Did you use the sleeping Snorlaxs?
 
In HG/SS, there are two sleeping Snorlaxs both which block your path which you must first wake up using the Pokeflute station which can be found on your Pokegear, then either defeating or capturing it. What did you do when you encountered it? Did you try to flee or catch or only aim for defeating?

If you caught Snorlax, did you ever use it as a party member? For what purpose, a HM slave or one of your fellow battlers? Perhaps,you stored it in the PC, for it never to see daylight again? But yeah, what did you do with your Snorlax and why?

Discuss <333.

On my first playthrough, I tried to use it but I didn't like it so I boxed it, now I'm just using 6 pokemon and since I'm not planning on having a Snorlax on my team, I'm just going to defeat them.

Sarah Morgan January 3rd, 2013 10:03 PM

Nope, even though mine was a Shiny lol

Captain Gizmo January 3rd, 2013 10:04 PM

I actualled used the Snorlax as a prime member of my team :P

It also helped me all the way to the E4 and even beat Lance. I just love it's special defense and it's attack stats. I love my female Snorlax xD

Deceit January 4th, 2013 1:20 AM

Snorlax are great and I always pick one to be on my team if I can, they are really strong, with good attack as well as HP. But for my run-throughs of HG and SS, I didn't use it, mainly because Snorlax is only available post Hall of Fame, and I always make a six pokemon team for the Elite 4, and after beating them the first time, I didn't really feel like getting rid of a member on my team for it, not after all the training I had done.
So, in short, its a great pokemon to use, but I didn't because it comes after beating the E4 once.

Sadly, I ran out of Poke Balls when trying to catch Snorlax so I had to knock it out.

I don't think I ever planned on using it anyway.

curiousnathan January 4th, 2013 2:16 AM

I caught it throughout every journey of mine. I don't know why, I just...caught it because I thought it was ...rare?

Kikaito plush January 4th, 2013 2:33 AM

No I never used snorlax as I have used one in the past in older games. I just put in the breeding center to get a munchlax.

Yeah, that's what I think. It's kind of rare... and for that reason I was so upset when I kicked him out accidentally (Don't know why I wasn't looking at the screen.)

Brendino January 4th, 2013 12:35 PM

I already had a better Snorlax on Fire Red that I was planning to Pal Park over, so I never caught the one in HeartGold. I just knocked it out and moved on. Eventually it came back on Route 12 where it was less in the way, and I've just left it sleeping there to this day.

I'm pretty sure it comes back if you knock it out after defeating the E4 again in another location.

As for me, I caught it, and then it got to have a forever rest in the PC.

Satoshi Ookami January 5th, 2013 12:30 AM

I did use Snorlax in one of my Silver playthroughs against Red but as this is HG/SS thread, I must say I only caught one and never used it =)

alisaie January 5th, 2013 1:43 AM

I caught it for the Pokedex (because on my Soul Silver I cared about the Pokedex ... at least until after I completed the regional one), but I had never used it. I had already had a team built by then so there was no need.

Pillowing January 30th, 2013 5:26 AM

I always made room for a snorlax! I just really love the tubby pokemon, haha. And I really liked having a spare to make a little munchlax cutie! This big buster always helped me out in the elite 4.

Caelus February 13th, 2013 9:43 PM

I always catch event pokemon so I did stock up on ultra balls in advance so I could capture it, but I never used it much. By that point my team was established and I didn't need any other pokemon.

JohnnyJ773 February 13th, 2013 10:22 PM

I caught it, just to say I have one.

GallifreyanGallade February 16th, 2013 10:37 AM

Once I used the Snorlax as a post-game team member, but that was in my first playthrough of HeartGold and I've never done it since.

Sheep February 16th, 2013 7:47 PM

Never have. It was too hard for me to train and I pretty much had my entire team by the time I reached Kanto, so I ended up skipping them every time!

Starry Windy February 16th, 2013 11:58 PM

I captured my Snorlax but I put it in PC because I never used it.

Shayminlover123 February 17th, 2013 4:09 AM

No I just caught them because I knew they where the only two wild Snorlax's in the game.

Sweets Witch February 17th, 2013 5:34 PM

I always catch one of them, but I've only used it during one playthrough. It was okay. Certainly not worth its weight at that point in the game, though.

ZePokemonGuy February 18th, 2013 5:25 AM

Snorlax was my tank. If you got lucky with the nature, all that fat would provide a defense of EPIC PROPORTIONS. With only one type super effective against it and masses of HP, it was one of my favourite Pokemon.
~ Body Slam for dayz. :3 ~

Inferna February 18th, 2013 5:33 AM

Caught the Vermillion one, it was a female with Adamant which was lucky :D and I killed the other one xP Snorlax is a bamf though I need to use one :3

Isseubnida February 18th, 2013 12:49 PM

I utilize every Gift/Legendary/Overworld Pokemon.

pleb February 23rd, 2013 2:40 AM

I trained one of them to level 74.

WishCookie February 23rd, 2013 3:35 AM

Na I didnt, I'm still trying to get them as shinies.

Elaitenstile February 23rd, 2013 5:04 AM

I caught one and tried to make a Munchlax out of it. Then I figured i didn't have the damn incense. So I trained it till 80, and earthquak'd Red's Pikachu.

The Amazing Justin February 23rd, 2013 9:34 AM

I planned on catching one, but I got tired most of the time while trying to do so.

Twilight-kun February 23rd, 2013 1:35 PM

Only if it liked to run and had a Jolly Nature

Dat speed...

Also, use the Black Apricorns and get yourself some Heavy Balls

caught it in one try when it was at red health

Firox February 23rd, 2013 2:21 PM

I haven't got to Kanto yet, but I know that I won't use it at all. I will capture one for Pokedex, with me it won't see the light of day.

IsaacTwentySeven February 23rd, 2013 7:28 PM

I killed them by mistake, I would've liked to have caught them for my Pokedex.

PowerArmor34 February 25th, 2013 8:15 PM

That was my main wall in my first professional team and always used them on my playthroughs due to their massive defenses and range of attacks it can learn.

theSyko501 February 26th, 2013 12:29 AM

Yup caught and used him, Snorlax is my favorite pokemon after all.

Ohohoho.

But no, I usually try and catch both although I rarely use them. Sometimes I do, I might this playthrough.

Sydian February 27th, 2013 10:39 PM

Nah, I've never used them on a team sadly. I do catch them though. I mean...they have Leftovers. I kinda...want those. lol
