How will Gen 6 put Snorlax back on his rightful throne as the King of Pokemon?

This is not about the Gens themselves, it is about Snorlax' position in said Gens.

No. Alakazam, Chansey, Tauros, Exeggutor and Starmie are all superior.

Wait, why doesn't Snorlax already have Slack Off?
It's literally all he does, according to the Pokedex.

That's actually a tough one, because many things that made him good back then are now weaknesses. Also, there now is an abundance of powerful fighting attacks...

Ability: Poison Heal
Item: Toxic Orb
Moves: Facade, Earthquake, Slack Off, Curse
Would hit like a truck and be notoriously difficult to kill.

Gengar, Skarmory etc. stop it cold, though.

to fit crunch in you'd have to get rid of earthquake which means it'd get walled by rocks and steels

But that depends on what you're trying to do. If Gengar is such an issue, drop one of it's moves. If it's not, then don't. You could even drop Facade. It may hit like a truck, but Earthquake and Crunch give a pretty nice coverage and Normal is only good for hitting neutral.

It depends on what you're trying to do and what pokes give you trouble, but it has a way to get past Gengar.

it's really not even an issue with team preview. You could send out snorlax to wall whatever, then switch to your gengar counter immediately since you know he'll switch gengar in because it completely walls snorlax.

on a side note, I really hate team preview. Takes all the fun out of guessing your opponents team, strategy, movesets, etc.

Agreed, but the problem is that it takes the fun and part of the strategy out of it. If knowing if half the battle, then I only have half the battle I used to have in Gen IV and before.
