Strengths and Weaknesses
This table shows the strenths and weaknesses of this Pokemon, numbers less than one means the effect of those types of attacks are reduced by that factor, and numbers greater than one are increased by that factor. So for example, if the number is 2, then this Pokemon will incur about twice the damage as normal, 0.5, only half the normal damage.

	Member: Downington this is an amazing pokemon. it has beastly hp and beter defenses than blissey. it also is much more offensive than blissey with an extremely high atak. the only problem is the speed... and that is where the trickroom comes in. 3 May 09 14:32 0
	Member: Trainer Ace This is the moveset I recommend with Snorlax- Snore / Substitute / Curse (Either force your foe to sleep or play with ur HP) Sleep talk (Just becoz you sleep too much doesn't mean you're lazy!) Rest (Freaks ur enemy out after all they did to lower that behemoth HP!!!!) Ice Punch / Fire Punch / Thunder Punch / Zen Headbutt (General Attack) I recommend putting EVs on Defense, Special Defense and HP. 7 Mar 09 03:12 0
	Member: jamiebolanisrollin fire blast/ flamethrower are useless, if you want a fire type move, go wiht fire punch 26 Jul 08 23:17 0
	Member: stevew83 Leave evolving Munchlax until Lv49 so it learns Last Resort. Item:Leftovers Curse(its slow anyway so why not boost Attack and Defense at same time) Rest(just when you thought you had this behemoth beaten.....back to full HP!) Earthquake(always a useful move in most teams) Last Resort(a STAB boosted attack with plenty of power that doesn't require you to rest the following turn or suffer recoil damage) If you are slightly more attack minded you can sacrifice Rest for another attacking move, my preference being Crunch for the sole purpose of making people think twice about using Gengar against Snorlax. Alternatively you can use Yawn to put your foe to sleep. Hazers can nullify your stat boosts and Gengar w/Focus Blast will give you trouble as will Magnezone w/Magnet Rise. Another slightly surprising set for Snorlax which helps against the above counters is: Item:Chesto Berry Rest Recycle Earthquake Fire Blast/Flamethrower You now no longer have to wait to attack after Resting as Chesto Berry wakes you up straight away. Recycle (learnt as a Munchlax) allows you to do this more than once.With this set you have Fire type moves able to hit the Steel counters you may encounter whilst also being able to hit Gengar. Flamethrower for the accuracy and the extra PP if it becomes a stall contest, Fire Blast for the extra power. Not necessarily a popular alternative to the CurseLax set due to no stat boosting, but it does stop Hazers such as Weezing messing up all your hard Cursing. Opinions on this set would be welcomed. :o) 20 Jun 08 18:32 2
	Member: Destiny Glacia Curselax @Leftovers Thick Fat Careful 168HP/120Def/220SpD Curse Body Slam/Return Rest/Selfdestruct EQ/Crunch/Fire Punch While Curselax has historically been the epitome of power and durability, it has become far less stable in the highly offensive D/P metagame; however, it still poses a significant threat to unprepared individuals. As expected, Curse is the crux of this set; it boosts Snorlax's mediocre Defense and good Attack while dropping its useless Speed, so that Snorlax is reasonably good at taking attacks from both ends of the offensive spectrum, and deal decent damage itself. Whether to use Body Slam or Return for its Normal STAB is sheerly a matter of power or paralysis. Generally, the paralysis is more useful for Snorlax, but if one feels that a bit more power is favorable, Return is available for 20% greater force. One may note that Double-edge is sadly absent from this set; unlike as in previous generations, Snorlax can't afford to squander as much of its HP on recoil damage. The next choice is whether to attempt to remain alive longer with Rest and risk the opponent setting up while Snorlax is asleep, or to shirk longevity and destroy something on the way out with a STAB Selfdestruct. Prior to D/P, Rest was overwhelmingly more useful, but in D/P, Selfdestruct has risen to a level plane with it, as sleeping for two turns is a significantly greater liability, whereas Selfdestruct is the emergency resource so many teams need in order to combat an unexpected reversal. The last move is also quite variable. Earthquake is often the preferred option to hit Tyranitar, Metagross, and others, but leaves Snorlax completely vulnerable to Mismagius, and to some extent, Gengar (note that without Focus Blast or Perish Song, Gengar will be stalled out of PP by Snorlax if the latter has Rest). Crunch hurts the Ghosts at the expense of being futile against the first group. Fire Punch is the compromise option, which deals well with both the Ghosts and Metagross; Tyranitar still switches in with impunity, however. The EVs on this Snorlax are configured for optimal defensive efficiency; while displacing 4 EVs from Special Defense to HP would provide a slight amount more of overall defenses, that course has not been taken because if it were, Snorlax would have 504 HP, which is divisible by 8 and therefore would make it more susceptible to residual damage than if the current 503 HP spread was utilized. This spread focuses primarily on improving its special defensive capabilities, but also maintains a solidity in its physically defensive sector to make switching in and taking attacks after few Curses easier. While investing some EVs into Attack may seem tempting, the fact is that Snorlax simply can't afford to do so in D/P; even with this spread, Snorlax can take up to 54% from a Choice Specs Modest Salamence's Draco Meteor, 60% from a Life Orb Timid Azelf's Nasty Plotted Psychic, and 83% from a Life Orb Modest Porygon-Z's Nasty Plotted Adaptability Tri Attack. Thick Fat is the more useful trait, as Rest will rid Snorlax of any poisoning it suffers, and Thick Fat grants an effective resistance to Ice and Fire, two of the most common special attacks. Additionally, it is pivotal to countering Heatran, especially when Snorlax doesn't have Earthquake to OHKO it, and is an excellent buffer for a predicted switch-in on Weavile's Ice Punch and such. However, if one selects Selfdestruct over Rest, Immunity still has some utility, especially against Toxic Spikes. Whaddaya think? 22 May 08 20:03 0
	Member: the_people_champ If you want to raise a snorlax egg one cause then there will be more moves option and mostly use TM moves for it because they are better. It's stat speak for itself and it's a good wifi pokemon :). 24 Dec 07 07:39 1
	Member: EspeonDude_ Snorlax is the true definition of beast. Outrageous base HP and attack, okay Defense and good Special Defense. Speed is not important on this thing, so why not continue to make that Attack and Defense bigger with Curse? Rest off any damage that's unneeded sound good? I bet it does. Snorlax is used generally for that reason. This is one of the main reasons why Weezing is used, to stop THIS beast. 16 Dec 07 11:53 -3
