Snagem Head Gonzap in the beginning cutscene of Pokémon Colosseum

Gonzap (Japanese: ヘルゴンザ Helgonza) is the leader of Team Snagem, a band of criminals operating in Orre for some time. His wanted poster is quite prominently featured in Chief Sherles' office. He is the only character in the games to be known as a Snagem Head (Japanese: スナッチ団ボス Team Snatch Boss).

Gonzap is a powerful man with large, prominent muscles, a distinctively-twisted mustache and various scars on his chest. Prior to the events of Pokémon Colosseum, the gang leader agreed to help Cipher carry out their plans. Team Snagem was provided with powerful technology called Snag Machines, allowing them to snag the Pokémon of innocent Trainers so that Cipher could turn them into Shadow Pokémon.

In the beginning of Colosseum, one of Gonzap's men, Wes, steals an arm-mounted Snag Machine, destroys a large-scale model, and destroys the gang's headquarters before leaving, enraging Gonzap. Gonzap later confronted Wes and Rui in one of the top floors of Realgam Tower, but was defeated.

With the defeat of Evice, Gonzap returned to the Snagem Hideout, where he eventually fought Wes again. After Gonzap's second loss to Wes, he vanished - never to be seen again...

In Pokémon XD, Gonzap reappears as the Snagem Head, though his character model is larger and more exaggerated than it was in Colosseum. He is found in the Snagem Hideout once more, where Wakin, Agrev, and Biden bring him the Snag Machine they had stolen from Michael outside the S.S. Libra wreck. After Michael confronts and defeats Gonzap, he returns the Snag Machine and admits that it wouldn't have fit on his massive biceps anyway. He and his Snagems later assists Michael at Cipher Key Lair by having Wakin's Gloom use Sleep Powder to knock out a pair of guards blocking the way.

After the defeat of Greevil, Gonzap is mentioned to be at the Orre Colosseum, where he indeed appears as the final opponent of the fifth round.

In battle, Gonzap tends to favor using Hyper Beam and moves like it repeatedly.
