POKEMON TEACHES KIDS TO BE MORBIDLY OBESE

**Marchie** · 07-18-2010, 07:55 PM

It worked for me.

Robotazy · 07-18-2010, 08:29 PM

Snorlax is a great tank.

At least I think he is.

He's still a great normal Tank at least.

Sim Kid · 07-18-2010, 08:41 PM

It's an alright tank. Pretty much the best use for normal types, since they can't deal that much damage otherwise. (Not like you can exploit STAB + Super effectiveness.)

Luigiman7 · 07-18-2010, 09:07 PM

weehee

You misspelled Earthquake.

**Marchie** · 07-18-2010, 09:13 PM

^Thanks, I kinda rushed.

I would've laughed.

dogman · 07-19-2010, 08:53 PM

snorlax is a great pokemon i had a snorlax and raised him up and he was almost lvl 100 until i released him

***Ace Mercury*** · 07-20-2010, 12:29 PM

I remember this hilarious strategy:

Rage is extremely stingy on PP, but it's worth spending a little PP to have a chance of actually winning the fight. Actually, some have claimed to have found a workable moveset using Rage, which involves putting up very strong defenses, Double Teaming to the max, and then just letting Snorlax drain the enemy's PP in a grumpy Rage. This is a terribly annoying way to fight, although possibly warranted, if your opponent enjoys Defense Curling your time away with his Chansey...but if that's the case, the Azure Heights staff recommends punching your rival in the nose and finding a better opponent.

You'd be surprised.

STAB Return, Rage, and Flail (don't anyone come in and say "more like FAIL," I'm calling that joke) can completely pwn with the normal-type enhancing item. (some kind of scarf, its name escapes me.)

In the case of snorlax, it tends to be a great tank and/or a great wall.

THE GREAT WALL OF SNORLAX!

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-20-2010, 02:38 PM

^Don't forget you need something non-Normal to handle Ghosts, Steels, & Rocks.

And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six."

Vgfian · 07-21-2010, 07:18 AM

^Another reason that normals can be useful.
Most have a fairly wide moveset of many diffrent types.

***CaptHayfever*** · 07-21-2010, 02:45 PM

I know. I was just pointing out that the setup you have listed is all Normal attacks, which 2 types resist & one type is immune to.

And remember, "I'm-a Charizard, number, well, six."

Vgfian · 07-21-2010, 03:36 PM

Ah, sorry, I didn't mean to come off as if I meant for them all in one moveset. No, that would not be so good.

**Marchie** · 07-25-2010, 06:48 PM

Update will probably be tomorrow night. Kinda busy tonight. Haha

Glux · 07-25-2010, 08:15 PM

I remember one time in the Anime Snorlax, in one battle, used a total of 6 moves.

Sim Kid · 07-25-2010, 09:04 PM

PSSST - Spiritomb should be #108 pokemon of the week. :P

oh wait, sorry, spam. XD

Yeah, it's alright, but I think Snorlax is better as a wall anyways.
