Munna in Pokemon Go: Details, Catch Rate, and Flee Rate
A Psychic-type Pokemon, Munna debuted in Pokemon Go on Valentine’s Day in 2021. The Pokedex describes it as a creature that “eats the dreams of people and Pokémon. When it eats a pleasant dream, it expels pink-colored mist.”
Munna has a base catch rate of 35% and a base flee rate of 20% in Pokemon Go. The Generation 5 Pokemon requires 50 Candy and an Unova Stone to evolve into Musharna. Due to its low spawn rate inspite of events, it is recommended to use Pinap Berries to double the catch candy before a capture.
