Which Snorlax?

Submit Feedback or Error

Hey, guys

I have two Snorlaxes:
1- ZH/HB (13/10/12) - Lvl 23 - Cp 2128
2 - L/HB (11/11/15) - Lvl 20 - CP 1868

The first one is A for Defender and the second one is A for Attacker.

Now i'm sitting on 44 candies and that's my doubt:
Should I only feed the Attacker or give half for each?

Dont power up the L/HB because L is not very effective vs normal types ie blissey and snorlax/the best defenders also HB is bad for defence so power up the ZH/HB for offence and leave the other one alone. Because for defence you want either BS or HS not HB. Some times you have to stray away from the ranking because they are not always ideal for the meta for example with gyms filled with blissey/snorlax hurricane is better for d-nite on offence because of high dps and that is also the case with CC on machamp because blissey has 2 charge moves that deal SE damage to machamp CC is better due to a much lower CD so you dont miss a dodge so when looking at the rankings take them as a strong opinion not fact. Hope this helps.

According to simulations, Lick/HB is actually still better than ZH/HB when attacking into normal types such as Snorlax and Blissey.

Power up ZH one.
It's much better for defense and it's usable to attack too, though it's a defender really.

Snorlax might be a defender but HB is awful on defence for one it has lower defensive dps than BS and HS also it is much easier to dodge than the other two.

A dodged hyperbeam still does 47 damage. That's a lot. And since zen head butt forces an attacker to dodge the quick move a strong ZH/HB snorlax will get off 2 hyper beams in a battle, that's 94 of damage from dodged hyper beams. And of course if you miss a dodge, the battle is over. Power up the zen headbutt snorlax and put it in a gym. I wouldn't use snorlax as an attacker unless you don't value time. His strength is in his high health pool. There are much better options for attacking.

Also I have two snorlaxes at 98%, one with zen headbutt and heavy slam at 3039 CP and the other with zen headbutt and hyperbeam at 3005 CP. Training with my level 30 heracross with counter and close combat against each one and dodging everything, I consistently have lower health after a battle with the hyperbeam one.

Anyways I said dps not strait up damage what I said was, based on dps and dodgibility HB is strictly worse than BS and HS because I have prestiged against and BS and a HB and I was able to beat two HB ones around 2400 cp with about 4 low lvl mons minimal dodging then a 2100 cp BS one was added and it took me 4 just to beat the one so I am going to stick with the dps and dogibility argument but other than that congrats on your two high cp snorlaxes.(ps. I was using basically the same prestigers due to the fighting moves)
