History
Snorlax is an iconic first-generation Pokémon, instantly recognizable by its imposing stature and its penchant for sleep. This behemoth is famous for its ability to block paths in the Kanto video games, forcing Trainers to use the Poké Flute to awaken it from its nap. Its relaxed personality and insatiable appetite make it one of the most memorable and endearing Pokémon in the franchise.
The Snorlax 15/112 card originates from the EX FireRed & LeafGreen expansion, released in 2004. This set is a nostalgic tribute to the original Pokémon Red and Blue games, refreshed for the Game Boy Advance. It allowed a new generation of players to discover the Kanto region and old fans to relive their adventures. The expansion is highly valued by collectors for its direct link to Pokémon's roots and the quality of its artwork.
The artwork for this holographic card is by Kagemaru Himeno, a renowned artist celebrated for their distinctive style that breathes life and personality into Pokémon. On this card, Snorlax is depicted in its most classic pose: deeply asleep, with a peaceful smile that suggests a well-deserved rest. The subtle background allows the central figure of the Pokémon to stand out, while the holographic shimmer accentuates Snorlax's presence, even in its lethargic state, making this card a captivating addition to any collection.
