Flavor Text

: When its belly is full, it becomes too lethargic to even lift a finger, so it is safe to bounce on its belly.

: It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it goes promptly to sleep.
: Its stomach can digest any kind of food, even if it happens to be moldy or rotten.
: Snorlax’s typical day consists of nothing more than eating and sleeping. It is such a docile Pokémon that there are children who use its expansive belly as a place to play.

: Its stomach is said to be incomparably strong. Even Muk’s poison is nothing more than a hint of spice on Snorlax’s tongue.
: It eats nearly 900 pounds of food every day. It starts nodding off while eating—and continues to eat even while it’s asleep.
: It doesn’t do anything other than eat and sleep. When prompted to make a serious effort, though, it apparently displays awesome power.
: It has no interest in anything other than eating. Even if you climb up on its stomach while it’s napping, it doesn’t seem to mind at all!
