Who knew in Pokemon Sword and Shield that Snorlax is a flying type. In a funny glitch, the massive and sleepy Pokemon can be seen flying over the Galar region in Sword and Shield.

While most Pokemon players don't get to experience glitches as often as some other fan bases, they do seem to get some of the funniest ones. There was the glitch in Sword and Shield that allowed bicycles to fly last year, and that hilarious Pokemon GO glitch that made Buddy Naruto run in the game. And this newest glitch found in Sword and Shield is just as humorous; it sent Snorlax hurling into the sky.

In a mod that randomizes the Pokemon from Sword and Shield, a Twitter user saw a huge, sleepy Snorlax snoozing on his spinning trip through the air in place of the original Eldegoss. Thankfully, this Twitter user also got a clip of the Pokemon floating around like it was made of clouds.

The user had a follow up clip as well, for users wanting to know the fate of the floating Snorlax:

The user went on to comment in the resulting Twitter thread that, “It’s because of a randomizer hack called Rainbow Shield! Every Pokémon in the world is randomized, so I’ve seen a lot of really funny things in the sky that don’t usually belong there."

This is certainly up there with some of the weirdest Pokemon glitches ever found in the game, with or without mods. The fact that a randomizer could change out something like a Snorlax for a dainty, flying Pokemon in that situation is weird enough to tickle any Pokemon fan's funnybone. When the randomizer promised that it would randomize all the Pokemon in the game, it was not kidding.

Although any non-flying Pokemon in place of the original Eldegoss would have been humorous, the fact that players finally got to see what Snorlax would look like as a flying type is an extra layer of levity. Twitter users replied that Snorlax had to go that his "planet needed him," in reference to the Simpsons clip meme. One Twitter user, called Vis, also replied with this funny addition: "I can't believe no one's put the team rocket is blasting off again audio over this yet."

Snorlax is a popular Pokemon for a reason; its lazy, sleepy demeanor feels extremely relatable. Also, the round Pokemon makes for a fantastic giant Snorlax stuffed animal plushie. It's good to see one of the fan-favorite Pokemon reaching for the sky.

Pokemon Sword and Shield are available for Nintendo Switch.
