Pokemon Go: How to Beat Snorlax in a Raid Battle

Alright, let’s talk about this… uh… Snorlax thing, yeah, Snorlax raid. My grandson, he’s always yappin’ about it, Pokey-man or somethin’. Says it’s a big deal, this Snorlax. Looks like a big ol’ bear to me, always sleepin’.

So, first things first, this Snorlax, he’s in somethin’ called a “raid.” Sounds scary, like them revenuers back in the day. But it ain’t that kinda raid. It’s like, a fight, a big group fight. You gotta team up with other folks, your friends or whoever, to beat this sleepy fella.

What you need to know ’bout beatin’ this Snorlax:

• Weakness: He’s scared of fightin’ types. You know, like them punchy Pokey-mans. My grandson showed me some. Mega Blazi-somethin’, Galla-thingy, Luke-something, and that Macho-man. Yeah, those guys. They hit hard, real hard. That “close combat” move, that’s the ticket.
• Solo or Team?: Now, if you got a real strong Pokey-man yourself, you might be able to beat Snorlax all by your lonesome. But it ain’t easy. Better to go with a group. More hands make light work, like quiltin’ bees back home.
• Snorlax ain’t no attacker: Don’t you think this Snorlax is gonna be some kinda attackin’ master. He’s more like… a big ol’ wall. Good for takin’ hits, not so much for givin’ ’em. Unless he does that “Belly Drum” thing. Then he gets real strong, real quick. But it takes him a turn, see? So you gotta be ready.

My grandson, he showed me some numbers too. CP somethin’ or other. Says the higher the better. And this Snorlax, he’s got a lotta CP when he’s in these raids. Something like 16 somethings. Big number. Means he’s tough.

Now, they say this Snorlax fella was in some harder raids before, Tier 4 or somethin’. That’s even tougher, I guess. But now he’s mostly in Tier 3, which is a bit easier, but still needs a good punchin’ Pokey-man.

And get this, sometimes, this Snorlax, he’s all shiny. Like a new penny. But it’s rare, real rare. Like findin’ a four-leaf clover in the dead of winter. Don’t go lookin’ for it, it’ll just happen if it’s meant to be.

So, how do you get ready for this raid? First, you gotta have them fightin’ type Pokey-mans, the ones I mentioned. And they gotta be strong, real strong. Gotta level ‘em up, or whatever my grandson calls it. Give ’em good moves, that close combat thing is best. And then, you gotta find some folks to help ya. Can’t do it alone, not unless you’re some kinda Pokey-man master.

And remember, even though Snorlax is sleepy, he ain’t no pushover. He can take a punch, and he can dish ’em out too, specially after that Belly Drum. You gotta be smart, gotta be quick, and gotta have a good team. Then you can beat that Snorlax and catch him for yourself.

Oh, and one more thing, my grandson was ramblin’ about somethin’ called “Tera Raid Build” and “Studded Jacket” and “ability ability”, I dunno what that means, sounds like fancy city talk to me. Just get yourself a good fightin’ type, that’s all you need. Good strong Pokey-man, good friends, and a good plan. That’s how you win any fight, Pokey-man or otherwise.

This Snorlax raid thing, it ain’t so different from harvestin’ season. You gotta work together, you gotta be prepared, and you gotta have a little bit of luck. And at the end of the day, hopefully you got somethin’ good to show for it, be it a full belly or a new Pokey-man. That’s just common sense, somethin’ they don’t teach in them city schools.

So go on out there, find yourself a Snorlax raid, and give ‘em what for. Just remember what I told ya, and you’ll be just fine. And don’t forget to have fun, that’s what my grandson always says, even though I don’t always understand what’s so fun about it, seems like a lot of work to me. But he enjoys it, and that’s what matters.
