Character info
The character
Snorlax is a famously gluttonous Pokémon known for eating nearly 900 pounds of food a day and then falling into a deep sleep. It is associated here with Hop, a trainer character from the Pokémon Sword and Shield games who serves as a rival and friend to the player. Snorlax is recognized for its massive size and surprising power despite its sluggish, sleepy demeanor.
This card
This is Hop's Snorlax, card number 117 out of 159 from the Journey Together set, printed in 2025 as a holofoil Rare. The artwork, illustrated by GOSSAN, depicts Snorlax sprawled on grass in a stylized stadium-like setting, with a small portrait of Hop in the corner indicating its trainer association. The card uses the Basic Pokémon layout with full-art style holo treatment typical of trainer's Pokémon cards in this set.
How it plays
Hop's Snorlax is a Basic Pokémon with 150 HP. Its Ability, Extra Helpings, causes attacks used by Hop's Pokémon to deal 30 more damage to the opponent's Active Pokémon before applying Weakness and Resistance, though this effect does not stack. Its attack, Dynamic Press, costs three colorless energy and deals 140 damage, but also deals 80 damage to itself. It has a weakness to fighting-type attacks (x2), no listed resistance, and a retreat cost of four energy.
