In addition to this, Snorlax could use Surf, take hits, and use Counter better than Kangaskhan, effectively stealing any niche it could hope to have. Kangaskhan was entirely classed by Snorlax and especially Tauros, but it was still decent.
I'll just say it: Snorlax is the best Gigantamax Pokémon of the bunch. In Pokémon Sword and Shield, Pokémon have the ability to transform into massive versions of themselves, called Dynamax and Gigantamax. Dynamax Pokémon are just really, really big, but Gigantamax Pokémon are big and change form.
As already mentioned, Blissey has a little more HP than Chansey. This means she has an extra 10 HP to help her with her first attack and also means that any recovery that leaves her with over 704 HP isn't lost until she has 714 HP.
At least, not Happiny. You know what Happiny is good for? Absolutely nothing, because practically everything about Happiny is nothing more than downright terrible. Its stats are absolutely booty; it is even tied with Chansey for the lowest base attack and defense of all Pokémon, both at 5.
Here's why Blissey is so good: it has a hell of a lot of health. Blissey also has an incredible stamina stat, and high CP potential. Together, these attributes put Blissey in the top tier of Pokémon Go's gym metagame, with some debating if it's not outright broken.
Here's why Blissey is so good: it has a hell of a lot of health. Really, it's classic Blissey—in the main Pokémon games, Blissey is often used as a tank who can soak up damage. It's the same case here: Blissey can be stationed at a gym, and the timer is more likely to run out before your enemy can knock it down.
Kanga is just a lesser Tauros, the only thing that Kangaskhan has more of is HP. The greatest advantage of using Kangaskhan over Tauros is surprise. Kangaskhan can learn nearly every move that Tauros can. So I say Yes, Kangaskhan is worth using if you want to use a Normal type and not use Snorlax or Tauros.
Chansey is a boss at leveling up gyms
Because of her ability to outlast and defeat opponents that are a much higher CP than she is, the rewards that she gains when fighting Pokemon in gyms are much higher than average.Yes, as Body Slam is no longer legacy on Snorlax. Just be warned that Snorlax now has 7 possible charge moves, so you could potentially burn through a significant chunk of TMs to try and get it. Yawn is the legacy (fast) move. You can TM Body Slam, and all the other charged moves.
Snorlax stats
It was originally found in the Kanto region (Gen 1). Snorlax is vulnerable to Fighting type moves. Snorlax is boosted by Partly Cloudy weather. Snorlax's best moves are Lick and Hyper Beam (12.17 DPS).Evolution. Snorlax is the evolved form of Munchlax by leveling it up at level 19 with high Happiness.
You're probably wondering if Snorlax with Yawn is any good. Simply said: nope. Yawn does charge your fast move relatively quickly in gym defense, but it doesn't deal any damage, which makes it inferior to any other quick move Snorlax currently has (Lick / Zen Headbutt).
Yawn: All Snorlax caught will have the exclusive fast move Yawn, which deals no damage. Keep in mind you should be able to Fast TM the move to a more useful one in the short term if you don't want to keep the Snorlax for collector purposes.
Snorlax resemble a giant stuffed animal vaguely in the shape of a bear or a cat whose eyes always seem to be closed and head markings that resemble Pac-man. All Snorlax does all day is eat and sleep.
Your best chance at beating a Snorlax is using your strongest Pokemon (with Vaporeon being the easiest one to pick).
- Arcanine – 45.06 seconds. Fire Fang / Fire Blast.
- Machamp – 49.6 seconds. Karate Chop / Cross Chop.
- Vaporeon – 50.2 seconds. Water Gun / Hydro Pump.
The best moveset for Snorlax as a defender is Zen Headbutt and Heavy Slam/Hyper Beam, because Zen Headbutt deals super-effective damage to fighting-types, which are Snorlax's only type weakness.
If you rescue a good Snorlax from Team Rocket, Return is actually its best possible neutral move, sporting higher damage than Hyper Beam and more flexibility than Body Slam. Outrage gives Snorlax a very specific niche as an anchor when fighting dragons, but also lacks STAB.

With tyranitar being a superb counter to the "best" defensive snorlax moveset, heavy slam is a clearly superior defensive move compared to hyperbeam.
Its main strengths are: It has great bulk and massive stamina. Furthermore, its attack stat is not too high but still decent, which is something to consider when facing Snorlax in a gym. It is able to learn Hyper Beam, the strongest Normal charge move in the game.
- If you have a Male Munchlax with Gluttony, you have to breed it with Ditto to get the Hidden Ability. - If you have a Female Munchlax with Gluttony, you have to breed it with a compatible Male partner in order to get the Hidden Ability.
Superpower - It's a powerful Fighting-type attack that charges up quickly but reduces the user's Attack and Defense after being used. Superpower can be learned by Pinsir, Snorlax, Hariyama, Rhyperior, and Melmetal.
Snorlax is a Normal type Pokemon and it's consistently strong defender vs any attacker in the current meta. Normal type Pokemon like Snorlax are weak to only fighting moves. As you are probably aware, there is a lack of good Fighting moves in the current meta.
Snorlax has an amazing HP stat, and very good Special Defense. His Defense is very low though, but that can be remedied by investing fully in Defense, and he will be an amazing tank. Snorlax also has a good Attack stat, which means he is able to deal decent damage as well.

Curse allows Snorlax to set up for a sweep, increasing its Attack and Defense by a stage at the cost of lowering its dismal Speed by a stage.
Superpower does the most damage per energy and it is almost as spamable as Body Slam it also hits steel super effective while ghost is immun to it. For Snorlax it also provides coverage hitting ghost neutral and steel super effective, this turns Snorlax into a anti steel thread.
Snorlax can effectively use Belly Drum at any point in a game—it can come out and boost early on, which forces your opponent to focus on KOing Snorlax while leaving its teammates unchecked.
