Snorlax

Snorlax is card 27 of 64 in Jungle, released in June 1999, a Rare. It is a Basic Colorless-type with 90 HP.

As a Basic Pokémon, Snorlax needs no prior evolution to put into play, which made it a practical card in the era's decks.

Illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Sugimori is the lead character designer of Pokémon itself, so his card art carries the tight, on-model look that defined how the creatures appear in the games.

The Pokédex entry printed on Snorlax reads: "Very lazy. Just eats and sleeps. As its rotund bulk builds, it becomes steadily more slothful."

A massive Normal-type Pokémon famous for sleeping on roads and blocking the player's path. Jungle holo Snorlax is one of the most-loved Wizards-era cards. Sleeping art and friendly silhouette make it a sentimental marquee.

Based on recent eBay sales, raw copies trade from $14 to $57 depending on the print and a PSA 10 trades around $1,900. The 1st Edition print is the most valuable, with a PSA 10 near $1,900. The table on this page breaks the price down by print and grade, updated 2026-05-28.

Jungle shipped in 1st Edition and Unlimited, with no Shadowless print. The Edition 1 stamp under the artwork separates the scarcer 1st Edition Snorlax from the Unlimited copy. The set also has the famous No Symbol error from its first print run, which adds a premium when the lower-right set symbol is missing.

Snorlax grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Snorlax is worth more than collectors assume.

For Snorlax, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Snorlax can make sense.
