Comments

Wow, can't believe we didn't already have this question.

---

I thought everybody already knew my Snorlax moveset. Apparently not.

---

Snorlax (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 196 HP / 136 Def / 176 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Curse
- Body Slam
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch

---

.............It makes absolutely no sense how It can learn Selfdestruct but not Explosion! Who agrees with me?

Answer 1

Double-Edge
Rest
Sleep Talk
Crunch

Use Double-Edge to do massive damage, then heal it off with Rest, using Sleep Talk to still attack. Crunch is there to take down Ghost types.

If this is for Gen 5, Heavy Bomber might make a good replacement for Crunch, seeing how heavy Snorlax is. I wouldn't reccomend it though.

Belly Drum is another option, with the classic Belly Drum-Rest-Chesto Berry combo. Then you would have to replace Double-Edge with Body Slam though. I like the Restalk strategy better, as if you lose that Chesto Berry, you are pretty much in for some trouble.

Comments

Actually the damage he'll take from the recoil wont do nothing because of massive HP stat!

---

im pretty sure NJ isight

---

Don't forget that body slam has a good chance for paralysis, which would be good given Snorlax's speed.

Answer 2

Weird set
Item: Choice-specs
Ability: Thick-fat
Nature: Modest/Quiet
EVs: 252 S.Attack, 200 Defense, 58 Hp

---

Ice-beam/Blizzard
Flamethrower/Fire-blast
Thunderbolt/Thunder
Psychic/Shadow-ball

---

Definitely weird to give Snorlax a Choice specs set, but it can hit pretty hard with about 375 S.Attack (including specs boost). Ice-beam/Blizzard for coverage, accuracy or power. Flamethrower/Fire-blast is coverage, acc or power. Thunderbolt/Thunder more coverage! Psychic/Shadow-ball yup coverage though I prefer Psychic for Fighting types.

Comments

For those who are wondering the picture is of Weird Al from his Music video "Fat".

---

I upvoted this because it unusual set and decent spatk
But mainly because that used to be my fav song a few years ago. ;)

Thanks :) yeah it is a funny vid.

Answer 3

Gen V

Snorlax (M) @ Chesto Berry

Trait: Thick Fat

EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Curse
• Crunch
• Rest
• Double-Edge

A classic set. Set up Curse a whole ton, which makes up for the lower Defense stat, while also giving it nice Attack. Then Rest off your damage, now it'll be harder to get damaged since you've Cursed up. Chesto Berry heals you right away. Double-Edge is high powered STAB, and you can always heal off the damage with Rest. Crunch is there to hit Ghost types. Thick Fat is the most useful ability, as it provides protection against Fire and Ice. Immunity isn't so useful seeing as you can remove Poison anyways with Rest. EVs give you a nice attack, while also making you hard to deal damage to, especially after you've raised your defense with Curse.

Answer 4

Rest
Recycle
Toxic
Crunch

item:chestro berry

with immunity ability

Answer 5

Gen V Set for Munchlax

Munchlax (M) @ Eviolite

Trait: Thick Fat

EVs: 124 HP / 136 Def / 248 SDef

Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)

• Toxic
• Curse
• Return
• Fire Punch/Earthquake

Toxic poisons the foe. Curse up like Snorlax, and you are even more of a defensive force, and can now attack. Return provides STAb, while Fire Punch is used to take down the Steel types who are immune to Toxic and resist Return. Earthquake hits these Steel types with more power, while also hitting Poison types for super-effective damage. However, running Earthquake over Fire Punch will leave you completely unable to do anything against Gengar. Also, Earthquake will leave you doing minimal damage against the likes of Skarmory and Bronzong, as well as Air Ballooners, while all you have to worry about with Fire Punch is Heatran,who is also running Air Balloon most of the time. However, if you feel like taking risks and doing more damage, you can use Earthquake, but I consider Fire Punch the attack best used so you aren't completely walled by a larger number of Pokemon. Thick Fat is once again the most useful ability, and the EVs give you max dfensive powers.

Comments

Hey Trachy, I know you said to only comment if I REALLY thought something was a better idea.

But why not use Earthquake over Fire punch?

For a more powerful counter to Rock and Steel which both resist return, And its super affective Agaisn't Both types that resist Toxic.

---

A valid point, and one I should have addressed in my explanation. The answer is mainly Gengar, but is also Pokemon like Skarmory, Bronzong, and Air Ballooners. A good point though, and I will make Earthquake an option if you feel risky.

Answer 6

Trachy's suggestion is good, but I prefer giga-impact over double-edge. Noboby really expects any pokemon to ram them with giga-impact while sleeping, and it can easily knock any low defense pokemon (like mosty pesky fighting types) out of the park!

Comments

Double-Edge has only 30 less power than Giga Impact, and has higher accuracy. Also, Giga Impact still makes you have to recharge, leaving you vulnerable.

Answer 7

I have a Moveset I want to share:

Body Slam/Return-STAB
Earthquake-Coverage
Crunch/Heavy Slam-Coverage but Heavy Slam is more effective
Selfdestruct-Massive STAB(to use at low HP)

Item-Choice Band
Ability-Thick Fat

Curse for Setting up.

Answer 10

Double/Triple Battle

Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Rock Slide

What the hell. It gets STAB. So I might as well use SD. Rock Slide and Earthquake hit multiple foes. Crunch takes down Ghost types.

Answer 11

Snorlax @ Leftover

Zen Headbutt
Selfdestruct
Ice Punch
Fire Punch

Comments

one HUGE flaw: Snore is a SPECIAL move.

---

Oh ok sorry D=

---

Man, was i an idiot :/ thought snore was a physical.

---

i do like the idea though. Very creative.

Thanks

Answer 12

Snorlax may be one of my favorites because he takes forever to knock out, and he's very unique. However I run into a lot of trouble when I come across a Steel or Rock type if my Snorlax has the popular moveset

• Double-Edge or Giga-Impact
• Crunch
• Rest
• Sleep Talk

My LV55 Snorlax got destoryed by a LV40 Aron who knew Mupslap and Iron Defense. From there I decided that a more well-rounded option for making a powerful Snorlax would be

• Double-Edge, Body-Slam, or Giga-Impact
• Crunch
• Superpower, Counter, or Brick Break
• Rest

This way Snorlax maintains part of his Sleeping Pokemon personality and is effective against Ghost, Steel, and Rock types.

Snorlax must have Leftovers as well.

Answer 13

This is my trolled wall andxsweep set for snorlax:
252 Def /128 SpDef /128 HP /chesto berry / impish or jolly nature
-Rest
-Recycle
-Belly Drum
-Superpower /Return /zen-headbutt/crunch /

Rest plus recycling your chesto berry makes snorlax VERY annoying. It also makes bellydrum less hampering to snorlax. With maxed out attack, Snorlax can use STAB return or coverage moves. Super power is great but might require another belly drum to sweep. Zenheadbutt makes Machamp no more and crunch obliterates gengar.

Hope this helps!!!

Answer 15

Never used this combo, but I figured I'd see what other people thought of it.

I call it the "Pseudo Dragon Snorlax."

Snorlax
Ability: Thick Fat
Item: Zoom Lens (If you use Curse)/Lum Berry (Another good choice)
Curse (Raise Atk/Def, lower Spd)/Belly Drum (Raise that Atk!!!)
Rest (Sleep it off, you'll be fine)
Outrage (All hell breaks loose)
Amnesia (For extra Sp Def)/Fire Punch (For pesky Steel types)/Recycle (Yay Lum Berry)
