=Name origin=
In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} games, their [[remake]]s, and [[Pokémon X and Y]], wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations. In order to catch one, a Trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or the [[Pokégear]] set to the Poké Flute channel.
Snorlax's name is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax''. The German name is merely ''relax'' with an "o" at the end.


It may be loosely based on [[wp:hibernation|hibernating]] [[wp:bear|bear]]s.
Snorlax is the [[game mascot]] of {{g|Sleep}}.


=Base stats=
==Biology==
{{BaseStats with RBY|
Snorlax is a huge, bipedal, dark blue-green {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a cream-colored face, belly, and feet. Its body is composed of mostly its belly, as its limbs are comparatively small. Its head is large with small, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw. It has round feet, which both have three claws and a circular brown paw pad, and short arms with five claws on each hand. Snorlax's bulk makes it the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] {{t|Normal}} type.
HP=160 |
Attack=110 |
Defense=65 |
SpAtk=65 |
SpDef=110 |
Special=65 |
Speed=30 }}


=Type effectiveness=
Snorlax is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and forests}}. It wakes up only to eat, requiring 900 lbs. (400 kg) of food per day before returning to its slumber, although it can also eat while it is resting. It is not a picky eater, as its strong stomach allows it to eat even moldy food without feeling any ill effects. It can even handle thorny plants or {{p|Muk}}'s poison. Snorlax is docile enough to let children and small Pokémon bounce on its large stomach. Despite its apparent laziness, however, Snorlax can exhibit tremendous power when prompted. Snorlax is known to appear without warning in villages and steal their food supplies, such as rice granaries, which has long been considered a disaster whenever it happens. [[Professor Neroli]] does research on Snorlax, particularly on their ability to place Pokémon around them to sleep. A lot of Pokémon tend to gather around Snorlax to sleep near it or on it.

==Later versions==
As Gigantamax Snorlax, seeds and small pebbles that were tangled in its belly fur go through immense growth, causing patches of grass, bushes, rocks, and a large tree to sprout upon its belly. The tree has three red clouds circling it. The {{Berries}} that grow on Gigantamax Snorlax's tree include a [[Sitrus Berry]], a [[Magost Berry]], and a [[Haban Berry]].


{{Type effectiveness|
Gigantamax Snorlax almost never moves; even when in battle it only slightly lifts its body and attacks by flailing with its arms and legs. However, its attacks are very powerful — Gigantamax Snorlax is considered to be one of the strongest [[Dynamax]] Pokémon to have been discovered.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-snorlax/ Gigantamax Snorlax | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

==Other appearances==
[[File:Snorlax SSBB.png|thumb|200px|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.
 
Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.
 
====Melee trophy information====
''Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.
 
====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging {{m|Snore}} attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon."''

Snorlax reappears as a Poké Ball summon in these games, behaving the same way as before.
 
Snorlax also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.
 
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This sleepy, Normal-type Pokémon is huge! It eats more than 900 lb. of food every day. Most of the time not spent eating is spent sleeping. That big, round body comes in handy when it's brought onto a Smash Bros. battlefield—the Body Slam attack will send anyone who gets hit flying into the air!''
 
'''PAL''': ''Snorlax is often referred to as the Sleeping Pokémon, and there's a good reason for that! This giant loafer spends almost all its time snoozing, getting up for just long enough each day to scoff up a tidy 400kg of food. In this game, it soars into the air and uses its Body Slam attack, smacking into fighters like a giant wrecking ball.''
{{-}}
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Snorlax reappears as a Poké Ball summon, retaining its behavior from past games. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

This is due to {{ga|Red}}, who is also at Mt. Silver, owning a Snorlax as well. While the player is on Mt. Silver, unique messages will also appear if the player interacts with a walking {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Charizard}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Snorlax is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg2|Monster}} can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] on, Snorlax can inherit the move from {{p|Bulbasaur}} by chain breeding.
* Snorlax's evolution family is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Snorlax is the only Pokémon to receive a +40 catch rate modifier when a [[Heavy Ball]] is used.
** In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches (Generation II)#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve the weights of {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}}, so they also get a +40 catch rate modifier.
* Snorlax is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}} Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
* Snorlax is tied with {{p|Gengar}} for the most [[Pokédex]] entries in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', with a total of 7.
* Snorlax is the subject of a campaign known as [[Project Snorlax]], which was launched by [[The Pokémon Company]] on March 17, 2023.
 
===Concept and development===
Snorlax was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/1/ Page 1 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref>
 
===Origin===
Snorlax's appearance and behavior of constantly eating and sleeping were directly inspired by [[Game Freak]] planner [[Kōji Nishino]].<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/2/ Page 2 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref name=GameInformer /> Additionally, Snorlax may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s. It may also be based on a {{wp|Postprandial somnolence|food coma}}, as it eats large quantities of food, then takes a nap, both of which are symptomatic of the condition. Snorlax's Gigantamax form resembles a small hill.
 
====Name origin====
Snorlax may be a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax'' or ''relax''.
 
Kabigon is derived from ''{{wk|Kirby}}'' (Japanese: カービィ ''Kābī''), the eponymous main character of [[Nintendo]]'s {{wk|Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' video game series}}. In an interview with Game Informer, [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that Kōji Nishino, the main inspiration for Snorlax, used to be called "Kirby" during the development of {{game|Red and Green|s}} because of his large appetite.<ref name=GameInformer>Shea, Brian (October 24, 2019). "[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/more-burning-questions-for-the-pokemon-series More Burning Questions For The Pokémon Series]." ''Game Informer''. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20220523044442/https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/more-burning-questions-for-the-pokemon-series archived])</ref> Kabigon may also involve 黴 ''kabi'' (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food.
