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 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.
In Super Smash Bros.[edit]

As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Snorlax uses Body Slam as its attack. It jumps in the air and disappears off the screen. Snorlax will then inflate itself, making itself bigger, and descend towards the bottom of the screen. Any character that makes contact with Snorlax will take damage and considerable knockback. Snorlax's hitboxes can also affect stage elements and set off explosive items such as the Bob-omb. The attack does not harm the summoner.
In Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Snorlax returns in Melee with exactly the same function; however, it descends much faster than in Super Smash Bros.
As a stage element[edit]
A giant balloon of Snorlax (in actuality, the 3D model of Snorlax used in Pokémon Stadium for Nintendo 64) is one of the many floating and bending "platforms" that make the Poké Floats stage. The balloon's belly raises and lowers as if it is "breathing", referencing its sleeping idle animation in Pokemon Stadium.
Trophy[edit]
Snorlax features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the 100+ trophies that can be collected randomly during normal play, such as in the Trophy Lottery and throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches.
- Snorlax
- Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 880 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Snorlax returns in Brawl with exactly the same function.
Trophy[edit]
- Snorlax
- A Sleeping Pokémon. It's the ultimate loafer. Sometimes children like to play on top of its big belly. Once in a slumber, not even the hardest rain or the fiercest wind will wake it. Snorlax recovers health and restores its physical state by sleeping, and it proves daunting with its damaging Snore attack. Snorlax is the king of Sleeping Pokémon.

In Super Smash Bros. 4[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Snorlax reprises its role in Super Smash Bros. 4.
In Smash Tour[edit]
Snorlax appears as a blue item: when selected, it prevents the user from being launched as a result of being KOed or due to the effect of other items like Zinger and Dillon.
Trophy[edit]
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Snorlax trophy is obtained by clearing the "Fitness Junkie" event at normal or hard difficulty.
- Snorlax
This sleepy, Normal-type Pokémon is huge! It eats more than 900 lb. of food every day. Most of the time not spent eating is spent sleeping. That big, round body comes in handy when it's brought onto a Smash Bros. battlefield—the Body Slam attack will send anyone who gets hit flying into the air!- : Pokémon Red & Pokémon Blue (09/1998)
: Pokémon X & Pokémon Y (10/2013)
Snorlax is often referred to as the Sleeping Pokémon, and there's a good reason for that! This giant loafer spends almost all its time snoozing, getting up for just long enough each day to scoff up a tidy 400kg of food. In this game, it soars into the air and uses its Body Slam attack, smacking into fighters like a giant wrecking ball.- : Pokémon Red/Blue (10/1999)

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
As a Poké Ball Pokémon[edit]
Snorlax returns as a Poké Ball summon with the same role. However, it cannot be summoned on Duck Hunt, Flat Zone X, Pac-Land, and Super Mario Maker.

Trivia[edit]
- In Brawl, if Snorlax hits the side of an opponent's shield as it jumps, it will bounce off and move diagonally.
- Goldeen, Mew, and Snorlax are the only Pokémon to appear as Poké Ball Pokémon in every game.
- Snorlax is the only one of these three that actually attacks when summoned.
- Snorlax's evolutionary line is the only one in the series to have more than one summonable Pokémon in the same game, with Munchlax also being a Poké Ball Pokémon in Brawl.
Notes[edit]
- ^ While Konishi is credited for Snorlax's voice in the Japanese versions of SSB4 and Ultimate, the anime episode the voice comes from (episode 41) credits someone going by "Mr. T". It is not known if "Mr. T" is Konishi.
