what went wrong

Shedinja.

>>31333228
It was good in Gen 1 though

>>31333250
It was neat but not top tier in Gen 5. Scraggy is cooler

Snorlax.
Pros: It has Immunity and Thick Fat, has great HP and good special bulk being 160 and 110, its Speed is so bad at 30 that it doesn't matter to use Non-Ghost Curse.

Cons: Physical bulk is a joke at 65 and most of the feared sweepers are physical attackers, Fighting-type moves are everywhere and are physical, Pulverizing Pancake is the strongest Exclusive Z-Move but Snorlax prefers to hold Leftovers.

anything from gen 4
......what was I thinking liking that ugly garbage?

no, Snorlax prefers not to run fucking Giga Impact.
why they didn't base it on Body Slam is beyond me

b-but VGC

>>31333228
It was actually a good shout in early XY VGC. Worked well with Zard Y

>>31336791
moves with shitty drawbacks are the best things to use Z-Moves on. Fly and Solar Beam are fantastic with Z Crystals because theyre strong as sin

>>31333228
Eviolite Rhydon put in some work for my BT team, but you're right

>>31335513
At least it has sorta reliable recovery now.

Megas are strong, but Zard itself is shit.
