Indeed during my Leaf Green Scramble many months ago I caught and used Snorlax in Erika's gym, where he had little trouble against the mainly special attackers there.

Actually, here's a quote from the update where I got Bob in that scramble and used him in Erika's gym (not against her himself, I DID have a Charmeleon):



Note that Rest is actually a cost effective healing tool in-game thanks to the Pokeflute.

Also note that Bob (Gen1OU was his name in-game, I just thought it was dumb so I called him Bob in my updates >:D) ended up being my MVP for that challange, above my Charizard. So yeah, agreeing with Top for Snorlax.

Lol fighting Erika with Level 50s because you wait until Victory Road.
