Munna is a dream-eating Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. It is important within Pokémon: Black and White Versions due to its mist, which allows a connection to the Dream World. Its evolved form is Musharna.

Information

Munna is Pokémon that is a floating pink Pokémon that has natural floral pattern. They eat the dreams of people and Pokémon. People whose dreams are eaten by Munna will forget what their dreams are about. When one eats a particularly pleasant dream, it emits a pink mist. This dream mist has several uses within Black/White, as Fennel uses it for her C-Gear and to access the Pokémon Dream World through the game sync feature.

Team Plasma also tried stealing dream mist from a Munna at the Dreamyard by abusing it, in hopes of using the dream mist to manipulate Pokémon's hearts for their own purposes, but Hilbert/Hilda was able to stop them. Bianca also sought and eventually obtained Munna from the Dreamyard that a Team Plasma grunt mugged from her at Castelia City, although Ghetsis returned it without a fight when confronted by Burgh and Isis with Hilbert/Hilda and Bianca.

Munna evolves into Musharna when exposed to a Moon Stone.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, Munna could be found uncommonly at the Dreamyard.

Other Appearances

Other Media

  • Munna was featured in an episode of the Pokémon anime as one of Fennel's Pokémon, which she used to track a Musharna and then help to save it from Team Rocket.
  • In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Munna is featured as one of Black's main Pokémon. As he is constantly preoccupied by his dreams of becoming the Pokémon League's champion, Black often attaches Munna to his head to help him focus and show him hidden answers to problems.

Trivia

  • Munna's name seems to be a combination of "moon" and "luna", likely due to the association with nighttime and dreams, as well as the Pokémon evolving via Moon Stone.
  • Munna seems to be inspired by the Baku, a tapir-like spirit from Japanese mythology known for eating dreams and nightmares. Drowzee and Hypno were also previously inspired by the Baku.
  • Its existence is foreshadowed (possibly unintentionally) by a trainer named Picnicker Carol who appears on Route 10 in the first generation games (and their third generation remakes), as she wishes that there was a pink Pokémon with a floral pattern. There was also a scientist in Hoenn in the third generation who mentioned research on Pokémon dreams.
