Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Teal Mask: How to get Munchlax and Snorlax

The first part of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's The Hidden Treasures of Area Zero DLC, titled The Teal Mask, came out on September 13, 2023. This addition to the Generation IX games follows the protagonist on a school trip to Kitakami, a region close to Paldea.

Here, you can encounter critters from previous generations that were not available in Paldea till now. Two such critters are Muchlax and Snorlax. The latter is one of the most popular creatures in the franchise owing to its hilarious, lazy personality.

That said, it can be a tremendous force in battles. There are also rewards in the DLC that can only be unlocked by completing the regional Pokedex. Therefore, you will definitely want to get your hands on these critters. This guide will tell you how.
