Its stomach is said to be incomparably strong. Even Muk’s poison is nothing more than a hint of spice on Snorlax’s tongue.

Strategy Overview
- A very low Speed stat combined with great bulk and solid Attack makes Snorlax effective both as a Trick Room attacker and as a check to opposing Trick Room cores.
- Snorlax is one of the biggest beneficiaries of the buff to Figy Berry and its relatives—with Gluttony, Snorlax can recover 50% of its HP whenever it falls below 50% of its total. The combination of a Figy Berry and an enormous HP stat makes Snorlax quite difficult to KO and enables it to safely use boosting moves like Curse and Belly Drum.
- Snorlax's Normal typing offers no useful resistances, but few Pokemon in the VGC 2017 format carry the Fighting-type moves that could exploit its one weakness.
- Base 110 Attack with STAB Return lets Snorlax hit most of the format for solid neutral damage, but it can struggle to break through bulkier foes without boosts from Curse or Belly Drum.
