>>57168493I smoke some serious shit, but I'm pretty sure bring 3, adapted to the current level of meta solidification gen 2 has, means you bring Snorlax, two "counters" for specific Snorlax builds that you intuit from enemy team comp, and then three pokemon to deal with the likely counters to your Snorlax.
It sounds to me that this meta is actually just 50% more snorlax, and 75% less not-snorlax.
Nothing can blanket answer Snorlax except Snorlax, whether you bring 3 or 6, and not bringing 3 members of your team just means your freedom for slots unrelated to Snorlax evaporate, and the three slots you don't use in any given battle should be fringe answers to Snorlax, or counter counters to Snorlax, that do you no harm if you have them but don't bring them.
It sounds to me like all the problems of the gen 2 OU meta get worse if you bring 3, unless you like sucking snorlax dicks for 30 minutes at a time. Well, 20 minutes at a time, since 3 members of the team aren't coming.
