Raid analysis

Snorlax is never used as a raid attacker — pure Normal type means no super-effective hits anywhere. Used in raids only as a tanky 'survive longer' option for Stardust farming. Don't power up for raids.

PvP analysis

Snorlax is S-tier Master League every single season. Lick generates energy fast, Body Slam is cheap-and-decent damage, Earthquake punishes Steel-type counter-picks. The most durable PvP attacker in the game — high HP + tank stats. Wins by attrition. Loses to dedicated Fighting-types (Machamp, Conkeldurr, Lucario).

Best IVs to look for

Master League: 15/15/15 mandatory. Lucky Snorlax is huge — 12/12/12 floor + half Stardust cost means a cheap perfect Master League pivot. PvP-friendly: Lick + Body Slam + Earthquake on a high-stat-product spread.

Fast move data

Lick — 13.3 DPS (Ghost type) damage per second, 4.0 EPT energy per turn.
