What it does
As long as Snorlax is your Active Pokémon, the Defending Pokémon can't Retreat. This power stops working when Snorlax is affected by a Special Condition.
Snorlax is now Asleep. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Asleep.
Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful.

Where it came from
The Snorlax card, numbered 49 in the Wizards Black Star Promos set, was released in the United States in early 2002. It was originally distributed as a promotional insert within the Pokémon Trading Card Game: Best of Game collection, specifically designed to coincide with the release of the Pokémon video games for the Game Boy Advance. This card represents a transition period in the TCG's history, as Wizards of the Coast was nearing the conclusion of their licensing agreement with The Pokémon Company.
The card features artwork by Japanese illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose signature style defined the aesthetic of the original Pokémon generation. Sugimori’s design emphasizes Snorlax's iconic, slumbering nature, utilizing a clean, static pose that aligns with the classic early-era TCG layouts. Upon release, the card was well-received by collectors for its utility in competitive play at the time and its distinct visual departure from the base set illustrations.
