Poké-POWER ⇢ 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.
{C}{C}{C}{C} → Exercise : 80
You may discard as many Energy cards as you like from your hand. If you do, remove that many damage counters from Snorlax.
· Level-Up rule: Put this card onto your Active Snorlax. Snorlax LV.X can use any attack, Poké-Power, or Poké-Body from its previous level.

Like the other Snorlax card, this card was originally printed for a Domino’s Pizza advertisement.
BTW, this set has the most amount of LV. X cards in it.

If you leveled up the original jungle snorlax would it not fall asleep from the effect of the poke-power due to its pokemon power?
007manyo
That would be correct! If you were playing some sort of Unlimited Snorlax deck, the Jungle one or the promo from around Evolutions would be a good base for it.

Actually since that Snorlax has a Pokemon Power instead of a Poke-Power/Poke-Body you can’t actually use it on Snorlax Lv.X. Same goes for Evolutions since that’s an Ability! I’d like to imagine all of these arbitrary name changes for the same attributes were put in place to keep this card from being busted.
Except Claydol is legal in the same format lol
Gaardus
For an extra layer of confusion, Creature issued erratas in Japan for every Pokemon Power to make them Poke -Powers or -Bodies, as appropriate. Wizards of the Coast didn’t, and PUSA/TPCi didn’t bother either.

Crazy! I always played that way as a house rule, never knew it had an official precedent
Miro
Why couldn’t you use a Pokemon with a Pokemon Power to level up into a LvX? Was that a rule?
tfw
its not that you couldn’t level up a pokemon with a pokemon power into a lv.x, it’s that a lv.x cannot use a pokemon power of its base stage. it can only use poke-powers, poke-bodies, and attacks. if you leveled up from a snorlax with an ability, snorlax lv.x would not be able to use that ability because an ability is not a poke-power, poke-body, or attack

I’m not certain that that’s true. The text doesn’t explicitly call out held items, but per this ruling, they can nonetheless access held items of the base card:
https://compendium.pokegym.net/compendium-lvx.html#c7
Which implies any element present on the base card that doesn’t get “overwritten” by the lv. X’s attributes remains in effect.
It’s WotC era and represents some fundamental misunderstandings of how the game was supposed to work, but this page also includes a variant on the above ruling mentioned by Gaardus, in that references to “Poké Powers and Poké Bodies” (i.e. inclusive of both) also affect Pokémon Powers. So whether one follows Japanese rulings or older WotC rulings, Pokémon Powers would still be accessible by lv. X cards.

This Ability reminds me of TEU Jirachi!
