Team Built Around Snorlax

[Chaco]

Yeah I want one.

So help me figure it out please. I'm trying to get back into Pokemon. I used to be pretty into it. Hah.

So anyways, I have my EV Trained Curselax. I think his moves are:

Body Slam
Curse
Rest
Sleep Talk

So uhm...yeah.

Build my empire. o_o

The idea is not for people to create a team for you, but rather critique and suggest improvements to the team YOU made.

Replace Sleep Talk with another attacking move like Earthquake and give it a Chesto Berry. Snorlax is almost infinitely bulky, but not infinitely powerful. Niiro knows what I'm talking about.

u should give it recycle instead of sleep talk. And give it a chesto berry. This is really good for people who like to raise their own stats or baton pass it. This might be good if u can set up the curse at least 4 times. It is also better to risk that one turn than rist 2+turns. And after it recycles sleep again =)

 

[Metal~Mario]

You could try putting him into a trick room team, especially if his nature lowers speed. Throw in some TRoomers like bronzong, slowbro, and dusknoir.

Gimmie EVs.

If you must use that set, pair him with a few pursuiters and maybe SpecsMence/Kingdra to bait out Steels

It's just a snorlax. Not much you can do to build around it.

- Crunch / Earthquake
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
Item Attached: Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat

Curselax>>>>any other snorlax variation.

OK Let's pretend that we *have* to use that snorlax set you gave us. Obviously this won't be a regular hyper-offensive team, since we are working with something so bulky and long-lasting. We need to figure out exactly what stops your Snorlax from sweeping and design a "lure" to aid it.

For reference, a "lure" is a pokemon that lures out another ones counters and, potentially, destroys them.

For this particular pokemon, we have trouble with Rocks, Steels, and especially ghosts. Rocks aren't used so commonly other than Aerodactyl(starter) and Tyranitar. Tyranitar can usually be set up on with a correct EV spread(assuming it comes in on a curse), but watch out for Taunt+DD versions or even an opposing curse one.

I suggest using a pokemon that works very well with snorlax, Salamence, since they cover each other's weaknesses somewhat well(snorlax covers Ice and Salamence covers up Fighting). I would reccommend a more BulkyDDMence, possibly physically oriented to take hits with Dragon Claw, Earthquake, Dragon Dance and Roost.

if it wasn't 7:24 in the morning and I needed to get ready for school, I would totally continue. Sorry ._.
