Rate my Snorlax
 
(Special Wall)
Subsitute
Focus Punch
Yawn
Rest

Sub is there to stall and is great with Snorlax's massive HP.
Focus Punch is good when combined with Sub.
Yawn is the tricky part. Using Yawn forces a switch (if it doesn't, then we got a sleeping opponent, which is even better. But they will most likely switch). Because of the switch, Snorlax can safely charge up a punch, destroying the nest Pokemon in.
Rest is there for obvious reasons.

Rate! Is this Snorlax any good?

If I'm facing a snorlax that yawms me, the first thing I think is "focus punch." It's pretty obvious. I ten switch into gengar and set up my McIce Gar on you. howeverm, there is a remedy. Get rid of substitute for crunch or shodw ball (depends on the generation) for gengar and Noir switch-ins. now you're set. Predict the prediction.

Did you even bother reading what I said?

anti-pop hit it right on the spot.... so if you've got any ideas that don't go by the forumla, you've got it.

Anti November 12th, 2007 7:35 PM

also, they might just let you put them to sleep to activate sleep clause.
THEN they switch and you're even more helpless. which makes my startegy worthless, sine they'll realize you have crunch and won't dare send their ghost in. Hehe, Mence with intimidate can surely take a focus punch and then Obliterate ya...Cbmence of course ;)

Yeah, I did, which is why I'm changing it to Crunch, which is why I said OK, which is why you should stop being stubborn all the time.

You realize you're just asking for a flame war calling me stubborn? lol, if you had actually read what I said, I mentioned yawn was fine, you'd just have to alter your moveset. Saying, "aw, I thought yawn was a good idea" makes it seem like you didn't read my post...at all. Not trying to start a flame war, but quite frankly, I am only defending myself for a rather out of line comment :/

In fact, now that I'm in a bad mood at the worst time of night, I'm gonna be VERY honest. If somebody tried that against myself, the thing would be dead, quickly. Yawn! Switch to CBmence. Tank a little damage from focus punch. With only focus punch to attack, I can pull off a 2HKO with Hidden Power Flying (or dragon claw in D/P) and demolish it.

If you switch, I'll make sure I save CBmence so I can cut your attack with intimidate, take lol damage from focus punch, and blast you from the sky. Not only that, but it allows about anything that can outstall you, which with this set is A LOT of things to switch in, power up (Yes, I'm thinking of tauntrados) and then sweep you away.

If THAT doesn't work, and CBmence is destroyed, maybe if I'm out-predicted, I would usually be toast if my only two counters were history. Sadly, with focus punch, You can't hurt even my most frail attackers and I can just keep attacking. when you finally have to rest, I simply switch to my beloved Skarm and set up spikes, them start roaring your team into oblivion and hammering them with spikes damage. Skarm will easily outstall any of your efforts and make a fool of you.

It that doesn't work, hax has made that battle too cheap to be worth anything. and don't even say crunch, CBmence can take one of those with the attack drop (if there isn't one, who would keep it in to begin with?) easily. Gyara takes it even better, and then sweeps you silly of course.

yawn as in yawn combo. mere misunderstanding.

oh, and u'd own me cuz i suck. i understand that. :). but its not my fault that other times, u yell at me for making typos. mmhmm. also, there's only gonna be a flame war if i yell at u again. which i wont.

and for the last section, beating me isnt anything to brag about.

BTW, is yawn for switching or sleeping? well, i guess that yawn makes up for my lack of a hazer.

Well maybe you should be sure it isn't before calling me stubborn. 'k? K.

That was once :/ and I didn't even know it was a typo :/:/:/

I know. I've figured that out, as I'm not as stupid as you'd think I am. My post wasn't talking about beating you personally, but how this snorlax would get owned by anyone that knows how to predict.

yeah, using the word "hen" in a pokemon post totally isnt a typo. :/

Anti November 12th, 2007 8:03 PM

Okay then...but since I've already explained the epic flaw of this snorlax set...and what kind of idot would I be to go after you for a typo when each post I make has at least 5?
