You have a 87.5/12.5 % chance of getting a boy over a girl Snorlax. If you really want a female Snorlax (like I have in Pokemon Moon), you will either have to save before you battle Snorlax or catch a Munchlax until you get a female. If you are just trying to catch one, I would go with the first one you find because in many of the original games you only have one opportunity to get a Snorlax!
