Snorlax Steamroller

Megapet88888888 · November 2

There's an inside joke in my family. A joke I had started by showing my grandfather a picture of Snorlax. And saying "Look Grandpa! It's you!" He used to get a chuckle out of it. I miss him.

Thinking of him. I was wondering if it could be possible to add a move or a new gimmick to Snorlax, preferably called "Steamroller". It was something my grandfather used to do, because of his fluffy size, as he playfully rolled over us, while he was trying to wake us up for school in the morning, back when my siblings and I were kids.

I doubt this will be added in. Because he wasn't famous or anything. But, he was an individual that if you got to know him, you loved him immediately. He was a great man and a magnificent father figure.

If this was added in for Snorlax, it would be amazing and wonderful.

Basically, the move would involve Snorlax rolling back and forth a couple times, from side to side. Snorlax could be smiling and this be treated as Snorlax attempting to play. If a Pokédex Entry was made to mention this move, it should definitely mention something about how dangerous it is. (My grandfather would've gotten a kick out of it. He was practically the embodiment of Snorlax.)

My favorite Type is Ghost. Not sure what my favorite Pokémon is. There are too many good options. But, Snorlax is often an immediate thought, because of my grandfather. Seeing a Ghost Type Snorlax might be pretty cool, too. And it'd be adorable. (As most all Ghost Types are.)

I don’t think a regional ghost type snorlax would be added (at least for a while)… but I would be happy to design one for you!!! If you’d like, of course. (I enjoy drawing fakemon and I’ve made quite a few)

Steamroller happens to be a move that already exists, but Snorlax cannot learn it. (Golem, the Venipede line, and Guzzlord can.)

It got removed after Gen 7, though.

I mean... The Ghost Type Snorlax, was just a side thought. My main point of the post was the potential move for Snorlax. Maybe the next gimmick can grant this move to Snorlax? I'd like that. Or, maybe Snorlax will get a Mega Evolution, and become capable of using such a move?

If Snorlax got a regional form and this move was added, I'd assume that it would become a Steel Type or something.

Even better if every special version of Snorlax was catchable like the Snowmen Snorlax, and the different colored Snorlax in Pokémon Sleep, the Red Snorlax that was in the Team Rocket origin episode. (Other exclusive Pokémon as well, but the current topic is Snorlax.)

As for the Ghost Type. I feel like there would be really good lore possibilities there, such as mentioning of "eternal slumber".

Also, I heard about a leaked Snorlax, that was a Fighting Type? That would actually be really cool to see if it's legit. It also explains why Snorlax has such an intense Z-Move.

yeah but I offered the side part because I can’t design an action (like a move) very effectively, as my animation skills aren’t very great yet (still learning) plus I can’t post animations.
