Can we please stop calling Snorlax "the best pokemon" in GSC?
Yes, it shapes the metagame but that's why it's not "the best": everyone is prepared to deal with him. When at least half of a team is made of things that can check a pokemon, you can call it the "best".
Snorlax has only 4 moveslots, like every pokemon, so it can't deal with all its checks at the same time.
