In the HeartGold version of the Pokémon game, a sleeping Snorlax can be found blocking the player's path. Snorlax is a huge, blue-green Pokémon with a cream-coloured face, belly, and feet. It is known for its ability to attract other Pokémon to sleep around it and its tendency to sleep in areas with bridges, blocking others from crossing. To wake up the Snorlax in HeartGold, players must first save the power plant and then go to the Kanto Radio Tower. Inside, they must talk to everyone on the first floor until they find a man who mentions a Pokéflute. This man will upgrade the player's Pokégear to include a Pokéflute, which can then be used to wake up Snorlax.

What You'll Learn
Upgrade your Pokegear by talking to a man in Lavender Town
To wake up the Snorlax in HeartGold, you will need to upgrade your Pokegear by talking to a man in Lavender Town. The Pokegear is a special item in Heart Gold that allows you to make phone calls, use a map, and more.
To obtain the upgrade, go to the Lavender Town Radio Tower and read all the text. Then, tune your radio to the upper-middle position and listen for the Pokeflute music. Once you have the Pokeflute channel, go to Snorlax and play the music to wake it up.
To do this, open your Pokegear and switch to the radio part. Then, slide the radio channel navigator to the top-middle position. After that, exit your Pokegear and engage with Snorlax by pressing 'A' on your controller. This will initiate a battle, where you can choose to catch or defeat it.
It is important to note that you must first fix the Power Plant to receive the EXPN Card at the Lavender Town Radio Tower. This is required to upgrade your Pokegear and wake up Snorlax.

Save the power plant, then go to the Kanto Radio Tower
To save the power plant, head north and grab the Yellow Apricorn, then enter Lavender Town and use the Center to heal and save. Now, head to the north exit of the town and onto Route 10. Once you reach the power plant, talk to the guard at the stairs to learn about the problem. After speaking with the Manager, you will learn that the thief has been spotted in Cerulean City. Now, head back to the Gym and grab the Key Item: Machine Part from the floats. Return to the power plant and hand over the Machine Part to the Manager, who will reward you with TM57, Charge Beam.
Now, to get to the Kanto Radio Tower, you can fly to Saffron City and talk to the Copycat Girl. She will tell you that she has lost her doll and will offer you a Magnet Train Pass if you find it for her. Fly to Vermilion City and go to the Pokemon Fan Club, where you will find the doll with the man at the table. After getting the doll, you can go to the Kanto Radio Tower. The Kanto Radio Tower was once a cemetery but was converted, with all graves being moved to either the House of Memories or underground. You can enter the tower, but only access the ground floor as the upper floors are off-limits. Talk to the receptionist on the ground floor to receive a Pokégear radio card for Kanto. After restoring power to Kanto, you can receive the EXPN Card from the manager of the tower, allowing Pokégears to tune into the Poké Flute channel, which can be used to wake Snorlax.
