Snorlax "Snor" (#143) Normal Adamant natured Loves to eat
Snorlax, at times known as "Snor", was one of the last pokémon Red caught before arriving in Luceti. Their relationship was still in progress then, and with all the amounts of free food and the people willing to give it up to the gluttonous pokémon, it became obvious from day 1 that Snorlax was happier listening to his stomach than to Red in the face of food.
Unlike Venusaur who was born in a laboratory, and even unlike Pikachu - wild, but part of a safe community in Viridian Forest - Snorlax has the most feral personality out of all three pokémon. He travelled around Kanto (maybe even Johto; there's no difference to Snorlax) in the search of a constantly satisfied stomach, using his massive gut and hard head to support himself. Being stubborn and unyielding to any others did get him into scrapes, and a majority of pokémon couldn't put a dent in his impressively tough stomach. Of course, there were those who outsmarted Snorlax through strategy or through annoying him and tricking him, so it wasn't always a pleasant time out there.
But more often than not, being loud and unruly was the way to go. His journey for food took him to Celadon City; cities were always plenty with it. After eating as much as he could get his paws on - and troubling the citizens and visitors of Celadon after it - he plopped himself down and fell asleep for hours.
Until some punk human woke him up and battled him to complete exhaustion. At least he got to break plenty of those pesky pokéballs.
But still he found himself in one, and now that little punk human was calling him his trainer. Snorlax's pride was hurt from his loss and why should he listen to anyone but himself? It was a struggle for the two to get along (though he wasn't going to turn down food, and he wasn't going to let any dumb human on dumb human machines with wheels laugh at him either). It took time for the two to begin to understand each other (or for Snorlax to bother listening to Red), though Red took the time while they were hanging around Fuschia City.
And then came Luceti.
BATTLE STATISTICS
» Weak to fighting based attacks » Fully resistant to ghostly attacks
Snorlax's body isn't just for show, the pokémon having an incredible amount of endurance. He holds better against special/magic attacks than he does physical, though this isn't saying much - if you want to hit hard against Snorlax, be a capable fighter that can hit hard in the first place.
