Strong point: HP — among the highest in the entire Pokédex. Its weakest point is Speed — lower than 93% of species. This is the final form of its line — it does not evolve any further. On defense it has 1 weakness and 1 full immunity. Ghost-type moves do nothing to it at all.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: HP; weak point: Speed.
Attack and Sp. Def share first place here, so any nature that raises one of them will do. The list of natures shows what each one does.
Which nature to choose
It hits physically: its Attack (110) is 45 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA It moves second and nothing will change that, so the whole boost goes into power.
- Brave +Atk · −Spe The Trick Room version: with the turn order reversed, the slower the better, and Gyro Ball calculates its power from exactly this lowered Speed.
- Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

How players use it
Data from 574,541 ranked battles on Smogon (Gen 9 OU, 2026-09). These are not numbers from the game — they are player habits. Gen 9 OU is the most popular format with no top-down team restrictions — everything is allowed except what was deemed too strong.
Rank 199 among 309 Pokémon in use — it is on 0.06% of teams.
Each row is a separate distribution, not a single set: the most common item and the most common move do not have to appear on the same Pokémon.
Pokédex entry
Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.

How it was drawn
1996–2019The sprites come straight from the games in which Snorlax appeared — one from each release.
Variant gallery
The gallery shows only the appearance variants that exist for this Pokémon. Every image shows the same character and differs in source — a Pokémon HOME render or a pixel sprite — and in coloring, regular or shiny.
TCG cards (33)
All Snorlax cards →Snorlax has 33 cards in 24 sets. The oldest of them are shown below.
Breeding
All Egg Groups →Offspring can come from 80 species from the same Egg Groups (with opposite genders) or from Ditto. Below are the first 12 by Pokédex number.
The Egg hatches after 40 cycles, which is roughly 10,500 steps. The exact cycle length depends on the game — newer titles shortened it noticeably — so treat this number as an order of magnitude, not a countdown. Having the Flame Body Ability in your party halves the wait.
