Snorlax Lick/BS as a defender?
I never faced a legacy Lick/BS in gyms. Someone have experienced this to tell me if they spam 4 BS in a row too?.
I have a L/BS 2810CP which is one of my best attackers but would like to know if BS Snorlaxes even with Lick as a quick move are high level defenders too (maybe better than ZH/HS).

I have this moveset on a 3131 CP Snorlax with 89%IV and he does pretty well, he is the mon that have most win fights of all my defenders (currently at 5). I know it is not the best indicator of how good is the performance of a mon on defense but it makes me think that he is a pretty good defender, lick is not the optimal quick move but it charges energy fast and makes the Snorlax spam a lot of BS, so if I was you I would use him as a defender for sure, tier1 defenders are very hard to get and power up, so why use him on offense when you will have other faster mon to do that task?
With the new mechanics, Snorlaxes spam BS 3~4 times in sequence, if you dont dodge one of them it will hurt more than a single HB dodged (considering the same level and ivs). A Snorlax will nevel use more than one HB in sequence and its one of the easiest Charge Move to dodge in the game: the yellow flash appears 3.3s after the text and the 3.8s cooldown allows you to hit him 2 or 3 times after dodge.
Actually in my own concept (DEFENSE):
ZH or L/BS: A;
ZH/HS: B;
ZH/HB: B;
L/HS: B;
ZH/EQ: C;
L/HB: D;
L/EQ: E.
*Heavy Slam's lack of STAB can be balanced with the 2 bars spamming 2 in a row and the difficult to dodge: the yellow flash appears only 1,5s after the text (Body Slam is 1,2s).
