[SET COMMENTS]
In a metagame that is speed oriented, Munchlax stands out because of it’s high special defense stat and access to curse. This sets it apart from other set up sweepers, as this sweep is based on outlasting your opponent. Facade provides good STAB damage, which can be boosted even more if Munchlax picks up status conditions whilst setting up. Fire Punch makes it a good Ferroseed counter and Pawniard check while also giving extra coverage, and Recycle gives Munchlax longevity that it otherwise would not have, and allows it to stay healthy throughout the match.
