Snorlax's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Snorlax PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

⚔️ Raids

Snorlax is not a great Raid Attacker, despite having access to a wide variety of charged moves. Snorlax is in the same avenue as Chansey for Raids: do not use it. Don’t bring a Snorlax to a Raid battle—there are always better options.

🛡️ Gyms

Gym defense is where Snorlax truly shines! With 330 Stamina, this Pokémon is second only to Blissey and Chansey when it comes to defense. It really doesn’t matter which charged move you keep on it—its sheer bulk is the biggest part of its defense. A+ for defense!

Snorlax PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

Snorlax is not great in the Great League, mostly due to lackluster Fast Move options. Lick, Body Slam, and Superpower are the recommended moves, but it still ranks in the lower 50% of the meta. It can sometimes surprise your opponent, but outside of that, there’s no real usage in GL.

🟡 Ultra League

In the Ultra League, a similar story repeats. Snorlax consistently fails to land wins against the popular meta Pokémon like Primeape, Pangoro, Annihilape, and Clefable. We recommend the same moveset as in the Great League.

🟣 Master League

Finally, in the Master League, Snorlax rises to some relevance! It is a great counter to both Necrozma fusion forms, Origin Forme Giratina, Dialga, and Togekiss. In ML, Snorlax becomes a bulky and spammy option, which can apply good Shield Pressure to your opponent. Since there are fewer Fighting types in ML, Snorlax is a good option there!

Mega Pokémon that boost Snorlax

Normal Normal

Pokédex informationMore information

Mega and Primal Raid Bonus –Mega Pokémon boost the attack power of all other Pokémon when battling in Raid Battles by 10%. Attacks that share their type with the Mega Pokémon's type(s) receive a 30% boost. However, these bonuses do not stack if there are multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling simultaneously; only the higher boost will be applied.

Mega and Primal Catch Bonus –While a Pokémon is Mega-Evolved, additional XP and Candy is granted when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it, or for any raid boss caught. These do not stack with each other. Additionally, High and Max Level Mega-Evolved Pokémon grant an increased chance to obtain Candy XL when catching a Pokémon that shares a type with it.

Note on Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza
  • Primal Kyogre boosts Water-, Electric- and Bug-type attacks and Pokémon.
  • Primal Groudon boosts Fire-, Grass- and Ground-type attacks and Pokémon.
  • Mega Rayquaza boosts Flying-, Dragon- and Psychic-type attacks and Pokémon.
