Snorlax (Japanese: カビゴン Kabigon) is a Normal-type Pokémon. In the Generation I and II games, as well as Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout Kanto. In order to catch one, a trainer must first awaken it with music from either a Poké Flute or PokéGear.
Snorlax comes with one of two Abilities: Immunity, which protects the Pokémon from being poisoned; or Thick Fat, which cuts damage from Fire- and Ice-type moves in half.

Snorlax first appeared in Wake up Snorlax. This Snorlax wake blocking the water flow to a small village.
In Snack Attack!, a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the Grapefuit Islands. Ash managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the Orange Islands, Ash's Snorlax spent most of its time at Professor Oak's lab.
In Lights, Camerupt, Action, a Snorlax was a sheriff in a western-themed Pokémon movie.
In The Garden of Eatin', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named Marcell by eating the bananas in his Slakoth Banana Garden. Marcell's newly evolved Vigoroth defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcell made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.
In the movies, Ash's Snorlax is seen in The Power of One. A Snorlax also appeared near the end of Destiny Deoxys, evolving from Munchlax in order to stay afloat during a 'flood' of malfunctioning robots.
