Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 180 HP / 148 Def / 136 SpD / 44 Spe OR 192 HP / 216 Def / 56 SpD / 44 Spe
Careful Nature

- Body Slam / Return
- Earthquake
- Rest
Snorlax is a rlly cool+versatile 'mon in this meta; the listed set takes less that 50% from Corkscrew crash (assuming Lefties spread), obviously takes fuck all from anything else Tran can throw at it, and either KOs back with Earthquake or just sets up Curses+Rests in its fucking face. Blacephalon does even bigger degree of fuck-all to Lax, especially if it opts to run Groundium Z to hit more mixed defensive Pex variants for big money as that also allows Lax to dodge Trick easily.
The listed EVs only happen to take less than 50% from Corkscrew Crash btw; the defensive benchmark they aim to hit is avoiding the 2HKO from CB Tyranitar SEdge after 1 Curse, outrunning Pex, and maximising overall special bulk from there (done using the closest estimate I could reach using this tool). A more offensive variant with Normalium Z and Double Edge can also be used, just make sure that you run enough special bulk on that to take SR+Magma Storm+2 rounds of Magma Storm chip+Corkscrew Crash from Heatran when you're figuring out how to distribute the EVs that aren't going into Atk or Spe.
