Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{Tracey}} plotted to lure {{an|Jigglypuff}} out to [[Sing|sing]] Snorlax to {{status|sleep}}. The plan succeeded and eventually managed to stop the Snorlax. This gave Ash the perfect opportunity to catch it. | ||

After the tournament was won, Ash then decided to keep his Snorlax at Professor Oak's permanently because he could no longer feed it and only called upon its power in major battles. | ||
Since then, Snorlax has become one of the senior members of Ash's team, along with {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} and has provided much needed comic relief in many situations. Ash called upon it for the [[Sumo Conference]] in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', winning the subsequent fight as a result, and later used it to defeat [[Clair]]'s {{p|Kingdra}} in their rematch.

He also used Snorlax during the [[Johto League]] competition, first against [[Gary Oak]] where it overpowered Gary's {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} with [[Hyper Beam]] and {{p|Nidoqueen}} with [[Ice Punch]], but could not keep up with {{p|Scizor}}'s speed and was knocked out by a [[Metal Claw]] to the face. | ||
Snorlax then fought during Ash's following match against {{jo|Harrison}}, although it was fast asleep when sent out to fight {{p|Hypno}}. It was awoken unpleasantly by [[Dream Eater]] and quickly put Hypno down with Hyper Beam. It bested Harrison's {{p|Steelix}} in the same way, but could not pull off a third Hyper Beam victory when {{p|Houndoom}} reflected it back onto Snorlax with [[Counter]]. | |||
In a special episode, Snorlax made a cameo appearance and was seen being awakened by the herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. | In a special episode, Snorlax made a cameo appearance and was seen being awakened by the herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. | ||

When Ash returned from Hoenn, with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], Snorlax befriended [[May's Munchlax]]. Later Snorlax helped Ash earn the Guts Symbol from {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]'' by defeating her {{p|Hariyama}} with an {{m|Ice Punch}} and literally flattening her {{p|Medicham}} with {{m|Body Slam}}. | When Ash returned from Hoenn, with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], Snorlax befriended [[May's Munchlax]].

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 in the kitchen, eating restaurant food. It was later used in the battle against [[Team Rocket]], but it was sleeping. Ash tried to wake up Snorlax, but it accidentally rolled over, tipping the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket mecha]] over.

It was most recently seen in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' where it defeated a female Trainer's {{p|Grumpig}} with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}, helping Ash progress to the third round. | |||
