Bunch of candy to max a snorlax out (lvl30 trainer) which is better: ZH/EQ 95 % HP is 15 - or a L/BS 89% A is 14? I would say ZH because it covers its weakness (fighting), and has better IVs, but BS is legacy and I sometimes even get hit by it, but it has Lick quick move! Gah please help.
Body Slam is so good that even with Lick it makes for a great defensive moveset imo. After the first few seconds it just starts spamming Body Slams to death anyway, and those are really, really difficult to dodge even for the most expert players.
I know from first hand experience, since my biggest maxed out Snorlax has L+BS and he does his job superbly. Plus it's a legacy move now, and yours even has amazing IV, so it's a no brainer for me - power him up.
I would go L/BS:
- Even with greater ivs, if ZH/EQ has less than 14 attack iv's, it may sit lower than the 89% (plug them into an iv calculator to find out!). Attack ivs impact cp to a greater extent than either defense or hp.
- L/BS works significantly better on offense
- BS is a pain in the butt to dodge; and in my opinion I would rather face a ZH/EQ snorlax than a L/BS snorlax. Granted, lick does only a fraction of damage on defense compared to ZH, yet BS hits often and hard (62.5 damage after stab) and is not nearly as predictable. When EQ is about to fire there is a lot more time for an attacker to dodge.
- L/BS is going to be nassstttyy in PvP. Lick builds up energy soo fast and it will take no time to fire one off (which allows for firing one off and switching back, if need be, compared to ZH/EQ where it will take much more time to charge up and fire off.
