During his travels in the Orange Islands in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', Ash arrived at the [[seven Grapefruit Islands]]. Here, they discovered a grapefruit orchard that was under attack by a {{p|Snorlax}} that was eating everything in sight. Once it became apparent that it was a strong swimmer, concerns arose that it would consume the islands' vegetation within days. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{Tracey}} and the [[Team Rocket trio]] attempted to take it down. However, Snorlax proved to be a highly defensive and very powerful battler, using Body Slam to flatten {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} easily. {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s attack resulted in Snorlax seizing the tongue and using it as a napkin, [[Misty's Goldeen]] was almost eaten, and attacks from [[Misty's Staryu]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] were barely felt. [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s attempts to put Snorlax to sleep (through deceit and hypnosis respectively), resulted in Snorlax sending them blasting off with a Mega Kick, but gave Ash and his friends the idea to lure {{an|Jigglypuff}} out to {{m|sing}} Snorlax to {{status|sleep}}. The plan succeeded and eventually managed to stop the Snorlax. This gave Ash and Pikachu the perfect opportunity to weaken it with {{m|Thunder}} and capture it | During his travels in the Orange Islands in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', Ash arrived at the [[seven Grapefruit Islands]].

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Snorlax and the rest of Ash's Pokémon were sent out for lunch, and it promptly went to sleep. It woke up in time to attempt to devour the entire harvest of fruits Ash had gathered, but [[Tracey's Scyther]] warded it away. Once put to sleep by Jigglypuff, the group decided to let it sleep, and it once again awoke, devoured the entire plate of sandwiches that Tracey had prepared, and went back to sleep. Tracey noted that Snorlax was exercising far less and therefore ate far less, and Misty told Ash off for not really training it. It proved far too heavy for Team Rocket to steal, and this delayed them long enough for Ash to return and save the group. | In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Snorlax and the rest of Ash's Pokémon were sent out for lunch, and it promptly went to sleep.

Snorlax then fought during Ash's following match against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', although it was fast asleep when sent out to fight {{p|Hypno}}. It was awoken, obviously irritated and angry by {{m|Dream Eater}} and proceeded to scare Hypno, then quickly put Hypno down with Hyper Beam. Unaffected by {{p|Steelix}}'s {{m|Wrap}} attack, it defeated Steelix in the same way. However, it could not pull off a third Hyper Beam victory against {{TP|Harrison|Houndoom}}, who reflected it back onto Snorlax with {{m|Counter}} at double strength, knocking it out in one blow. | Snorlax then fought during Ash's following match against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', although it was fast asleep when sent out to fight {{p|Hypno}}.

In | In ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Snorlax was seen being woken by the herd of [[Ash's Tauros]]. | ||
In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', Ash saw that Oak was feeding it [[Pokéblock]]s, and tried to call on Snorlax to battle a wild Snorlax.

When Ash returned from Hoenn in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], Snorlax befriended [[May's Munchlax]], and brought its power to bear against [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]], taking it down easily. | When Ash returned from Hoenn in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], Snorlax befriended [[May's Munchlax]], and brought its power to bear against [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]], taking it down easily. | ||
Later, Snorlax helped Ash earn the Guts Symbol from {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. [[Scott]] notes that Ash picked unusual types to battle the {{type|Fighting}} specialist Greta. However, Snorlax used Protect to absorb the blows from her {{p|Hariyama}}, and then took it down with an Ice Punch. Against her {{p|Medicham}}, Protect failed and it was hit hard by {{m|Focus Punch}}, which sent it flying into Team Rocket. Once the battle was resumed, Snorlax was frozen by Ice Punch from Medicham, but used Rest to recover | Later, Snorlax helped Ash earn the Guts Symbol from {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''.

Once the battle was resumed, Snorlax was frozen by Ice Punch from Medicham, but used Rest to recover while Medicham smashed through the ice. It was then pummeled by a series of Focus Punches, until its fully charged Hyper Beam propelled it into the ceiling and it crushed Medicham with a powerful Body Slam, giving Ash the victory. | ||

It appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', alongside Ash's other Pokémon. It was not in its [[Poké Ball]], like many of Ash's other Pokémon, but was found eating food from a kitchen in a restaurant. It was later used in the battle against the [[Team Rocket trio]], but it was sleeping. Ash tried to wake up Snorlax, but it merely rolled over, tipping the Team Rocket mecha over in the process. | It appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', alongside Ash's other Pokémon.
