L/EQ Snorlax

Hatched a 1902 cp, 91 iv snorlax but it has L/EQ. is it worth powering up or just keep as is? I already have a lvl 30 snorlax with ZH/HB 86 iv.

I wouldn't do it, I've powered up a L/H and Z/EQ to max, even though less than optimal defenders. (I never attack with Snorlax) It's worst case scenario moveset Snorlax, but it's Snorlax.

Everyone's situation is different, if you've got the candies and the dust, and the likelihood of getting another strong Snorlax anytime soon seems nil, why not? I'd of powered up that Snorlax a month ago, before I had a super lucky hatching stretch.

It's defensive DPS is horrible, a Chansey of the same level with Pound and Hyperbeam does more defensive damage per second? Can one of you mathematicians confirm this? Or tell me I'm missing something? Really didn't expect that?

It does have high CP though and will sit atop most gyms if you max it out...

Yeah i only use it as a defender. To attack it's horrible.

Horrible?
Ranked in this site as top attacker of the game as is dragonite...
I have 3 snorlax attks
3043cp lick bodyslam perfect iv
2928 lick hyperbeam around 77 iv
2829 lick hyperbeam around 70 iv
I dont remember losing a lvl10 gym battle using just these 3 fats monsters

If you got 2 or 3 great attacking dragonites your snorlaxes will be better used as defenders especially if it had ZH. Snorlaxes are overrated attackers because they are jack of all trade type master of none due to lack of typing advantage. And it takes too long to defeat a defender.

Sure they get the job done. More so than any other Pokémon if you measure the effectiveness by how much damage can they deal before fainting. But if I compare it to attacking with a Dragonite I will NEVER attack with Snorlax. Simply because it just takes too much time to actually kill anything. On top of that the potion usage is higher on Snorlax.

You got screwed buddy. L/EQ is shit. I got one that's 98% and never use it. Lick is pointless on a snorlax because it's an offensive move and Snorlaxes are defenders. Earthquake out of the charge moves is the worst one. Yeah yeah people say it's hard to dodge. Dodging isn't rocket science. Flash - dogde. Come on. It ain't Call of Duty. Get ZH/BS or ZH/HB.

U are crazy. Lick is pointless? Hahahahhaha
Snorlax dont take too long to kill. U crazy?
Stab hyperbeam.. And u never die. No weakness. I BET u guys dont have a 3000cp+ snorlax like me. And say nonsense things like that.
He is the best attacker and the best defender! Its so obvious! Dragons and othera kill fast but die fast! Cmon its simple maths. People underate snorlax on attack because they just dont have one above 2800 cp to know what im talking about. My army os fats never lost to nothing. Go fight lapras or clefable with dragonite and see what happends...

..... wanna try my level 39.5 100% iv Chansey?
but Lick + Hyperbeam is the highest atker in this game, and defending too, I agree on that.

L/HB is not the best attacking moves. It's good for offense. Also, HB on defense is overrated. I think by now 90% of players know how to dodge HB. Haha

I have a 2900 and a 2800 snorlax and use them as defenders. I have a 3300 and 3200 Dragonites with DB/DC and trust me dude. Dragonites are much better attackers. I use only those two badasses to take down level 10 gyms and on the bench is my 2900 Dragonite DB/DP as back up if needed. Also, a defending Lapras is easy to take down with a Dragonite if you dodge all their moves. That being said, I have no use of snorlaxes for attacking. And if I only use snorlaxes for defenders then I want ZH not Lick. Thus lick on snorlax is pointless to me. Your snorlaxes may be your top attackers but maybe you don't have 3000+ dragonites with DB/DC. I use arcanine, vaporeon or Eggy before I use snorlax for attacking for type advantage. Oh and btw Snorlaxes are not the best gym trainers because they lack type advantage and sometimes have trouble taking down a mon double their CP. But my 1200 1100 and 900 dragonites are beast trainers.
