Snorlax is a massive, extremely heavy, vaguely ursine lifeform. The Pokédex says it is very lazy, and its typical day consists of nothing more than eating and sleeping. It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day, and it promptly goes back to sleep once it is done eating. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful. Its stomach's digestive fluids can dissolve any kind of food or poison, and it never gets an upset stomach even if it eats moldy or rotten food off the ground. What sounds like its cry may actually be its snores or the rumblings of its hungry belly. It is such a docile specie that there are children who use its expansive belly as a place to play.

Snorlax is one of the original 151 Pokémon that appears in the first generation games ''[[Pokémon Red & Blue]]''. The player could capture a Snorlax by playing the Poké Flute to wake it up. The Poké Flute was used to awaken Snorlax in both the Pokémon anime and ''Pokémon Snap''. Ash Ketchum at one time caught a Snorlax on his Orange Island adventures. When the fourth generation came around, Snorlax gained a pre-evolved form Pokémon named [[Munchlax]]. A player could obtain a Munchlax by either breeding two Snorlaxes while one holds a Full Incense or using honey on a tree.

Snorlax (カビゴン, Kabigon) is a creature in the Pokémon franchise. It appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in all five Smash Bros. games. It is the evolved form of Munchlax.

Origin[edit]

Snorlax's official artwork from Pokémon Red and Green.

Snorlax is one of the first 151 Pokémon first appearing in the Generation I games, and at its debut was the absolute heaviest Pokémon. In Generation VIII, Snorlax is able to temporarily Gigantamax. During the transformation, it gains access to the move G-Max Replenish. It is categorized within the Pokédex at #143 as the "Sleeping Pokémon". In all of the main series games where it is found in the wild it appears sleeping in the middle of roads, blocking them with its enormous size, and must be woken up by the sound of a Poké Flute in order to fight it and be able to proceed. Snorlax evolves from Munchlax when leveled up with high friendship.

Body Slam is a Normal-type move with 85 base power and a 30% chance to paralyze the target. Snorlax can learn it by level in every game.

Snorlax's Japanese and English voice clips used in every Smash game each come from the Pokémon anime episode Wake Up, Snorlax!. Its "rising" clip plays when it wakes up while its "falling" clip plays when its still asleep.
