Snorlax (Japanese: カビゴン Kabigon) is a Normal-type Pokémon. In the Generation I and II games, as well as Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, 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 comes with one of two Abilities: Immunity, which protects the Pokémon from being poisoned; or Thick Fat, which cuts damage from Fire- and Ice-type moves in half.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue
- Very lazy. Just sleeps and eats. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.
- Pokémon Yellow
- Will eat anything, even if the food happens to be moldy. It never gets an upset stomache.
- Pokémon Stadium
- A lazy Pokémon continually fatter by sticking to a cycle of sleeping and eating. Awake only when it eats.
- Pokémon Gold
- What sounds like its cry may actually be its snores or the rumblings of its hungry belly.
- Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
- Snorlax's typical day consists of nothing more than eating and sleeping. It is such a docile Pokémon that there are children who use its expansive belly as a place to play.
- Pokémon Emerald
- Snorlax's typical day consists of nothing more than eating and sleeping. It is such a docile Pokémon that there are children who use its big belly as a place to play.
- Pokémon FireRed
- It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it goes promptly to sleep.

- Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.
Name origin
Snorlax's name is a combination of snore and lax. The German name is merely relax with an "o" at the end.
It may be loosely based on hibernating bears.

Snorlax first appeared in Wake up Snorlax. This Snorlax wake blocking the water flow to a certain town.
In Snack Attack!, a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the Grapefuit Islands. Ash managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the Orange Islands, Ash's Snorlax spent most of its time at Professor Oak's lab.
In Lights, Camerupt, Action, a Snorlax was a sheriff in a western-themed Pokémon movie.
In The Garden of Eatin', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named Marcell by eating the bananas in his Slakoth Banana Garden. Marcell's newly evolved Vigoroth defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcell made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.
In the movies, Ash's Snorlax is seen in The Power of One. A Snorlax also appeared near the end of Destiny Deoxys, evolving from Munchlax in order to stay afloat during a 'flood' of malfunctioning robots.
Evolution
Other appearances
When released from a Pokéball, Snorlax will fly up into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a Body Slam that sends any opponent underneath flying.
Snorlax is also a Pokéfloat. It is in its sleeping form and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.
