Like {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} is only weak against attacks of a single type; in this case, the {{type|Fighting}}. Despite being a {{type|Normal}} and a Sleeping Pokémon, it also knows attacks that you may not expect — {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Crunch}} and {{m|Blizzard}}. Luckily, Snorlax has quite low {{stat|Special Attack}}, so Shadow Ball should not deal too much damage, but Crunch is quite powerful. This means that you can't expect to use a {{type|Ghost}}'s immunity to help you take it down. If you get unlucky, Shadow Ball and Crunch will reduce your Sp. Def and Defense. Its {{m|Giga Impact}} move is an variation of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but also forces it to rest for a turn and only has 5 PP. In addition, it is the third of {{ga|Red}}'s Pokémon that can call in the {{m|Blizzard|bone-chilling snowstorm}}, making it even more essential to defeat it as soon as possible (although Snorlax's doesn't hurt a lot). Moves like {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Superpower}} will be the most damaging. Because of its lower {{stat|Defense}}, it is a good idea to stick to Physical attacks. It has forgotten all moves that are related to sleeping, such as {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Snore}} and {{m|Sleep Talk}}, so don't worry about putting it asleep.

If you manage to defeat him, {{ga|Red}} pauses for a second, and disappears in the blink of an eye. Don't worry, he's not gone forever — defeat the {{ka|Elite Four}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} again, and Red will reappear on the mountaintop, staring off into the swirling snow.
