Cardfight!! Vanguard (FAQs):
Muungal (BT10)
- Ruling

BT10/053
Moongal (むーんがる)
United Sanctuary/High Beast/Gold Paladin
Normal/3/Twin Drive!!/10000/-/1
Auto [R]: When a grade 3 《Gold Paladin》 is placed on your [V], this unit gets [Power] +10000 until the end of turn.

Question:
Previously, with regards to White Hare in the Moon's Shadow, Pellinore, you ruled that if Pellinore used its second skill to move to the Vanguard Circle on top of Solitary Liberator, Gancelot, Gancelot's Break Ride skill wouldn't activate as Pellinore's skill is not a Ride, but a movement between circles.

I was wondering how, therefore, Pellinore's skill would interact with this new Gold Paladin from Booster Set 10. The current translation of Moongal's skill that I've seen reads as this:'[AUTO](RC):When your grade 3 «Gold Paladin» is placed on (VC), this unit gets [Power]+10000 until end of turn.' As such, if I were to Superior Call Pellinore from the deck and activate his skill to move him to the Vanguard Circle while Moongal was in the rear-guard, would Moongal's skill activate and give it +10000 Power?

Answer:
No, Muungal's ability will not activate.

Kindly refer to the comprehensive rules:
http://cf-vanguard.com/en/wp/wp-content/uploads/Cardfight-Vanguard-Comprehensive-Rules.pdf
under the 10.1.4. which defines "place".

Since the definition states a non-cirle zone to a circle zone, the ability of Muungal will not activate.

Hence, conclusion,
Muungal's skill will NOT be activated by using White Hare in the Moon's Shadow, Pellinore's second skill, which moved him from the [R] to the [V].
