How good/bad is the Lick/Body Slam on a Snorlax? why? is it worth powering up a lvl 20 86 IV Snorlax with that moveset ? And is now with the update the body slam with 3 bars better than the old 2 bar one ?

With the update, body slam got better but lick got worse. Unfortunately, it seems lick nerf greatly outweighs BS boost. I hatched a 90+ L/BS snorlax and I don't plan to power it up.

but it's not a big difference between lick with 5.00 DPS and zen headbutt with 7.74 DPS

That's dps calculated for offense given the attacker is spamming. The gym's AI makes it so the defender attacks on a set timer. Zen Headbutt deals more damage per use, so on defense it'll end up being more effective

Even as a three bar move now, bodyslam is still stronger than when it was a two bar move.

However, lick is very weak right now;
unless if the quick attack mechanics change, I wouldn't suggest powering up a snorlax with lick ATM. (I have the same one and I am just keeping him in the storage right now!)

I hatched a 90% lick body slam snorlax during the Valentine's event and spent all of my snorlax candy powering it up all the way to lvl 35.5. I wish I could lie to you and say it would be worth it but it's not. Save your candy. It would be a heck of a defender but there is better movesets. I don't think body slam outweighs just how truly awful lick is now.
