Best Snorlax build in Pokémon UNITE

Fall asleep on the job and still help your team win.

It seems like a no-brainer. The massive roster of Pokémon and their wide variety of abilities are rife for a MOBA, and now it’s finally here: Pokémon UNITE.

One of the world’s favorite, most recognizable Pokémon, Snorlax, is in the game at launch. The big, chunky bear-like creature is a dominant force in any game of UNITE, especially when placed in the top lane with a character of another class archetype.

Snorlax, as it should be, is an extremely tanky Pokémon that suits the Defender class very well. It’s able to hold down an area with its strength, size, and high health pool while disrupting teamfights with its distinct and specific moveset.

Here’s the best way to build Snorlax as a tank and Defender in Pokémon UNITE.
