CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

For Snorlax, the world seems to revolve around its next meal and the sleep that follows. Its rest is so peaceful that someone on its belly hardly seems to disturb it. This indifference gives it a reassuring, almost welcoming air. Yet stories of villages whose food supplies it devours are a reminder that its enormous appetite can disrupt life around it.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Snorlax from EX FireRed & LeafGreen makes itself Asleep after Collapse. That Sleep becomes useful for Toss and Turn: the attack can be used despite the condition and adds 30 to its base 30 damage if Snorlax is Asleep. Two attacks on the same card directly complement each other.
