Snorlax Powerup Question

Hi guys,

I know we've seen a lot of power up questions, cheers to another. So I've hatched my FIRST snorlax today after hatching 767 eggs.... I also caught ONE in the wild. Which should I power up as a defender or none? (since I rarely see this fat guy around) Also only got 55 candies, dust not a problem (been saving only for 90%+ IV w/ good moves thus far). I have a okay line up of defenders (my fav is 98% IV blissey.. but with P/HB :/) 10 Mons 2.6k+ only 3 mons 3k+ atm.

Trainer Level: 34
CP 1243 - 60% IV ZH/BS
CP 1853 - 76% IV ZH/HB (Just hatched)

Check the max cp of the 76% one, then see how high you can get it with the candies you have.
Are you willing to make it your walking buddy?
if it can live in gyms in your area then you will be making your snorlax very happy.

Max CP for both are [2640 / 2303] (76%/60%) for current candies and [3266 / 3247] at max level. Gyms in my area are all pretty competitive 2.8K + usually sometimes 2.5K. Yes I can walk for the candies as well

Both are great movesets but BS > HB. Since it depends on candy you might want to power the hatched one due to getting it to a higher level

If your primary goal at this moment is to power up a defending snorlax, i would advice to buddy one up, accumulate more candy and then decide.
I know that the momentary feeling after a long awaited hatch is powering up.
But my absolute experince (3days from level 39) is to hold your horse, set the higher goal and then maybe, maybe, you will get something much better ti spend those hard to get snorlax-candy on.

I'm in a similar boat. I have two Snorlax 80-84 that I hatched and one has L/HB and the other ZH/HB. But I also have a 62% Snorlax I caught in the wild with Body Slam. I'm saving my candies and plan to power up my BS Snorlax.

Body Slam is a legacy moveset and is a killer.

There is a 36% Snorlax in a gym here that has 3atk and Body Slam. I wanted to get an idea on what it was like to battle it and let me tell you it still is a pain in the butt, even at 36%. His CP might not be the highest due to lower IVs but he's still a beast.

I'm saving up my candies for my level 14 62% ZH/BS Snorlax.

yes, body slam snorlax is more akward to fight against than hyper beam

but they are both good, so whatever choice he makes, it cant be very bad choice xD

maybe more about how rush he is with gyms and how much work he wanna do, cus lower cp slam snorlax requires more walking

I personally like body slam more, cus it makes fights more akward.
Especially for spammers who dont dodge quick moves.
So they need to be rdy to eat body slams dmg or be rdy to do some dodging entire fight.

Also slam doesnt give chance to use charge move safely, especially if attackers charge move animation time is long.

If you are not in rush with the gyms(coins) then i would personally power up body slam.
You cant even get body slam snorlax anymore, so its safe to use candys for it.

In other case you could also walk and get more candys and when you can power up to desired level, then do it if not found better one.

and whatever you choose to power up, its still very solid defender, so cant go much wrong here
