Snorlax nicknames

a big bear-like creature with a big belly, laying on its back.

Snorlax was introduced in Generation 1 with a Normal typing and a Gigantamax form so there’s plenty of inspiration for a nickname.

Let’s look at some info on Snorlax and suggested nicknames.

Origins

Snorlax is a big bear-like creature who loves to eat. And its Japanese name (Kabigon) is based on Kirby’s Japanese name (Kābī). Did I mention that Snorlax loves to eat?

Besides its insatiable appetite, Snorlax also loves to sleep hence the snor- part of its name. A random but interesting fact: Snorlax is the only black Pokémon introduced in Generation I, according to Bulbapedia.
