, the Snorlax that you will get will be called Pulverizing Snorlax.
The early purchase bonus Munchlax, which must be received via players’ Internet connection by January 11, 2017, is holding a special item called Snorlium Z. By evolving Munchlax into Snorlax and having it hold the Snorlium Z, Snorlax becomes able to use a special Z-Move that cannot be used by any other Pokémon—Pulverizing Pancake.
The bonus Munchlax will also know the move Hold Back, which it could not normally learn. Hold Back is an attack move that leaves its opponent with just 1 HP. It can reliably weaken an opposing Pokémon, so it comes in handy when trying to catch wild Pokémon.
The Munchlax being gifted will also know the move Happy Hour, another move it normally couldn’t learn. When players use Happy Hour during a Trainer battle, they’ll receive twice as much prize money after the battle for use on their adventure.
In addition to Munchlax, the Alolan variant of Rattata has also been revealed.
Name: Alolan Rattata
Type: Dark/Normal
Unlike ordinary Rattata, urban areas are Alolan Rattata’s main habitat. They are nocturnal and live in nests of several dozen. Alolan Rattata have an excellent aptitude for sniffing out delicious fresh foods in Alola. They pay no attention to foods that aren’t fresh. Alolan Raticate serve as their boss.
