PvE Analysis
Gigantamax Snorlax could have been potentially amazing for Max Battles. After all, it's TANKY AS HECK, has great neutral defensive performance, and has a great fast move for generating energy. That is, if it wasn't for the fact that Dynamax Blissey was released before Gigantamax Snorlax. Blissey not only has the same typing and Defense stat as Snorlax, it also has nearly 50% more HP, making it a far superior choice for tanking and healing.
Snorlax is by no means awful - it has a bit more of an offensive presence between Lick's coverage and the occasional G-Max Replenish (when it has no better option to click). It's still a really tanky Pokemon and can serve well as part of your team's backbone.
Best Dynamax Moveset
- Lick is the key ingredient to Gigantamax Snorlax. The fact that it quickly generates energy due to how frequently it comes out means that Gigantamax Snorlax will be able to support its team with Max Guard and Max Spirit extremely well.
- If you're going for offensive performance (don't), then pair Lick with a move that's Super Effective, or just default to Body Slam.
PvP Analysis
In terms of PvP performance, Dynamax Pokemon are virtually identical to their non-Dynamax counterparts, with the main difference being that Gigantamax Snorlax does not have access to Return.
