}}
'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} via {{DL|Happiness|Evolutions|Happiness}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]].


In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and their remakes, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a Trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[PokéGear]].
Snorlax can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Snorlax''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.


==Biology==
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.
===Physiology===
Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also large, and it has two pointed teeth sticking out. Its feet, with three claws and a circular brown paw pad, are extremely large compared to most Pokémon, assisting its balance when it chooses to stand. Its arms and foreclaws are short, but are long enough for Snorlax to grab its food and eat it, and strong enough to deliver powerful blows. It is usually dark blue or green in color.
====Gender differences====
None.


===Special abilities===
Snorlax is the [[game mascot]] of {{g|Sleep}}.
When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability. They can throw incredibly powerful punches and cause immense {{m|earthquake}}s.


===Behavior===
==Biology==
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax isn't satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way.
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.


===Habitat===
Snorlax is often found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and forests}}. It wakes up only to eat, requiring 900&nbsp;lbs. (400&nbsp;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 attract Pokémon around them to sleep. A lot of Pokémon tend to gather around Snorlax to sleep near it or on it.
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there.


===Diet===
Snorlax is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Pulverizing Pancake}}.
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Snorlax is not very picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible. They are fond of large, thorny vines or their diet may compose of bananas found in grasslands. Snorlax only wake up to eat. They need to eat about 900lbs (90% of their bodyweight) to be satisfied before falling back to sleep. Some Snorlax sleep for a month at a time, so 900lbs of food is enough to sustain them for one month whilst asleep.


==In the anime==
===Forms===
[[Image:AG149 107.jpeg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Snorlax]] using {{m|Ice Punch}}]]
[[File:143Snorlax-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Gigantamax Snorlax attacking]]
===Major appearances===
Snorlax has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
====[[Ash's Snorlax]]====
In ''[[EP094|Snack Attack!]]'', a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands|Grapefruit Islands]]. {{Ash}} managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], [[Ash's Snorlax]] spent most of its time at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab.


====Other====
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]].
Snorlax first appeared in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. This Snorlax was blocking the water flow to a small village.


In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. Marcel's newly evolved {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcel made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.
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>


A Snorlax takes part in the [[Pokéathlon]] in [[DP160]].
Gigantamax Snorlax is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Replenish}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Snorlax (TCG)}}
 
==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."''
 
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Snorlax SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Snorlax in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]
[[File:Snorlax_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|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 {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|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==
==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. It was later out-massed by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}. In [[Generation IV]], {{p|Dialga}} and both forms of {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it as well, setting it back to its present state of the sixth-heaviest Pokémon known.
* In several 3D games, such as in the core series and [[Pokémon Stadium series]], Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.
* Snorlax has the fifth highest base HP of all Pokémon, after {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and {{p|Wailord}}, in that order.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Snorlax stands up and dances to the music when the [[Poké Flute]] is used.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{m|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but can't naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]].
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, if the {{player}} interacts with a Snorlax that is {{pkmn2|walking}} with them while at [[Mt. Silver]], the message "SNORLAX is feeling very eager" will appear. 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}}.
* Unusually, in [[Pokémon Stadium]] (and later 3D games), Snorlax open their eyes when they faint.  Also, when they use special attacks, they stand up.
* 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.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], when using the Pokéflute it stands up and dances to the music.
* Snorlax's evolutionary line is the only one to have all of its members appear from a {{i|Poké Ball}} within a single [[Super Smash Bros.]] game.
* At 110, Snorlax and {{p|Dodrio}} have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all [[Generation I]] Normal-types.
* 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 [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{m|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant, possibly referencing its large body mass.
** In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches in 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.
* Though Snorlax appears to be dark blue or green in color, it belongs to the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Black|black color group}}.
* Snorlax is the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}} Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
* Snorlax is the heaviest Pokémon that can legally hatch from an egg.
* Snorlax is tied with {{p|Gengar}} for the most [[Pokédex]] entries in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', with a total of 7.
*Snorlax's Red (Japanese) and Green Sprite is symmetrical. {{P|Shellder}} in these games is also symmetrical.
* Snorlax is the subject of a campaign known as [[Project Snorlax]], which was launched by [[The Pokémon Company]] on March 17, 2023.
*Snorlax is the only Pokémon to have a new sprite for Emerald.  
* Snorlax's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />
 
===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===
===Origin===
Snorlax strongly resembles a fat cat or Totoro from {{wp|My Neighbor Totoro}}.
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====
====Name origin====
Snorlax's name is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax''. The ''lax'' in its name might also come from relax. Its Japanese name may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'', snoring, or 憩う ''ikou'', rest. It may also incorporate mold, 黴 ''kabi'', noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food. 잠만보 is derived from "Sleepy-head".
Snorlax is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax'' or ''lackadaisical''. It was reportedly derived from ''Esquilax'', the name of a nonexistent medieval creature described in ''{{wp|The Simpsons}}'' episode "{{wp|Lisa's Wedding}}".<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref> Snorlax may also involve ''relax''.<ref>(2006). ''[[Pokémon Fan (US)|Pokémon Fan]]: 10th Anniversary News Booklet'', p. 8 ([https://archive.org/details/10-anni-book/ Archive])</ref>
 
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://web.archive.org/web/20230805233026/https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/more-burning-questions-for-the-pokemon-series More Burning Questions For The Pokémon Series]." ''Game Informer'' (Archived on August 5, 2023.)</ref> Kabigon may also involve 黴 ''kabi'' (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food.

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.

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. Professor Neroli does research on Snorlax, particularly on their ability to attract Pokémon around them to sleep. A lot of Pokémon tend to gather around Snorlax to sleep near it or on it.

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

Forms

Gigantamax Snorlax attacking

Snorlax has a Gigantamax form.

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.

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.[1]

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

Other appearances

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

Concept and development

Snorlax was designed by Ken Sugimori.[3]

Origin

Snorlax's appearance and behavior of constantly eating and sleeping were directly inspired by Game Freak planner Kōji Nishino.[4][5] 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 is a combination of snore and lax or lackadaisical. It was reportedly derived from Esquilax, the name of a nonexistent medieval creature described in The Simpsons episode "Lisa's Wedding".[2] Snorlax may also involve relax.[6]

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.[5] Kabigon may also involve 黴 kabi (mold), noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food.
