Despite being a baby Pokémon with little training, he showed considerable stamina and durability when being used by {{adv|Platinum}} to fight [[Fantina]].

====Trophy information====
''"A Big Eater Pokémon. It's normally a slow-moving creature, but when it sees food it moves surprisingly fast. It's native in the Sinnoh region and can be lured out by coating certain trees with sweet honey. Once it grows attached to its trainer, it levels up and evolves into Snorlax."''
