460 kg1,010 lb
Snorlax weighs 460 kg (1,014.1 lb), according to its official Pokédex entry, and stands 2.1 m tall. That makes it the heaviest of the original 151 Pokémon and the heaviest Normal type. It is not the heaviest Pokémon overall: 19 species outweigh it, most of them legendaries or Ultra Beasts.

The figure is the Pokédex weight that the games and pokemon.com give for Snorlax: 460 kg, or 1,014.1 lb, at a height of 2.1 m (6 ft 11 in). Scarlet and Violet list the same numbers.
Pokémon Legends: Arceus is the one game where individual Snorlax vary in size. There the standard is still 460 kg, but a small one can weigh 294.4 kg, a large one 662.4 kg, and an Alpha Snorlax 938.4 kg.
Its appetite matches its bulk. The Sword entry says it is not satisfied unless it eats over 880 pounds of food a day (about 400 kg), and the Scarlet entry puts it at nearly 900 pounds. In other words, it eats close to its own weight every day.
Among the original 151, nothing comes close: the next heaviest is Golem at 300 kg. It is also the heaviest Normal type, ahead of Regigigas (420 kg) and Arceus (320 kg). Dusk Mane Necrozma, a form rather than a species, is listed at exactly the same 460 kg.
Across the whole National Pokédex, 19 species are heavier. The top is a tie between Celesteela and Cosmoem at 999.9 kg, then Groudon and Eternatus at 950 kg. Six ordinary Pokémon also beat it: Mudsdale (920 kg), Cetitan (700 kg), Copperajah (650 kg), Metagross (550 kg), Stonjourner (520 kg) and Avalugg (505 kg). So the common claim that Snorlax is the heaviest non-legendary Pokémon is not true.
Size and weight do not always go together. Wailord is listed at 14.5 m, almost seven times the height of Snorlax, yet weighs only 398 kg.
Low Kick and Grass Knot get stronger the heavier the target is, and reach their maximum power of 120 against anything over 200 kg. At 460 kg, Snorlax always takes the full-power version.
Heavy Slam and Heat Crash work the other way: the more the user outweighs the target, the stronger the hit. Snorlax learns Heavy Slam at level 32 in Scarlet and Violet (and from TM121), and can learn Heat Crash from TM189. With its 460 kg, the move has 120 power against targets under 92 kg, 100 up to 115 kg, 80 up to about 153 kg, 60 up to 230 kg, and 40 against anything heavier.
Munchlax, its pre-evolution, is 0.6 m tall and weighs 105 kg. It evolves into Snorlax when leveled up with high friendship, and in doing so becomes about 4.4 times heavier. Munchlax is a big eater too: its Scarlet entry says it needs to eat its own weight in food every day.
Snorlax weighs 1,014.1 lb, which is 460 kg. That is just over half a US ton.
No. Celesteela and Cosmoem share the record at 999.9 kg, more than twice Snorlax. Snorlax is the heaviest of the first 151 Pokémon and the heaviest Normal type.
Snorlax is 2.1 m (6 ft 11 in) tall. Its Gigantamax form is listed at 35.0 m (114 ft 10 in) or more.
Nobody knows: the games show its weight as ????.? kg, and pokemon.com lists it as unknown. Only its height is given, at over 35 m.
About 400 kg. The Pokédex says it needs over 880 pounds of food a day, close to its own body weight, and goes straight to sleep once it has eaten.
