Snorlax is a massive Normal-type Pokémon species first identified in the Kanto region; although it might not be native to that region, since only one specimen has been observed there. It also has an immature stage known as Munchlax.
Snorlax has its own Z-Crystal which is called Snorlium Z.
Biology[]
Snorlax is a bulky mammalian creature known for its lethargic metabolism and voracious appetite. Its stomach can digest almost anything, regardless of being moldy, rotten or even poisonous. It can even consume Muk's toxic poison.
Its size is so massive that a sleeping Snorlax can easily become a problem as they might block roads and passages, and can only be awakened by the sound of a flute. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, it only wakes up to eat, and requires about 400 kg of food per day. Sometimes, it may continue to eat even after falling asleep.
Like many other Pokémon, this species has an unbalanced gender ratio of seven males to one female. Despite their formidable strength, they're very docile in disposition and often allow children to play on their bellies.
Some fully-evolved members of this species are capable of temporarily assuming a Gigantamax form when they Dynamax.
The anime episode "Snorlax Snowman" features a group of Snorlax with light-blue, almost white coloration, as they've adapted themselves to a colder environment.
