Kanto Classic Snorlax
#1
I know Snorlax is one of the best Pokemon in this format but I cant decide on what moveset/spread to use.

Im actually using this one:

Snorlax
Ability: Thick Fat
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 52 Def / 196 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Return
- Rest
- Heavy Slam
- Crunch

It OHKO Alakazam with Return, but doest OHKO Gengar with Crunch. So, Im not sure if running an Adamant Nature is better, but then Snorlax loses some bulk.
Suggestions?

I too also am using a Snorlax for the Kanto Classics: Here is mine. PS, I got my Snorlax judged by the IV Judge in the Battle Resort, it said that mine is above average.

Here's my Snorlax I'm using:

Snorlax

Nature Jolly

Greatest Stats: Attack

At level 50, Snorlax has nearly 300 hp, which is impressive

Level:66 (Although I know all tournaments are restricted above lv50 are made level 50.

My moveset:

-Shadow Ball

-Crunch

-Blizzard

-Giga Impact

Ability:Immunity

As for my suggestion, if you're gonna use a Snorlax with Rest, I suggest making it have the move Sleep Talk. If your Snorlax's asleep and you use Sleep Talk, it will randomly use a move it knows. However, if it uses Rest, it will fail, even if it lost HP.


Hope I helped! Smile

Snorlax
Ability: Thick Fat
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Body Slam
- Curse/Crunch

This is what I've seen function the best on the Kanto Classic ladder. Curselax is just extremely hard to beat after it sets up to at least +2 as it can freely Body Slam everything for an easy 2HKO-3HKO

@Flapster It is recommended you breed for a Pokemon with good IVs/Nature/Ability/Moves as that's how most people battling competitively have their Pokemon set up. You want to find a good spread to use on your Pokemon instead of using any ole Pokemon you find.

You could say, I'm average at breeding. :P Most of my pokemon for the tournament are bred, except for Snorlax. :P
