Pokedex Entries26 entries

Generation VII

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 Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee

Will eat anything, even if the food happens to be a little moldy. It never gets an upset stomach.

Generation VIII

Shield

This Pokémon’s stomach is so strong, even eating moldy or rotten food will not affect it.

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.
