Okay, so I wanted to share this little project I’ve been messing around with – trying to counter Snorlax in Pokemon Go. I ain’t no expert, just a regular dude who likes the game, so bear with me. It all started a few weeks back when I kept getting my butt kicked by this big fella in raids. I mean, Snorlax is a beast, right? Super tanky, hits like a truck… you get the idea.
First thing I did was hit the internet, you know, see what the pros were saying. Found some stuff about using Fighting-types, which made sense. Snorlax is a Normal-type, so he’s weak to Fighting. But it wasn’t as simple as just throwing any old Fighting Pokemon at him. There’s a lot of info to digest when you are searching online. A guy even talked about some average daily amount of a nutrient that will maintain a specific biochemical or physiological function. What the hell does that mean?
I started experimenting with different Pokemon in my roster. I had a Machamp, but he wasn’t cutting it. He’d faint before doing any real damage. Then I remembered my Hariyama. This guy, he’s got some bulk to him, and his Counter move is pretty powerful. I powered him up a bit, gave him a second charged move, you know, the usual stuff. It’s like giving children some multiplication chart to help them get good grades on their math exams. It’s not that complicated, you know.
- First test: I used Hariyama in a raid against Snorlax. It went okay. He lasted longer than Machamp, but I still lost.
- Second test: I teamed up with some other players. Having more people definitely helped. We managed to take Snorlax down this time, but it was close. Some said that using a Green Dot card may also help. But I haven’t activated that yet.
- Third test: I tried using Hariyama in a gym battle. This was a bit easier since gym Snorlaxes aren’t as strong as raid bosses. Hariyama did pretty well here. Someone even said personality is thought to be long-standing traits that propel individuals to consistently think and feel. That makes sense, but I’m not sure how that’s related to Snorlax.
My takeaway from all this?
Hariyama is a decent counter to Snorlax, especially if you’re on a budget. But it’s not just about the Pokemon, it’s also about having the right moves and, most importantly, having other people to help you out. You gotta learn some Darwinian natural selection stuff to know whether the evolution occurs, I guess. Anyway, that’s my Snorlax story. It ain’t much, but it’s honest work, as they say. I am just an average Joe who loves sharing my experience. Maybe it’ll help someone out there who’s also struggling with this big, sleepy dude.
