Is Steelix and Snorlax any good anymore?

[kyodon]

Well Since Steelix lose Explosion and Snorlax Shadow ball are they any good as walls?

 

[kyodon]

can someone move close this I meant to put it in the Simple Q&A thread.

Why does Steelix lose its Explosion?
Snorlax has Crunch now instead of Shadow Ball, which is slightly better than Shadow Ball was, because of the Def Drop Chance

 

[Akayfortyseven]

Lax gained crunch but is 2hkod by more now, steelix can be bred explosion iirc, and its 4x resistant to stealth rock and crunch, so its got better imo.

 

[latinoheat]

I think both are still fairly decent but are overshadowed by better pokemon of similar nature.Rhyperior in Steelix case and Blissey in Snorlax's case.

 

[kyodon]

but everyones using blissey?

 

[alamaster]

A lot of people will be using Blissey because it is pretty much the only special wall that can take hits from special sweepers with Scheme or Choice Glasses.

 

[Deck Knight]

Snorlax got Crunch to replace Shadow Ball. They are, for all intents and purposes, the same attack. (Except now that Crunch lowers Defense, it works better with Lax.)

Steelix gets Explosion from breeding OR TM64.

Seriously, research people. One liner posts that show no understanding of game material are not good.

Well I did want to post it in the Simple question thread.
