Phases & Attacks:

  • Phase 1: Sleep & Stomp: Snorlax will mostly be asleep, but it will occasionally wake up to perform a powerful stomp attack, creating shockwaves that can damage your Styler.
  • Phase 2: Body Slam: As its capture line weakens, Snorlax might start to roll or perform a body slam, making it harder to circle.

Weaknesses & Strategy:

  • Stun with Electric: Your Partner Pokémon (Minun or Plusle) is invaluable here. Use its 'Electric' Field Move to stun Snorlax, giving you a safe window to draw multiple circles.
  • Large Circles: Snorlax is big, so focus on drawing large, continuous circles around its entire body. Avoid lifting your stylus.
  • Dodge Stomps: When Snorlax prepares to stomp, quickly move your stylus away from the impact zone to avoid damage.
  • Replenish Energy: If your Styler energy gets low, quickly capture a nearby weaker Pokémon (like a Bidoof) to restore some energy before re-engaging Snorlax.

Reward: Completion of Mission 3, Ranger Points, and access to the next area.
