Recommended Posts

I dont know what moveset to do for snorlax,there are some ideas:
Belly drum snorlax:

Yawn ( sleep enemy)
stockpile (increase def and sp.def)

belly drum (use BD then heal pot)

body slam (start hiting)

Offensive snorlax: (dont know which moves to grab)

EQ

elem. punches

Bullet seed

Crunch

Body slam

Since it is very slow pokemon and it cant learn trick room, i dont have any idea how to use him, any tips?

Curse, Body Slam, Crunch/Brick Break, Yawn.

It's already specially bulky as hell, no need to bother buffing that. It needs some physical-defense buffs, otherwise it suffers from Wailord syndrome (high health, which means trivialized by low defense), so Belly Drum is a no-go. It's Speed is also really bad (though that doesn't matter, it's bulky so going last is no problem), so Curse is a perfect move for it.

Body Slam is obvious STAB with a high para-chance which can really help the rest of your team out.

Crunch and Brick Break are for coverage. Only a few things resist both Normal and Dark moves, but Brick Break gives way better super-effective coverage, especially since we're past both Shade and Radomus, but Ghost-types would then be a problem, though those are incredibly rare. It's up to you. Hey, you can even run Curse + 3 Attacks, and that wouldn't be too bad either.

Yawn can be really nice at the start, but bear in mind that you'll get hit twice before the foe goes to sleep, so whether you should Curse up while healing or Yawn and then Curse up depends on the situation.

Of the moves you've mentioned, the Elemental Punches are unavailable since they're tutor moves, EQ is a TM move and it doesn't even learn Bullet Seed in any way. Only EQ can be obtained, but only by going back to pre-E13. There, Smeargle is the only thing that gets you both Curse and EQ, check my guide if you need instructions.

I never used a smeargle and i dont have it, so i figured out i can breed Eq from Rhyhorn and Curse from Bergmite. I found your suggested movepool interesting so i am gonna try it, thanks for replying :)

No can do. It's only from E13-onwards that the parent passes on Egg Moves as well. Without a Smeargle, it's either EQ or Curse.

Unless your starter was a Turtwig.

Nope, can't do that, it would lose Curse, since the father would have to pass it down in order for it to be kept, which isn't possible pre-E13.

Smeargle is about the only thing that can be taught both the moves you need and pass 'em on to Snorlax. Note that breeding a Munchlax with anything isn't possible, so you have to use a Snorlax in the breeding process.

He probably means Seed Bomb.

Curse + 3 attacks is probably best overall.

Yes i meant seed bomb but its also from move tutor so its useless, i also read about how to do the smeargle things since i cant do the other... i only didnt searched its location

It's in the Mysidia Cave, which is at the northern part of that tree-puzzle in Chrysolia. I think it has to be a clear night or a windy night for the path to open. As for how to use Smeargle, here you go.
