>Gen 2 >not dedicating half your team to Snorlax, a primary

Add a third Snorlax check imo. You need to be able to handle both CurseLax and DrumLax.

>both Earthquake Curselax and Fire Blast Curselax

Fixed that for you. Curselax is something you check, Drumlax is something you play around and keep away from setting up safely in the first place.

>tfw come from a universe where the Special split only happened gen 3.

What's worse is that it was never banned to ubers

>>33497023
If snorlax was so dominant in the gen 2 meta that you needed 2 or even up to 3 snorlax checks (besides snorlax), what did people even use the last 2 slots for?

>>33497145
snorlax check counters

>>33497145
A legendary Electric-type and something that learns Spikes.

Example teams:
Stall: Snorlax/Raikou/Skarmory/Cloyster/Miltank, with room for creativity in the last slot.
Offense: Snorlax/Zapdos/Steelix/Cloyster/Exeggutor, with room for creativity in the last slot.
Exeggutor is not a true Snorlax check, but it can sleep or explode, and the last slot is usually something that matches up well against Snorlax.

What about Marowak?

>>33497201
>room for creativity in the last slot
Put Marowak on the first team, make Snorlax a Drumlax, and you have the two most dangerous physical sweepers with a solid defensive core. On the second team, Marowak is an endgame threat that can benefit from holes punched by Explosion from Steelix/Cloyster/Exeggutor, and maybe paralysis support.

Couldn't people run nightmare on pokemon that abuse rest?

>>33497306
You just switch out. There's a Jynx set which uses Nightmare in conjunction with Mean Look and Lovely Kiss, but that's about as gimmicky as it gets.

>>33497306
Hey man that's a pretty damn good idea, but uh, good fucking luck trying to use Nightmare (Ghost type) on a Snorlax (Normal type). Also, just as >>33497315 said, you can very easily just switch out and do it all over again, you're mainly better off just using a Roarmon

How come Gen 2 Snorlax never got banned?

>>33497333
The short answer is that Snorlax enables both offense and defense. It's a way for stall teams to have an offensive win condition, and a way for offensive teams to have defensive capabilities.

>>33497354
Oh so you mean kind of like Landorus-T?So can we all agree to shut the fuck up about it already?

>>33497372
For what it's worth, the question has come up several times, and every time, all the good players have said no.

>>33497333
That's not what it was like back then.
