SNORLAX

Your guide to finding and catching Snorlax in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness. Learn its location, how to wake it up, and its stats to add to your team.

Alright, so you're looking to snag yourself a Snorlax in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness? Good choice! This big guy is a real tank and can be a huge help. Here's how you can find and catch one.

Location

You'll find Snorlax blocking the path on Route 11 in the Orre region. It's pretty hard to miss, honestly. It's just lying there, snoozing away.

Waking Snorlax Up

You can't just walk up and battle Snorlax while it's asleep. You'll need to wake it up first. To do this, you'll need to get the Poké Flute. You can obtain the Poké Flute from a shop in the city of Pyrite Town. Once you have it, use it on Snorlax, and it'll wake up, ready to battle!

Catching Snorlax

When Snorlax wakes up, it'll be at Level 20. It's a Normal-type Pokémon, so be mindful of its weaknesses. It's pretty bulky, so you might need to chip away at its HP a bit before you can throw a Poké Ball. Don't get discouraged if it takes a few tries!

Team Building

Snorlax has great HP and Attack stats, making it a fantastic physical attacker. It can take a lot of hits and dish out a lot of damage in return. Consider teaching it moves like Body Slam, Earthquake, or even Rest for some self-healing.

Good luck catching this sleepy giant!
