What it does
Snorlax can't become Asleep, Confused, Paralyzed, or Poisoned. This power can't be used if Snorlax is already Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.

Where it came from
Released in 1999 as part of the Jungle expansion, the first major set following the original Pokémon Base Set, the Snorlax card reflects the strategic shift in the early trading card game. It was designed to leverage the popularity of the video games' obstacles, capturing Snorlax's identity as a stationary, high-health defensive wall. The artwork, provided by illustrator Ken Sugimori, maintains the iconic, clean aesthetic characteristic of early Wizards of the Coast-era cards, focusing on the creature's massive, slumbering form.
The Jungle set was intended to broaden the appeal of the burgeoning Pokémon phenomenon by introducing new evolution chains and unique abilities. Within this context, the Snorlax rare served as a sought-after staple for competitive play, prized for its 'Thick Fat' stalling capabilities. It remains a foundational piece of the late 1990s hobbyist surge, widely recognized by collectors as a quintessential example of early Ken Sugimori character design and the nostalgic era of English-language Pokémon card distribution.
