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
Snorlax's incredible bulk paired with solid setup via Curse and recovery in the forms of Recycle + Iapapa Berry and Rest allows it to be a niche setup sweeper in UU. However, Snorlax's extremely lackluster Defense prevents it from sweeping most teams comfortably, as it still gets destroyed by Fighting-type attacks even after boosting once or twice. Taunt users such as Hydreigon beat Snorlax sets with any sort of setup, as without boosts Snorlax has trouble breaking through most Pokemon.
