Why isn't Snorlax great any more?

He used to be among the very best when I was young.

Because Psychic isn't prominent enough to ward off fighting types.

Fighting also is more powerful now.

Huge power creep, and Normal is not that great of a typing.

Just be glad it hasn't fallen to the depths of PU like Tauros has.

Very simple: Poison Heal.
Now, Snorlax has an immunity to status, twice the passive recovery of Leftovers and a fantastic STAB option in Facade.
>>19503967
If Immunity makes sense, there is not much of a leap to Poison Heal. Why Snorlax didn't get it as Hidden Ability in Gen V is beyond me.

on my phone so I can't send you the link, but smogon does theorymon project where they take a mediocre pokemon and change one thing about it to try and make it viable.

One of them was poison heal snorlax and it pretty much broke the OU meta

Rapid Spin. It having access to Scrappy means it can't be spinblocked by a Ghost type. It's already great defensively and access to Heal Bell and Milk Drink.

Normal+Dark or Normal+Ghost is actually pretty great coverage in this generation.
It does miss out on certain threats like pseudogodzilla and the chess piece, though.

It's the tier where Hydreigon, Volcarona, Metagross, Celebi, and a bunch of other scary as fuck Pokemon hang out. UU is the new OU, and OU is just a holding ground for those not strong enough to fight Mewtwo Y.

Wait, what? How the fuck did Lucario get into UU? Infernape's always been a bit of a rogue glass cannon, to varying extents of succes, but you can create any Lucario you want currently with it's mega buffs. EXTREMESPEED MEGA.

Still cool concept like, always wanted mixed stat pokes to be viable

assault vest snorlax with facade, crunch, earthquake, and body slam really pulled its weight when I played during the april friendly

it walled non life orb yveltal, paralyzed plenty of xerneas, shit on rotom who spammed wil-o-wisp, and took care of mewtwos that didn't carry psystrike

I think snorlax has its own niche and at least is in a respectable tier
if you like battle spot he's your guy

Normal+Dark is fantastic. It's only resisted by Tyranitar, Lucario, Terrakion, Cobalion and Bisharp, if I'm not mistaken.
With a 140 base power STAB move in Facade coming from a base 110 attack, it still hurts even the things that resist it.
