About the Snorlax VMAX card
Numbered 142 of 216 in Sword & Shield, released in February 2020, Snorlax VMAX is a Rare Holo VMAX, a Basic Colorless-type carrying 340 HP.
It evolves from Snorlax V, so Snorlax VMAX is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

What is Snorlax VMAX worth?
Snorlax VMAX is a holo rare, one of the cards that holds Sword & Shield's value. The rarity tier decides most of it, since the same card prints at several tiers with very different prices. In top-grade 1st Edition, Sword & Shield holos range from the mid hundreds for the lesser cards up to the set's marquee chase; raw and Unlimited copies trade for a fraction of that. The live market price above shows the current figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Snorlax VMAX before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Snorlax VMAX lives and dies on its holo surface in grading. The colorless foil catches light at angles that hide hairlines in a flat photo, so tilt it under a lamp, then measure the borders, where modern centering is the second-most-common grade cap.
