A new season titled Timeless Travel has begun in Pokémon GO. This Hisui-focused season begins with an Ice-, Steel-, and Dragon-focused December 2023. This month, we have the return of the Unova Dragons to Tier Five Raids, Steel- and Ice-type Megas, and special Raid Day events featuring Hisuian Pokémon. Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Snorlax in Tier Three Raids during the Adamant Time event starting soon. Let's get into it.
Top Snorlax Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Snorlax counters as such:
- Mega Blaziken: Counter, Focus Blast
- Terrakion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Mega Rayquaza: Dragon Tail, Dragon Ascent
- Shadow Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Keldeo: Low Kick, Sacred Sword
- Mega Alakazam: Counter, Focus Blast
- Lucario: Counter, Aura Sphere
- Shadow Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Conkeldurr: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Mega Lopunny: Double Kick, Focus Blast
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Snorlax with efficiency.
- Pheromosa: Low Kick, Focus Blast
- Galarian Zapdos: Counter, Close Combat
- Machamp: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Buzzwole: Counter, Superpower
- Hawlucha: Low Kick, Flying Press
- Breloom: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Hariyama: Counter, Dynamic Punch
- Virizion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Cobalion: Double Kick, Sacred Sword
- Passimian: Counter, Superpower
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Snorlax can be defeated with one trainer, but if you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Snorlax is currently thought to be full odds in Pokémon GO.
