Battling Snorlax - Body Slam

I battled a Snorlax yesterday with body slam and it came out right away with 3 body slams in a row, then more BS after a two quick moves. Kicked my a$$. I battled again and had a similar experience. Before, when battling BS, it would take a while to charge and you would get two in a row once in a while. Now it seems wide open. Anyone else experience the same?

Something is weird when battling gyms. I battled against a Vaporeon who did his hydro pump and I dodged it. Then two attacks later he hydro pumped again! No way his bar filled up again. Seems the gym defenders can cheat.

Positive behind it is I have a BS Snorlax...

Happen to me too or is it just my imagination? probably wasn't 2 attack but it was kinda fast

supposedly the defending mon can store up to 200 energy instead of the usual 100. I assume the AI has been changed to utilize a filled charge to make the game more challenging.

BS is now a 3 bar charge move when it used to be 2. Probably explains your observation.

There is more of a serious issue. A BS Snorlax hit like a brick and now the player and defender AI have the same quick attack speed its balanced.

For instance we use to be able to use a 1 bar charge attack like hyperbeam and have the bar half charged again before the AI single bar charged bar is filled. Now its the same speed to charge the bar.

Yes I just prestiged against one, nightmare, very unpredictable. Waited for one body slam dodged and immediately used wiggly's hydropump. But before that actually took effect another bodyslam and wiggly was a goner. Then the new mon that came in immediately got the third bodyslam. I cannot prestige now against a bodyslam Snorlax with something with half the CP. Found it difficult before but nothing to what it has become now.
Edit: Another Pokemon in the gym (Blastoise) did not use it's charge move at all. Not once, he gave his turn to the Snorlax I think :)
