In ''[[PS037|Golly, Golem!]]'', Snor was used as Red's first Pokémon in his battle against {{adv|Giovanni}} at the [[Viridian Gym]]. Snor made the first attack, but Giovanni used his speed against him by having {{p|Nidoqueen}} {{m|Counter}} Snor's attack, before flinging the heavy Pokémon through the wall and out of the Gym. As Giovanni switched to {{p|Golem}}, Red decided to have the ricocheting Pokémon bounce its way out of the Gym so Snor could attack, but Giovanni made use of Snor's Headbutt shattering Golem by pummeling Snor with {{m|Rock Throw}} and then fainting him with {{m|Explosion}}, revealing that he had planned this from the moment Red sent Snor out.

In ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', Red used Snor against [[Blue's Charizard]] in the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Pokémon League]] finals, though {{adv|Blue}} immediately switched out for {{TP|Blue|Machamp}}. Through its four arms, Machamp easily blocked all of Snor's limbs and prevented him from attacking. The Superpower Pokémon then effortlessly lifted the Sleeping Pokémon with its four arms, spinning him about with {{m|Submission}} before {{m|slam}}ming him onto the floor, which cracked under Snor's weight. After Snor hit the ground, Red secretly had him use Harden in anticipation of Machamp's {{m|Karate Chop}}. However, Blue saw through Red's trick, and had his Machamp attack the ground instead, using a piece of shattered debris as a lever to catapult Snor into the air and out of the battlefield. Just as Snor was about to be disqualified for going out of bounds, he plummeted down from mid-air and crushed Machamp with a combination of Double-Edge and Toxic. Realizing Snor had taken heavy damage, Red then [[recall]]ed him.

In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', Snor was used in Red's [[Pokémon Association]] test for the new [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Red started off having Snor use Belly Drum, which caused Pokémon Association's {{p|Forretress}}'s {{m|Spikes}} to rebound and hit Forretress. Snor followed up with a Mega Punch, knocking the Bagworm Pokémon out. The next opponent was an {{p|Azumarill}}, who promptly used {{m|Whirlpool}} to trap Snor. The Sleeping Pokémon used Rest inside the vortex, and quickly attacked with Mega Kick as soon as the whirlpool dissipated, knocking Azumarill out. He was the switched out for [[Vee]].

In ''[[PS273|Red and Blue Make Purple Opponents]]'', Snor was used alongside [[Gyara]] in a [[Double Battle]] against Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Golduck}} and {{TP|Blue|Porygon2}} at [[Ultima]]'s "Path of Battle". Blue started the battle by having Golduck use {{m|Iron Tail}} and Porygon2 use {{m|Tri Attack}} on Red's Pokémon. Red then counterattacked with Gyara's {{m|Body Slam}} on Porygon2 and Snor's Strength on Golduck. As Blue was getting further ahead, Red had Gyara attack Golduck with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and the Duck Pokémon escaped underground by using {{m|Dig}}. Red countered by having Snor use Earthquake, which dealt double damage on Golduck due to it being underground, fainting it. The attack also damaged Porygon2, but Gyara avoided any damage due to being part {{type|Flying}}. Blue then switched to {{TP|Blue|Scizor}} and Machamp, with Scizor dropping Machamp at Snor, allowing it to perform a {{m|Seismic Toss}} on the Sleeping Pokémon. Before Snor could react, Machamp attacked him with {{m|Low Kick}}, which dealt massive damage on the heavy Pokémon and took it out of the fight.

In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', Snor was seen interacting with {{adv|Emerald}}'s Snorlax in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} following [[Guile Hideout]]'s defeat. In ''[[PS460|All About Arceus IX]]'', it was revealed that the two Snorlax had produced an {{pkmn|Egg}}, which {{adv|Gold}} had agreed to hatch.

Typical of his {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}, Snor is very lazy, only responding to food when asleep. Despite its lazy nature, Snor is also a very powerful battler, being used in many of Red's important battles. He also possesses a great deal of physical strength, being able to even stop the runaway Magnet Train by himself.

* At level 89 Snor is tied with [[Blue's Charizard]] for being the highest leveled Pokémon belonging to a [[Pokédex holder]].
