'''Snorlax''' is a rare Pokémon introduced in the first generation Pokémon games, known for its sloth and its girth. They commonly appear as roadblocks that have to be awakened. Originally it had no evolutionary line until it was discovered to evolve from [[Munchlax]] in the fourth generation games.

=Information=

Snorlax is a very lazy Pokémon that primarily just eats and sleeps. It builds a rotund bulk, but becomes lazier as it does so. It is usually awake only to eat, and what sounds like its cry may actually be its snores or the rumblings of its hungry stomach. It is also known for its strong stomach, as even eating moldy or rotten food will not affect it, and its digestive juices can dissolve any type of poison. It can even safely eat food off of the ground.

A Snorlax is not satisfied until it eats 880 pounds of food each day. It becomes too lethargic to even move a finger after eating so much, so children often use its belly as a place to play.

A Munchlax evolves into a Snorlax when it levels up with a high amount of happiness, and a Snorlax will only give birth to a Munchlax (as opposed to a normal Snorlax) if it is bred while holding a Full Incense.

==Mainstream Games==

In ''[[Pokémon: Red, Green and Blue Versions|Pokémon: Red, Blue]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Yellow Versions|Yellow]]'', ''[[Pokémon: FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]'', only two Snorlax are found in the game. One is on Route 12 and the other is on Route 16. They are both asleep and block the road, and can only be awakened by playing the [[Pokéflute]]. At this point the Snorlax can be battled and captured, and each Snorlax could only be battled once. 

In ''[[Pokémon: Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon: Gold, Silver]]'', ''[[Pokémon: Crystal Version|Crystal]]'', ''[[Pokémon: HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]]'', a single Snorlax can be found blocking the road between Vermillion City and Route 11, and can be awakened by playing the Pokégear's Poké Flute station, which is only accessible using the EXPN card from the Radio Tower in Lavender Town. In all other games, Snorlax must be traded into the game or (in the fourth and fifth generation games) evolved from Munchlax.

==Other Games==

In ''[[Pokémon Pinball]]'', Snorlax can be found in the Cycling Road on the Red table. in ''[[Pokémon Snap]]'', it is found in the Beach area and playing the Pokéflute causes it to awaken and dance. In ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'', a Shadow version of Snorlax can be snagged from [[Cipher]] Admin [[Ardos]] on Citadark Island. After being purified, this Snorlax could then be traded to any of the Gameboy Advance color versions.

==Video Games==

*Snorlax appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]'' as one of the Pokémon that can be randomly summoned from the Pokéball item .

==Other Media==

*In the Pokémon anime, one Kanto episode revolved Ash and various others trying to awaken a sleeping Snorlax that was blocking off a river. Ash later caught a Snorlax during the Orange Islands arc, although it was sent back to [[Professor Oak]]'s lab at the end of the arc. Other Snorlax have made minor appearances throughout the anime.
*In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Red catches a Snorlax at the Cycling Road. It becomes part of Red's regular team and one of his most powerful Pokémon,

=Trivia=

*Its name is simply a combination of "snore" and "lax", as in "relax".
*Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon during the first two generations, but the latter two have featured heavier Pokémon to the point where Snorlax is now the sixth heaviest Pokémon, with [[Groudon]] being the heaviest.
