Snorlax (Japanese: カビゴン Kabigon) is a Normal-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves from Munchlax when leveled up with high friendship.

Snorlax can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Snorlax if it has the Gigantamax Factor for its Gigantamax form.

In Generations I and II games, their remakes, 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 is the game mascot of Pokémon Sleep.

Biology

Snorlax is a huge, bipedal, dark blue-green mammalian Pokémon 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 heaviest Normal type.

Snorlax is often found in 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 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.

Gigantamax Snorlax attacking

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. 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.

Snorlax is the only known Pokémon capable of using the Z-Move Pulverizing Pancake.

Gigantamax Snorlax is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Replenish.

Other appearances

Snorlax in Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Super Smash Bros.

When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a 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 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 Snore attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon."

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U

Snorlax in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.

Snorlax trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS

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 Spirit. In the Spirit Battle, Snorlax, who is depicted as a giant gray King K. Rool, is immobile but has 500 HP and slowly regains HP. The player fails if they cannot KO Snorlax before the time runs out.

Trivia

• In the Pokémon Stadium series (and later 3D games), Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.
• In Pokémon Snap, Snorlax stands up and dances to the music when the Poké Flute is used.
• In HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player interacts with a Snorlax that is walking with them while at Mt. Silver, the message "SNORLAX is feeling very eager" will appear. This is due to 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 Pikachu or Charizard.
• In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Snorlax is programmed to be able to learn Charm through breeding, but no other Pokémon in the Monster Group can legitimately learn it to pass down as an Egg Move in those games. In Generation III on, Snorlax can inherit the move from Bulbasaur by chain breeding.
• Snorlax's evolution family is the only one to have all of its members appear from a Poké Ball within a single Super Smash Bros. game.
• In Pokémon Gold and Silver, Snorlax is the only Pokémon to receive a +40 catch rate modifier when a Heavy Ball is used.
  • In Pokémon Crystal, a bug causes the capture formula for the Heavy Ball to incorrectly retrieve the weights of Kadabra, Tauros and Sunflora, so they also get a +40 catch rate modifier.
• Snorlax was designed by Ken Sugimori.
• Snorlax is the only black Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

Origin

Snorlax's appearance and behavior of constantly eating and sleeping were directly inspired by Game Freak planner Kōji Nishino. Additionally, Snorlax may be loosely based on hibernating bears or teddy bears. It may also be based on a 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 Kirby (Japanese: カービィ Kābī), the eponymous main character of Nintendo's 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 Pokémon Red and Green because of his large appetite. Kabigon may also involve 黴 kabi (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food.
