Snorlax Power Up Question

I'd go with the ZH/BS one. Even if IV are lower, they're still pretty decent and the moveset is great. What are the CP of the ZH one?

whats your level? if you reach 38+ you should find 98-100% IV or you can't get cp 3300++ snorlax.

if you let me choose i will power up 93%. why? because battling gym with lick is better than with zen headbutt. eventhough you have earthquake as charge moves, you still get higher cp than the 82%.

Think of it this way - if both of those mons were maxed and put in the same gym, the 82% one would get kicked out first even though its moves are better.

It would depend on what you wanted to use him for. For defense, the ZH/BS one is far better while the L/EQ one is better for offense. Personally, I find Snorlax to be a better defender than attacker, so I am always on the lookout for ZH/BS ones.

Personally, I think CP (and by extension gym position) is something people worry about more than necessary. In my experience (which is to say it may be different where you are), gyms are typically cleared out entirely, not chipped away at over time. That's because gyms are usually attacked by different teams interested in putting their own mons in there and they can't put any in unless they wipe it out.

That said, a gym will occasionally be dropped a little bit by someone's secondary account so they can put one of their own mons in from their primary account, but that is less common. Moreover, even lower-CP, high-level snorlaxes tend to be in the top half of gyms since snorlax's max-CP is greater than anything other than Dragonites and Mewto.

tldr;

If you want a defense snorlax, power up the ZH/BS one. If you want offensive snorlax, power up the L/EQ one.

This is the only one Snorlax moveset I would 'never' power up.
I would rather power up an 82% or even 60% IV.

This all just depends on your area of play...

There is a LOT of CP creep in my area and you see gyms regularly with minimum mons of 2700+ now...and what's nice is there are actually SPOTS in them!

Even that being the case, this makes it so I really have NO mons to even bother prestiging these gyms since there are really only 5 that would work for most folks in the level 30 range. Also, gym swiping is a problem and having it happen to you, it's annoying as crap.

If your area is like mine, and I think as the game continues to go on with MORE gym battlers and LESS gym spots, CP is king and until that changes, I plan to only power up the best IV mons to use as gym defenders...

An attacker won't care that you have ZH/BS or Lick/EQ really.

I attack gyms daily in my route/errands and even if it costs me 1 more potion or revive, I get plenty since I hit 20+ stops a day easy.

Again, this all depends on your area, but 93% is very high and your Snorlax is also decent level.

One thing is you also have to look at the stat distribution since if the other lower IV has max attack and weak stamina, it may even have higher CP at the same level.

That makes it easier to choose. You can also check what the max for the level is and how much it's off...

80% to 90% isn't that big of a difference like a 0% vs 100% Dragonite (like near 400CP there) so with more info, you can make a more informed decision...

63 candies will get you to lvl 27.5 and 2606 cp...i'd wait imo.
