PU Snorlax

[Yunie]

Snorlax @ Leftovers
Ability: Thick Fat
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 12 HP / 244 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Body Slam
- Heat Crash / Crunch
- Rest

After months spent lounging in ZU, the former RBY titan finally wakes up and rolls over PU! The tried-and-true Curselax offers a great special wall to the PU tier, blanking threats such as Rotom-H, Salazzle, and Florges while providing teams with a status absorber, albeit an imperfect one due to Rest not being paired with Sleep Talk. Having at least two attacking moves is crucial here; Body Slam is the preferred STAB move for its ability to spread paralysis, which makes it harder for switch-ins like Rhydon to punish it. Heat Crash is a powerful coverage option that hits Steel-types like Alolan Sandslash and leverages Snorlax's high weight to its advantage, while Crunch hits Ghost-types like Palossand harder. Tera Fairy is Snorlax's best Tera type for walling Pokemon such as Tatsugiri and lets it deal with Fighting-types in a pinch. Snorlax appreciates strong physical walls like Mudsdale and Uxie, as they can cover Fighting-types such as Pawmot and Paldean Tauros-F for it, while Snorlax switches into Ice- and Dark-types like Alolan Ninetales and Choice Specs Zoroark for them. It also appreciates wallbreakers like Tatsugiri and Bruxish to weaken checks for it.

Having at least 2 attacking moves are crucial here; Body Slam is the preferred STAB of choice for its consistency and ability to spread Paralysis (it feels worth emphasizing that this makes lax harder to punish with mons like rhydon that otherwise completely wall you.), Heat Crash is a powerful coverage option that hits Steel-types like Alolan Sandslash and leverages Snorlax's high weight to its advantage, while Crunch is less powerful on average but hits Ghost-types like Palossand harder. Tera Fairy is Snorlax's best Tera type for walling Pokemon such as Tastugiri and lets it deal with Fighting-types in a pinch. Snorlax appreciates strong physical walls like Mudsdale and Uxie, with them being able to cover Fighting-types such as Pawmot and Paldean Tauros-F for Snorlax, while Snorlax switches into Ice- and Dark-types like Alolan Ninetales and Choice Specs Zoroark for them.

since snorlax doesn't do very much early-game, it benefits from having wallbreaking teammates that can weaken teams and set the stage for it to sweep. ik you don't get a lot of characters to work with here, so you don't need to mention too many examples.
