Hello one and all. Snorlax is one of my favorite Pokemon. I may not talk alot about him (We will say "Him" because they are mostly male; meh) or really show it, but he is. And right now, I'm trying to get a Shiny version of him.
I haven't trained a Snorlax since the R/B/Y. My usual team doesn't have room for a Normal type Pokemon... but in order to be great, you have to make exceptions.
Well, I'm past that. I'm pulling an Ash Ketchum. I'm creating a huge team of Pokemon. Or have. I have all my Sapphire Pokemon, and all my good Pokemon that I trust and know their capabilities on my main game, Pokemon FireRed. But I don't want to get off-topic. I'm using LeafGreen to try and dig up a Shiny Snorlax out of the sand. And I know I will, eventually.
But once I do, what will I do with it? It's been a while since I've actually trained Pokemon. But I'm definately a veteran; I've been here since the beginning when the show first started playing over here in the US.
So, what are some really good movesets for Snorlax? Another reason he's one of my favorites is that he can learn so many moves, therefore, there are so many possibilities. So I expect to get alot of feedback. :|
Alot of things come into play in these newer generations... Now there's Natures, new Held Items, combos, moves, strategies... and EV training. My first EV trained Pokemon was my Shiny Ninetails that I caught as a Shiny Vulpix on LeafGreen a while back. So, I know what EV training and stuff is. And I'll be doing the Snorlax the same way, but I'd like some suggestions on that, which depends on the Nature, and then all that leads up to moves. So... I don't have it yet, so I don't know what kind of Nature it will be. But I'd like to see what is on peoples' minds. :)
So, please, give me your suggestions. Shiny Snorlax happens to be blue. My own thinkings was..
I might pair it up with my Ninetails in a Double Battle. The Ninetails' moveset is Flamethrower, Will-O-Wisp, Confuse Ray, Return. I do NOT want moveset suggestions for this pokemon!!!!
It has 100 EVs in Attack, 255 in Special Attack, and the rest in Speed. My main strategy is get in the first attack with Confuse Ray or Flamethrower, then, if I want, mess with the human opponents' mind with Will-O-Wisp, and then toast it ASAP. It won't last long with low Defense. But it's mostly for show anyway.
Snorlax won't be that kind of Pokemon. He is known for being a real pain in the rear sometimes.
Moves I have in mind (in no particular order, and there's more than 4.) are Yawn, Earthquake (although it would kill Ninetails, it would be massive with Snorlax's Attack), Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Flamethrower... There's alot to think about. Since Ninetails is my Special hitter, I was leaning more toward Physical Attacks with Snorlax, to execute it's higher Attack power than Sp. Attack, however... you can't diss those Special Attacks that are in it's movepool. And then there's the Rest combos.... Wow. I'm old school though. Diverse attacks. I heard someone say that too. But not here. At NSider. Anyhoo, please give my Snorlax Movesets! :D
