Hi folk, Could anyone explain how snorlax is useful except for defending the gyms? I always obsessed with Legendary moves, now it's Body Slam. I already have one Snorlax Lv.29 L/HB. However, there is one Lv.14 L/BS(15/7/15). How useful can Snorlax still be, especially in BS?
**I almost finish powering up Mewto Lineup and I am plaing to Max out those IV100s and Legendary moveset pokemon.
BS is a pain to fight, but it is certainly not stopping anyone, but since no defender will stop people with medium level, no need to obsess about.
I would TM the fast move of your Snorlax and power up. Having two Blisseys and two Snorlax covers a nice bit of a defender team.
Regarding attacking with Snorlax, you can use him as a general attacker or even against psychics with Lick. It's just slow and there's probably a better option always. I would not power him up for attacking.
If player-vs-player holds similar mechanics to the current battle system of dodge-and-swipe, body slam's extremely short cooldown coupled with its minimal energy requirement when paired with lick, a move that rakes in energy quickly, will most likely prove to be a challenge to face, as a player will theoretically be able to fire them out quickly while losing little opportunity to dodge on said player's end.
In terms of usability right now, it's average attack stat leaves it outclassed by other options.
I would still hold onto that Snorlax, and not touch lick ?
Also the word you're looking for is legacy* moves, not legendary moves
