Pokédex entries

Snorlax

Red
Blue
Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.
Yellow Will eat anything, even if the food happens to be a little moldy. It never gets an upset stomach.
Gold What sounds like its cry may actually be its snores or the rumblings of its hungry belly.
Silver Its stomach’s digestive juices can dissolve any kind of poison. It can even eat things off the ground.
Crystal This POKéMON’s stomach is so strong, even eating moldy or rotten food will not affect it.
Ruby
Sapphire
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.
FireRed It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it goes promptly to sleep.
LeafGreen Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.
Emerald 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 big belly as a place to play.
Diamond Its stomach can digest any kind of food, even if it happens to be moldy or rotten.
Pearl It stops eating only to sleep. It doesn’t feel full unless it eats nearly 900 pounds a day.
Platinum When its belly is full, it becomes too lethargic to even lift a finger, so it is safe to bounce on its belly.
HeartGold What sounds like its cry may actually be its snores or the rumblings of its hungry belly.
SoulSilver Its stomach’s digestive juices can dissolve any kind of poison. It can even eat things off the ground.

Omega Ruby
Alpha Sapphire
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.
Sun Its stomach is said to be incomparably strong. Even Muk’s poison is nothing more than a hint of spice on Snorlax’s tongue.
Moon It eats nearly 900 pounds of food every day. It starts nodding off while eating—and continues to eat even while it’s asleep.
Ultra Sun It doesn’t do anything other than eat and sleep. When prompted to make a serious effort, though, it apparently displays awesome power.
Ultra Moon 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!

Let's Go Eevee
Will eat anything, even if the food happens to be a little moldy. It never gets an upset stomach.
Sword It is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food every day. When it is done eating, it goes promptly to sleep.
Shield This Pokémon’s stomach is so strong, even eating moldy or rotten food will not affect it.
Brilliant Diamond Its stomach can digest any kind of food, even if it happens to be moldy or rotten.
Shining Pearl It stops eating only to sleep. It doesn’t feel full unless it eats nearly 900 pounds a day.
Legends: Arceus This glutton appears in villages without warning and devours the entirety of their rice granaries—such occurrences have long been counted among the gravest of disasters.

Gigantamax

Sword Gigantamax energy has affected stray seeds and even pebbles that got stuck to Snorlax, making them grow to a huge size.
Shield Terrifyingly strong, this Pokémon is the size of a mountain—and moves about as much as one as well.
