Over hyped gym attackers, snorlax

Snorlax is a commonly overrated gym attacker. This normal type pokemon comes with an underwhelming 190 base attack stat and no primary attacks with a STAB bonus.

The preferred setup is Lick as primary attack and Hyper Beam as charge attack. In reality Zen Headbutt and Hyper Beam is just about equally good, or in this case, bad.


Place your snorlax in a gym. Even with the worst possible attacks it's still a better defender than most. Don't waste it on attacking a gym. If you're playing high level Pokemon Go you'll have access to a better attacker for every defender you're likely to ever see in a gym.
