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.

Happy raiding, fellow trainers! Be sure to check back on Bleeding Cool for daily updates on all things Pokémon GO.
