1.77/10 It isn't that good, maybe for a stall idea, if you get heads your not in good shape. Tropical Wave maybe.
 
Modified: 4/10
Limited: 9/10
Fun: 4/10

Snorlax's objective is to remain asleep and place damage counters on the Defending Pokémon. It can go to sleep via its Dozing Poké-Power or your opponent's Pokémon's abilities. Between turns you hope the coin is tails to place damage counters on the Defending Pokémon.

Windstorm is useful to help Snorlax remove any Cessation Crystal in play.

Snorlax is a useful cover to build up your other necessary Pokémon. It lacks consistency to damage your opponent's Pokémon.
 
My scores:

Modified: 1/10
Snorlax gets demolished by Fighting types in Modified (Lucario anyone?)

Unlimited: 1/10 (Better use Base Gastly instead)
Unlimited is not better, as Sneasle, Suicune ex, and Haymaker (Hitmonchan) slay it.

Limited: 5/10
Limited is better as it's a high HP pokemon, but it's damage output is horrid, though no NRG needed is an advantage.


In short: Don't use it.
 
Snorlax is an important part of Pokémon history.

He's the final edition in a number of test runs by an R & D team that obviously desperately wanted to make free attacks but weren't allowed until DP. Three DP sets down the line, he now just looks silly. A silly little lab mouse. Big, fat lab mouse.

1/10. Sorry, Snorlax.
 
Alrighty, Snorlax.

Well, he has an interesting set of powers that work together. He can heal for 2 counters three-quarters of your turns, which is nice. Doing two damage between every turn would add up to a nice 40 for no energy, but there's that chance that he'll wake up, which is kind of cruddy.

Unlimited--Too weak, I give it 3/10

Limited--It's decent and REQUIRES NO ENERGY, so it's going to fit well into any deck. 7/10

Modified--There's not a lot of Grass metagame going on right now, but it doesn't require energy and has a weakness to Fighting. Still, I can't see it getting much play because there are better cards that are less "flippy". 5/10

Personally, I *might* use it, but there are so many better cards out there.
