Announcement 3⃣ What if you could continue training your Pokémon...even in your sleep? In 2016, Pokémon GO turned the simple act of walking into entertainment, making the entire world into a game. We’re about to do it again, Trainers—this time, for sleeping. — Pokémon (@Pokemon) May 29, 2019

To commemorate the event and to increase the product anticipation hype, Snorlax will be caught sleeping in Pokémon GO starting today and will run until June 3, 2019. Users can capture the rate Snorlax, and once caught, it will "wake up" and can be used in battles and defenses of your Gymnasiums normally.
A special difference is that the sleeping Snorlax captured during the event will know a single movement, the exclusive attack Yawn. That is, even though the player already has a Snorlax in his Pokemon database, the sleeping Snorlax will be differentiated.
