>100% usage in gen 2 OU, Considered absolutely mandatory for a team to even be functional, In Ubers you could even argue it's the best pokemon in that tier as well.
>Has a movepool that's ridiculous Gen 2 Rest when called by sleep talk recovers your HP to full. Not to mention the plethora of other sets that it could run because it could do it incredibly, This is the reason Magearna was banned by the way
>Forced to run at minimum 2 answers to it and even then it's not guaranteed to work because the snorlax could be carrying something to deal with your fancy counter strategy. I mean the fact that growl miltank was considered viable at one point really sets in the idea that snorlax is busted
>Ludicrous bulk, Meaning it could switch in to basically everything and even the mons that can threaten 2-hit KO's like machamp can't switch in safely because they get heavily damaged by double edge.
>Status doesn't work either, Rest handles that.
>Often the best answer to snorlax was to send in your own snorlax.
Now remember, Everytime smogon brings up the fact that a pokemon is restrictive on team building, Understand that in Gen 2 you had to run a 2 answers to snorlax + Snorlax itself to even have your team be functional.
