Snorlax Counters

Since Shadow Pokémon are extremely expensive to power up and require specific events to remove Frustration with a Charge TM, they will NOT be listed as raid counters in this article. That being said, if you have the shadow form of a listed raid counter Pokémon powered up and TMed, use it.

Snorlax Movepool

Fast Moves Charge Moves
  • Lick Ghost
  • Zen Headbutt Psychic
  • Skull Bash Normal
  • Hyper Beam Normal
  • Earthquake Ground
  • Heavy Slam Steel
  • Super Power Fighting
  • Outrage Dragon
  • Body Slam Normal

Zen Headbutt will do some damage to your fighters, but with no Psychic type Charged Attack, and no STAB, it isn’t too much to worry about. Earthquake, Outrage and Super Power will all hit pretty hard, but their typings mean they aren’t Super Effective.

Snorlax Stats

Snorlax Normal
Max CP at lvl 40 3225 | at lvl 50 3647
ATK 190 DEF 169 HP 330
Weak to Resistances
Fighting Ghost

That HP stat of 330 means Snorlax can feel like slow work, but being a Normal type it can[‘t do any Super Effective damage to you. Use optimal counters and watch this beefy lad melt away!

Sprites

Regular Sprite Shiny Sprite

Snorlax is a highly sought after shiny, with their teal body becoming a bright royal blue!
