I think you mean "unfreeze" or "thaw", "unthawing" would be getting frozen again. :P

1/256, I believe. It's an issue with a move's accuracy being expressed as X/256 where X goes from 0 to FF...

What you actually claimed was that Mewtwo doesn't need to be Uber with Wrap legal. The sheer audacity of that statement of theorycraft is mind-boggling.

Nah, you can take it out without Explosion. Slowbro works if it doesn't have Thunderbolt, and Light Screen Chansey can run a freeze-war against it. Starmie can take a swing, too (had a hilarious game...

Mewtwo and Mew are invariant - the big question for Mew is whether it has Explosion (Mew's +2 Explosion OHKOs Mewtwo, but it either gives up coverage or Softboiled to get it). Light Screen/Ice Beam...

By request: Discuss Mewtwo here.

Since a mod seems to agree with me that RBY Mewtwo doesn't belong in a discussion of GSC Snorlax, here's a place for it.

If you're as awesomely awesome as you claim (and, dear god, that was some pretty epic boasting), you shouldn't be asking for help. A little humility goes a long way.

Barrier. Recover.

You yourself said that Mewtwo's counters are all set-dependent - that one is, too.

You forgot freeze. Freeze is actually the reason Chansey's used against it - even Light Screen Chansey can't actually stall Mewtwo out if Mewtwo has Psychic.

I meant in a single switch-in. Machamp doesn't wall Lax, obviously.

All Snorlax are countered by RestTalk Machamp with two significantly dicey exceptions:

2) LK Drumlax hitting LK on the switch and not...

Okay, suppose for a second that Snorlax is deemed to be "overcentralising" the meta. The answer isn't necessarily "ban Snorlax". The question that should really be asked is "which of the following is...

I don't know what Stealth Rock being offensive rather than defensive has to do with GSC Snorlax. But if you're saying that offense only checks offense rather than counters it, then that's kinda...

Well, seeing as the better players all use Snorlax themselves, there isn't really much of a way to tell, is there?

Tauros isn't broken. It's the best at what it does (converting a tempo advantage into a material one) but it has very little defensive utility since it can't explode (unlike Lax), relies on Hyper...

Snorlax does have a couple of bad matchups. Machamp and to a lesser extent Marowak and (particularly Reversal) Heracross do have the raw power to break its face in.

Agreed.

Also, I wouldn't call +1 Psychic's guaranteed 4HKO on Skarmory "pitiful". Not great, but not "pitiful". Considering that Skarmory isn't getting past Espeon's Morning Sun with Drill Peck...

One sleeper is fine if you're not using it as a lead and it has decent accuracy and bulk - ie, Egg.

Using Gengar as a lead, though, is risky because it can be OHKOed on turn 1 by Alakazam or...
