How can we stop this guy's inevitable descent into PU?

I miss the days when snorlax was good.
I still played him in gen5 pretty solid, always top 20 on smogon with this cute fatty.
Gen7 killed snorlax.

sheer force
Normal typing just isn't that good defensively. It can be good offensively, but that's more due to busted stats and abilities (look at the normal type BL mons)
As a defensive typing it has no resistances (- an immunity to ghost) so it can be worn down incredibly easily by pretty much anything that can hit hard. The only reason Chansey and Blissey are relevant is more due to their busted stats and good defensive ability in serene grace than anything related to typing.
So it either needs a busted ability, or a far better defensive niche.

Slack Off

The fuck are you talking about? He's solid in RU.
>>32755234
This would help a lot
>>32755242
Yes, and he used to be solid in OU, and UU

i meant natural cure, i'm a retard

Give him an All-Out Forme with open eyes that activates after his Z-Move.
Normal

Ability stays the same-or maybe Moxie.

Normal-type drain punch, or drain punch in general.
>>32755044
Just needs a mega with more bulk
Something like 165/140/115/45/150/5 would fix him imo
He can keep Thick Fat or Immunity and be fine, Filter or Fur Coat would make him gross though, pic related

Early Bird could also be utterly disgusting
>>32755044
At least she's good in VGC
REGENERATOR
Huge Power
>>32755234
This seriously doesn't get slack off? Could've sworn it did.
He won't drop all the way to PU, at least in near future. To make him good? Slack off, or find something to slap the steel typing into his body. Maybe a mega, or give him huge power to let him be a god in trick room.

In recent history, Snorlax tops not only the usage stats in Gen 2 OU, but Gen 1 OU as well (just a fraction ahead of Tauros and Chansey).

Poison Heal might work.
1. Double Leftovers, great for a slow, bulky thing
2. Immunity to status
3. STAB 140 BP Facade coming from a good Attack
>>32755138
What? If anything, gen 7 buffed him thanks to the confusion berries working with Gluttony. You can pretty much get a free Belly Drum and sustain in the form of Recycle.

Knock off is all over the place, and an item slot

Slack Off and Comatose.
