Snorlax

Yes. He is worthy. Congrats, I hope you catch a crappy one to use as a buddy too.

He is an excellent attacker with that moveset, but I would personally still use him as a defender unless you are lacking in the attacker department, but that is just personal preference:)

Don't be deterred by the "c" rating in defense, when powered up those body slams will rack up the damage despite the lick quick move.

Then again many people love their offensive snorlax, it's up to you! You have a very versatile moveset.

80% Snorlax with that moveset is definitely worthy to power up now. Snorlax is still rare with high IV and good moveset (i.e. no earthquake). I say power him up and starting enjoying his use now. You never know when you are going to get a better one with higher IV and right moveset.

I've now caught 7 wild Snorlax (including 3 last week, never hatched one).

My second most recent is usable, as in 2000+ CP, 50%+ IV, and ZH/BS moveset. Even then it's only 67% IV (10/10/10) - yours is significantly higher. For the others, three were too low CP to even check (42, 131, 652), one was 91% with Lick/BS but only 1900 stardust to power up (still have it, but it will cost way too many candies), one was 18XX with 44% and EQ, and one was 20XX with ZH/BS but only 22%.

I consider myself lucky with the good catches to be honest, and that's with 7 caught Snorlax. Now you're saying you haven't caught ANY. How long will it take to get 1? Let's say tomorrow, so you average 1 per 5 months? My 6th was the first I could consider powering, so that's putting you at another 2.5 years to get a good Snorlax with my results. Obviously it doesn't work that way - could be tomorrow or could be never. Just saying - waiting is a bad strategy.

To me, there's an easy choice. Walk it until you have enough candies to power it to the max your trainer level allows. Caught another one before that? Then reconsider and pick the best one. Not? Then power it. If you catch/hatch a better one be happy to have two good Snorlax to use, and you just have to start walking that one as well.

Extra stamina for snorlax isnt that relevant, so i would be very happy with 10 attack and 15 def with that move set for attacking, also using mine for defending and seems to be doing good job.

80% IVs its pretty good man, wtf. I have caught one 82.2% IVs in the wild with the same moveset as urs and i will power him up when i have candies enough. I only hatched one Snorlax in the game (~600 eggs hatched) and got VERY VERY lucky, he comes with ZH/BS and 93.3% IVs but ur are a very good one too.

It's a very good moveset for attack but more than good enough for him to be a very solid defender. I've hatched one Snorlax and never seen a wild one. I'd be ecstatic If I had a second as good as yours.

Just one more thing: here in my town Snorlaxes spawns almost every day (small city, other players found and advice in whatsapp), and trust me, the best IVs i caught in the wild was 82.2% after 10 caughts or more (i am level 32 and still).

Just transfer him. Wait to catch a level 30 in the wild with 90%+ IV and good moveset...

Oy vey!

I have two dragonite here one is 96% and the other 89% both with 15 atk. The difference is 7% and 22 cp. That means a 82% would be only 44 cp off from a 96% and remember this is the largest mon in the game and the CP difference is the same at level 40 as it is at level 20.
80% is good to go especially since you have the 2nd best def and best offensive moveset. Power that bad boy and don't look back it will serve you well.

Sorry only one pic attached

Got exactly the same (just 2% higher) as first Snorlax after waiting for months for one. I was so pleased I started powering him up straight away. He is now 2971 and is always put to good use in defense as well as attack. So I would say yes power him up and enjoy! He is still my best Pokemon.

people on this site are delusional. first off how is that a bad IV? maybe under 50% is a bad IV for such a rare pokemon but even so...you need to put things in perspective for a minute. do you even understand how IV works and how it affects things? ANY SNORLAX IS A GOOD SNORLAX. period. bodyslam is the best defensive move to have. beam is so easy to dodge - if you get hit by it you deserve the damage...you get at least 4 seconds. IVs really just do not matter as much as you think. im level 32- not exactly new to the game. and ill tell you this. i have a dragonite with 93% IV, i have another with 74% IV, they are both over 3000 I can hardly notice a difference when attacking. on defense the most overlooked thing in the game is just having a defender with a high CP. Im in an area with gyms that are level 8-10 and if youre guy isnt over 2800-2900 you are getting a bottom 4 spot. those are the most likely to drop if the gym gets attacked and if it stays strong (doesnt fully drop)- then the guys at the top keep holding. you want to be able to throw your pokemon at the top slot. snorlax is one of only 5 pokemon that can break 3000 the CP shoots up each powerup. 80% IV means your snorlax by level30 will be around 2815 vs a 100% which would give you 2875. is that 60cp diff really a big deal? the chances of a 100% snorlax and also a great moveset...i dont even know the odds but they are bad. why not be happy that you finally got a good defender. Ill also tell you this - first off dont attack with snorlax he isnt an attacker will drain your potions and you can find way better guys to attack with so hes a defensive pokemon - if you have a 2800 snorlax and that gym is going down...it doesnt matter what moveset or IV your snorlax has. if somebody is attacking your gym (say its level7) and can beat your 2800 80% snorlax. i am sure theyd still be able to beat the same gym if your snorlax was 100%...a lot of posts ive been reading are annoying me...people are clueless when it comes to IVs and their significance. if you have 25 snorlaxes and cant decide which one to powerup then we can revisit IVs and movesets lol..for now powerup the guy and start walking him
