History

Orange Archipelago

During his travels in the Orange Islands in Snack Attack, Ash discovered an orchard that was under attack by a Snorlax that was eating everything in sight, and was consuming many of the nearby islands vegetation within days. Ash, Misty, Tracey, Pikachu and Jigglypuff eventually managed to stop the Snorlax. This gave Ash the perfect opportunity to catch it.

Ash kept the Snorlax on his team for the remainder of his time in the Orange Islands, but could not use it in the finals due to the fact that it would not wake up and needed to be switched with one of Ash's 30 Tauros. After the tournament was won, Ash then decided to keep his Snorlax at Professor Oak's permanently because he could no longer feed it and only called upon its power in major battles.

Johto

Since then, Snorlax has become one of the senior members of Ash's team, along with Charizard and Pikachu and has provided much needed comic relief in many situations. Ash called upon it for the Sumo Conference, winning the subsequent fight as a result, and later used it to defeat Clair's Kingdra in their rematch. He also used Snorlax during the Johto League competition, first against Gary Oak where it quickly defeated Gary's Nidoqueen and Arcanine, but lost to Scizor. Snorlax then fought during Ash's following match against Harrison, defeating his Steelix and Hypno, though in the end it fell to his Houndoom.

Kanto Battle Frontier

When Ash returned from Hoenn, with May and Max Snorlax befriended May's Munchlax. Most recently, Snorlax helped Ash earn the Guts Symbol from Greta in Wheel of Frontier by defeating her Hariyama with an Ice Punch and literally flattening her Medicham with Body Slam.

Moves used

Trivia

• In the Electric Tale of Pikachu, while Ash was trying to stop Snorlax from eating the grapefruits, he was nearly eaten by it.
