Much like its pre-evolution, Snorlax can do well in PvP thanks to its excellent bulk, single vulnerability, and frequent spam of mostly neutral damage. Hyper Beam, if it hits, maims most attackers, but is very telegraphed and thus easy to dodge. Return is one of the hardest moves to dodge in the game, but its lower power makes it less effective on defense. Outrage can be very nice as dragons are very common gym attackers, but it's not hard to dodge.Įarthquake is usable thanks to its wide coverage, but is too expensive, easy to dodge, and doesn't have a huge damage benefit over other option. Superpower is easier to dodge, but its wide coverage can be very useful. Heavy Slam can have the tricky properties of Body Slam while dealing effective damage to Tyranitar that are commonly used to attack Snorlax. Zen Headbutt has far better defensive DPS than Lick, and it hurts Fighting-types seeking to prey on Snorlax.īody Slam is tricky to dodge, as it comes with little warning and can happen in quick succession.

They also don't offer Super Effective damage against any type.

Skull Bash is inferior to Hyper Beam, Body Slam is a step further down, and Return is as well.Lick and Hyper Beam provide maximum neutral damage together.Outrage, Super Power, Earthquake, and Heavy Slam can be used to make Snorlax into a budget attacker with any of their respective types, though Snorlax isn't great in these roles.In general, Lick is superior to Zen Headbutt when strengths/resistances aren't an issue.
