No.

For tanking, you need to be able to heal, raise your defences or just one defence, a means of incapactitating the opponent/opponents, and perhaps an attack of some sort.

Snorlax wise, Curse, Rest, Yawn, Return would work out okay but....

You could go Curselax, who tanks aswell, Curse/Shadow Ball/Return/Rest :P

It's mad as.

the new standard is:

~Curse
~EQ <-- For Jirachi and Rocks and Steels
~Return
~Rest

Sure Gengar and Misdreavus beat you but, its better than all steel and all rock pokes beating you

Of corse a lot of people use Gengar, so you could drop return for Shadow Ball. He will lose attack power, Return:102 power>Shadow Ball:80 power, but then you can take out both of the major threats to him.

Husk, that's not the new standard it's just an alternative.

Assman and I came up with that set months ago :P, on a team we made together which has never to this day been beaten.

We didn't come up with Curselax, we came up with the idea of getting rid of Shadow Ball in order to cover more pokemon with Earthquake.

Like husk said, Curselax with quake ;)

Gengar can still kill it. So I say get rid of Return for EQ, even though it's weaker. Return doesn't cover anything, and is only two points more powerful than EQ, so you can kill Rocks/Stels, and Ghosts.:D

Actually Return gets STAB and is like 51 points more stronger that way.

I prefer Return on Lax, as it gets STAB, and just plain busts things up, we know that EQ + Return loses to Gengar but you use one of the other 5 pokemon on the team to cover that.

Like Alakazam.

Forgot about STAB. It makes it 53 points stronger.

Then Boah owns you with Crunch.
:P

EQLax VS Boah = Lax wins.

Quake, Quake...

Boah can't FP because Quake breaks it's Sub, and Boah's Crunch won't do much to Lax..

Skarmory, Dugtrio, Snorlax, Suicune, Weezing, and Starmie.

It has a 3x Electric weakness, but no-one has beaten it still :D

If Curelax is at 6+ Atk and Def, it prob wont matter if some ugly Jirachidiot is out. Body Slam over Return, slowing it down so you can possibly stop it from stalling. And Shadowball does normal damage to Rock.

HP + Sp.Def EV's or HP + Atk + Sp.Def
Curse
Body Slam
Shadowball
Rest

I think he meant Tyranitar when he said Rock (Because of the Dark typing).

Some people like the Parahax, but I still prefer Return. Or Frustration.
