Best Shadow Snorlax Counters: How to Defeat Shadow Snorlax
By Nathan Fusco
Choosing the best Shadow Snorlax counters is important if you want to catch the sleepy monstrosity. With the recent Team Rocket Takeover event, players will encounter more Team Rocket minions bosses, and more importantly Shadow Pokémon.
Starting on March 7 at 2 p.m. local time, Team Rocket will have an increase presence and so will dark and poison type Pokémon. You'll also have the chance at purifying Pokémon which makes them more powerful.
Odd things are afoot, Trainers. #TeamGORocket is up to something, and whatever it is, it’s affecting the world of Pokémon GO. ? Poison- and Dark-type Pokémon have been appearing in increased numbers. Wonder what this could all mean... pic.twitter.com/QKEzHeVmEe

Best Shadow Snorlax Counters: How to Defeat Shadow Snorlax
Snorlax is a normal-type Pokémon, so he's the perfect defense Pokémon. While Snorlax was already a pain to take down, with the Shadow buff, Snorlax can take some damage and end up wiping your raid team if you don't do it right. Here's a list of Pokémon would do well against Shadow Snorlax.
- Mewtwo - Psycho Cut and Focus Blast
- Weavile - Ice Shard and Focus Blast
- Tyranitar - Smack Down, Crunch or Stone Edge
- Metagross - Psychic, Bullet Punch or Meteor Mash
- Lucario - Counter and Close Combat
- Machamp - Counter and Dynamic Punch
Basically you want fighting-type Pokémon or high DPS Pokémon. If you have a ghost, steel or rock-type Pokémon, you'll last longer as well.
