Snorlax (カビゴン, Kabigon in Japanese language versions) is a fictional creature in the Pokémon media franchise. It appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in all three Smash Bros. games.

Creature description

Snorlax is one of the original 151 Pokémon that appears in the first generation games Pokémon Red & Blue. The player could capture a Snorlax by playing the Poké Flute to wake it up. The Poké Flute was used to awaken Snorlax in both the Pokémon anime and Pokémon Snap. Ash Ketchum at one time caught a Snorlax on his Orange Island adventures. When the fourth generation came around, Snorlax gained a pre-evolved form Pokémon named Munchlax. A player could obtain a Munchlax by either breeding two Snorlaxes while one holds a Full Incense or slab hunny on a tree.

As a stage element

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 comprise the Poké Floats stage. The balloon's belly raises and lowers as if "breathing".

As a trophy

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. It reads as follows:

Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokemon 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 Pokemon on record, weight in at over 1,000 pounds.
