Has any Pokémon been as good in two back-to-back generations as Snorlax, and why is the answer no?

He got completely outclassed by Infernape though, Swampert would be a much better choice.

the OP doesn't say the two gens have to start with the generation the mon was introduced in. Gen 5 and 6 Blaziken was beastly. (arguably 7 too but I stopped following competitive so I don't know.)

Gengar has been great for like seven back to back to back to back etc generations, followed by getting a mega that was sent straight to ubers. He has to be the king.

breloom and scizor both got really good buffs in gen4 and were similarly great in gen5

is there a pokemon who has an unevolved form that sees usage alongside it in OU other than magnezone? chansey eclipses blissey in almost everything, but magnezone vs magneton is a valid choice to make considering their different speed tiers

Snorlax has literally 95+ percent usage in OU in the first two generations, nothing mentioned so far ITT comes even close.

snorlax has a combination of STAB boom, special tank, physical presence, status absorber, and win condition in gens where there were no real options.
There's too much to choose from and the metagame is too wide to have something be that dominant now because it would get banned from OU
The only proven staples for current OU across several gens i can think of are lando-t, heatran, ferrothorn, and maybe zapdos

It was sort of good, but not at the level of Gen 1/Gen 2 Snorlax.

Being weak to ground is a pretty huge nerf but he's still a good pokemon. gen 7 UU is basically old OU anyway. And he still has one of the best megas.

I guess? Gen 2 Lax is clearly the most dominant mon of all time, but in Gen 1 there's still a debate about whether it's better than the other 2 normals (and personally I think Chansey is better). Sand Stream Tyranitar, in the infinite weather days, defined gens 3/4/5, which imo is more impressive since there were way more threats to deal with. If I had to divide it up, I'd say that

Gen 1/2: Snorlax era
Gen 3/4/5: Tyranitar era
Gen 6/7: Landorus-T era
