in the "pokémon" anime, a number of snorlax play various supporting roles in certain episodes. the first appearance of a snorlax was in episode 41 - "wake up snorlax!" - in which it becomes a roadblock to the next town ash is traveling to. ash ketchum also captures one in "snack attack!" that was eating the grapefruits of the grapefruit islands. he uses it sporadically, mostly opting to use other pokémon due to it constantly sleeping. ash called upon it for the sumo conference in "ring masters", and later used it to defeat clair's kingdra in their rematch. he also used snorlax during the johto league competition, first against gary oak where it quickly defeated gary's nidoqueen and arcanine, but lost to scizor. snorlax then fought during ash's following match against harrison, defeating his steelix and hypno, though in the end it was defeated by his houndoom. snorlax later meets and gets to be friends with may's younger munchlax. most recently, snorlax helped ash earn the guts symbol from greta in "wheel of frontier" by defeating her hariyama with an ice punch and flattening her medicham with body slam.
