    For my Diamond Team I plan on using a Curselax. However, I'm having trouble deciding it's final move. The first two are obviously curse and rest.
    For one of the remaining slots I was planning on giving it Return since Snorlax gets STAB for it and it's a powerful move. That leaves just one opening and I can't decide whether I should give it Crunch or Earthquake. What do you guys think? Do people use Ghost or Rock types to counter Snorlax more often?
     
    There aren't that many great ghost pokemon out there but I would watch out for Rock types by putting in Focus Punch and holding a Power Herb so it doesn't have to take that extra turn waiting.
     
    Focus Punch is doomed to fail unless someone is setting up against Snorlax (using SD or something)

    I would go Earthquake, as it dishes out more power.
     
    earthquake is great if your team has trouble against tyranitar, metagross, and the like. otherwise crunch is better because at least you hit everything. you can put a dent in tyranitar and metagross with return if you have 2 curses set up.

    Overall i don't think curselax is as good as it used to be in 3rd gen. A lot of people know how to beat it with certain setups, not to mention moves like aura sphere, focus blast, close combat at your opponent's disposal.
