Munchlax is a Basic Colorless Pokémon with 60 HP. The card lists level 8. In the Pokédex this is Munchlax (#446), generation 4 (Sinnoh). The card lists Snorlax, Snorlax (#143) under evolves to.

Ken Sugimori illustrated this card. The same name is on 1,112 other cards in the catalog.

Munchlax (#446) has 4 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 3 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2019. The earliest other card is Munchlax 68/100 in Majestic Dawn (2008). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare. Masakazu Fukuda illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 2 other cards of Munchlax list a different HP.

Baby Evolution is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put Snorlax from your hand onto Munchlax (this counts as evolving Munchlax) and remove all damage counters from Munchlax. The attack Heave lists 30× damage. The cost is Colorless. Discard 2 cards from your hand. (If you can't discard 2 cards, this attack does nothing.) Flip 2 coins. This attack does 30 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Fighting +10. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It wolfs down its weight in food once a day, swallowing food whole with almost no chewing."

I keep a set binder for Diamond & Pearl, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Diamond & Pearl set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Munchlax can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Snorlax and Munchlax and Baby Pokémon. I still need this card.
