Trivia

• In Generations I and III on Route 10, Picnicker Carol mentions that she wishes that there were pink Pokémon with floral patterns, a description which Munna fits.
• Despite its Black Pokédex entry stating that it always floats in the air, it does not have the ability Levitate.
• Though it eats dreams as its main form of sustenance, it does not learn Dream Eater until level 41.

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. It also shares some resemblance to a piggy bank.

Name origin

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

In other languages

Language Name Name Origin French Munna The same as Japanese German Somniam From somnium, Latin for dream Chinese 食夢夢 Shí Mèng Mèng Possibly from 食夢 shímèng (Dream Eater), with the last character (夢 mèng, dream) repeated.
