PU Snorlax

[NDK]

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 12 HP / 92 Atk / 252 Def / 152 SpD
Careful Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Double-Edge
- Heat Crash
Who is sleeping down in PU? With RestTalk, Snorlax functions as a bulky physical attacker with recovery that can check Mesprit and Frosmoth. Heat Crash is essential, providing valuable coverage against Steel- and Ghost- types such as Bronzong and Decidueye. The listed EV spread maximizes Snorlax's defenses, maximizes Leftovers recovery, and ensures that Snorlax can always survive two Hurricanes from Hisuian Braviary. Tera Poison gives Snorlax a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, which is very useful in matchups against Hariyama, Virizion, and Toxicroak, as well as giving it more favorable matchups against Weezing and Muk. Snorlax has some trouble with physical threats such as Rhydon, Sandslash, and Regirock so teammates that can deal with them such as Sandaconda and Rotom-C are appreciated. Hazard control options such as Sandslash and Scyther can clear Spikes, which can wear Snorlax otherwise. Answers to Fighting-types, such as Hoopa, Bruxish, and Decidueye, are also great partners for Snorlax.

Careful Nature

Who is Sleeping down in PU? With RestTalk, Snorlax functions as a Tank down in PU, checking many special attacking threats such as Mesprit lacking Psyshock as well as Hisuian Braviary and Magmortar (Not rly, its more of a fat physical attacker who can act as a spot check to stuff like Mes and Frosmoth imo). Heat Crash is an essential coverage option, providing valuable damage against Steel- and Ghost-types such as Bronzong and Decidueye. The listed EV Spread listed maximizes Snorlax's defenses, maximizes Leftivers Leftovers recovery, and ensures that Snorlax can always survive two Hurricanes from Hisuian Braviary. Tera Poison gives Snorlax a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, which is very useful in matchups against Scyther Hariyama (adding Hari over Scyth as scyth doesnt run CC all the time), Virizion, and Toxicroak (and gives more favorable matchups against Pokemon like Weezing / Muk / Zong). Snorlax has some trouble with physical threats such as the aforementioned Scyther as well as Lycanroc, (Lycan is a lead most of the time and Scyther doesnt run CC that much, mention something else here.) so teammates that can deal with them such as Sandaconda are apreciated. Skuntank is able to check Hoopa, which is another major problem for Snorlax. In turn, Snorlax is able to deal with the special attackers that threaten them. (You kind of win vs Hoopa lol.... I would maybe mention stuff that beats the Grounds + Regirock since Lax just does not touch them at all. Maybe like Rotom-Mow or something)

implement and ill look over again.

Bella bump in case you want to take another look, or I'll send this to gp

 

[bern]

Bella bump again cuz it's been two weeks since the implementation

 

[Bella]

mention somewhere that resttalk also give Snorlax recovery which is important since it doesnt have any reliable recovery and lets it stay healthy.
say "coverage" over "damage" on the Heat Crash line
mention hazard control options like Sandslash / Scyther / Whatever since lax rly doesnt like Spikes chip
Perhaps mention Fighting-type offense checks like Hoopa / Bruxish / Deci
1/1 once implemented

Implemented! GP Team

Who is Sleeping sleeping down in PU? With RestTalk, Snorlax functions as a Bulky bulky physical attacker with recovery that can check Mesprit and Frosmoth. Heat Crash is essential coverage, providing valuable coverage (consider a rephrase that doesn't use "coverage" twice) against Steel-(AH) and Ghost-(AH)types such as Bronzong and Decidueye. The listed EV Spread listed spread maximizes Snorlax's defenses, maximizes Leftovers recovery, and ensures that Snorlax can always survive two Hurricanes from Hisuian Braviary. Tera Poison gives Snorlax a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, which is very useful in matchups against Hariyama, Virizion, and Toxicroak,(AC) as well as giving it more favorable matchups against Weezing and Muk. Snorlax has some trouble with physical threats such as Rhydon, Sandslash, and Regirock,(AC) so teammates that can deal with them such as Sandaconda and Rotom-C are appreciated. Hazard Control control options such as Sandslash and Scyther can clear spikes Spikes, which can wear Snorlax Down otherwise. Answers to Fighting-(AH)types,(AC) such as Hoopa, Bruxish, and Decidueye,(AC) are also great partners for Snorlax.
