What this card does

The Big Appetite ability lets you draw cards until your hand has six, but then puts Snorlax to sleep.

The Exercise attack costs four Energy cards to deal 80 damage and remove that many damage counters from Snorlax.

Signature ability

Big Appetite

Once during your turn (before your attack), if Snorlax is your Active Pokémon, you may draw cards until you have 6 cards in your hand. If you do, Snorlax is now Asleep. This power can't be used if Snorlax is affected by a Special Condition.

This card helps you find the cards you need by letting you draw up to six in your hand. The downside is that Snorlax will fall asleep after using this ability, which stops it from attacking or retreating until it wakes up.

Attacks

CCCC

You may discard as many Energy cards as you like from your hand. If you do, remove that many damage counters from Snorlax.
