Trivia

• In Generations I and III on Route 10, a Picnicker mentions that she wishes that there were pink Pokémon with floral patterns, a description which Munna fits.

Origin

Munna appears to be based on traditional Japanese incense burners called koro. These are used in traditional tea ceremonies, but many styles of koro have been developed to be used with insect repellent incense. These insect repellent koro are popularly shaped like a pig and can have patterns painted on them, such as floral patterns. Munna, like Drowzee, also seems to share some inspiration from the myth of the Baku, tapir-like creatures that eat dreams.

Name origin

Munna may be a combination of the words "moon" and "luna", both having similar meanings.
