I think this is a good place to post this. The facade buff is a dream come true for Snorlax. Here is the post i just posted in the Underrated Set thread
Ok guys seriously I believe CurseLax is back. And I know what you are thinking, "Oh look its this post again", but for cereals I had great success on the OU ladder using CurseLax and a team that can support it.
There are 2 reasons why CurseLax is real good this generation
1) The fighting type nerf. Been discussed to death but its true. Fighting types are far less prevelant in OU and the ones that are around are much more easily checked because of Fairies and Talonflame
2) The Facade buff. Yes the minor Facade buff it receives that makes burns no longer half the attack stat when using the move. This is crucial because this allows Snorlax to EASILY set up on Rotom W and make him a liability for your opponents team. The pure power that a +2 Status'd Facade from a Snorlax is absolutely outstanding. Curselax always had a problem and worry of getting burned after it's intial rest. But now Snorlax is the ultimate status absorber.
EV Spread: 252 HP, 252 Special Defense, 4 attack
Nature: Careful
Ability: Thick Fat
Item: Chesto Berry
Facade/Return/Body Slam
Earthquake/Crunch
Curse
Rest
Here it is folks, the most terrifying set of the second generation remix'd. Its is strongly advised that you wait til late game to try to sweep with this. You could pull it off early depending on your opponents team but late game after all potential counters are gone it is absolutely devastating. Facade is strongly the most recommended STAB move out of the 3 because of the small buff it receives and guarantees you will be able to set up on essentially anything special attacker without worry. Rotom W and Rotom H absolutely cries at this set because its ability to absorb all their attacks and will-o-wisp and destroy as a result of a 210 bp facade. If you are worried about the 70 base power though as a result of not being status'd you can go Return or Body Slam. Return has the power, but Body Slam allows Snorlax to have another role as the Special Wall team supporter who can spread paralysis
Earthquake is the coverage move of choice as it gives Snorlax strong coverage overall. Crunch is another strong option so it isnt walled hard by Skarmory and Gengar. Dark also has great coverage overall this gen. But beware that Tyranitar and Bisharp laughs at this set if you are running Crunch. Both are viable options just build your team around to support which ever move it has.
Hands down the best partner for this set is Talonflame. Talonflame is the best friend Snorlax has been waiting generations for. It can easily revenge kill or scare out fighting types AND take out the number one enemy of this set Skarmory and Gengar. Azumarill is another good choice because it can dispatch huge fighting threats such as Infernape, Terrakion, Conkelldurr etc etc.
Checks and Counters: Obviously fighting types are the first to come to mind. Until you dispatch them they can stop the boosting and sweeping at will. Skarmory is also enemy number one as it is untouched by Norma/Ground and doesnt care much for Crunch and can whirlwind Snorlax out. Rest of the counters depends on your coverage move. Without Earthquake Tyranitar and Bisharp are problems but without Crunch Gengar is a big problem. Build your team with this in mind and you should be successful
Overall thoughts: Fun to use and enjoyable to sweep with. Snorlax may not be top tier, but this set has been absolutely devastating with the right team support and I highly recommend it
