by "isnt the type, stat-wise" are you saying snorlax's stats are bad ?

My snorlax:
@lefties
adamant nature
curse
rest
earthquake
body slam [for par]
phwoarr. i must say i agree with you on how good snorlax is.
@ruler_of_all_enteis
i dont use par just to lower speed
it annoys the hell out of people when they cant move
&the hits they do manage to land basically bounce right off after a couple of curses
I've concocted a pretty evil Double Battle combo using what I call "Boomlax" and a Gengar. 'Lax Protects, Gengar explodes. Zapdos then comes out and uses Detect, followed by the boom: Snorlax Selfdestructing. With STAB and his massive Attack stat, Boomlax actually works quite well.
I always use Snorlax in Red/Blue/Fired Red/Leaf Green games. I think it is one of the best tank. It has only one weakness, it has massive special defence and hp and it can learn curse. Moreover, I'm a "gonbe" fan , so I2m happy that I can catch Gonbe and evolve it to snorlax in Diamond/Pearl.
Snorlax has always been a favourite of mine, featuring in my ond R/Y/G/S teams quite often. I last used one in Fire Red and intend to use Munchlax/Snorlax in my first D/P team.
Snorlax is pretty powerfull in my opinion! And possibly my favourite Normal type.
