Pokémon Unite Snorlax Gameplay Tips
Our Pokémon Unite Snorlax guide includes the perfect game plan for the early and late game during Unite battles.
Early game
Stay near your goal and farm as much as possible, the buffs Snorlax gets as he levels up allow him to keep up with the attackers. Stay ahead with your teammate during the fights so you can absorb all the damage and your teammate can damage the opponents.
Use CC as much as you can to slow down or interrupt the enemies, it creates a window for your teammate to use his abilities freely. Try to avoid 1v1 fights with Attackers, Speedsters, or All-rounders as Snorlax has slow movement and enemies can finish you easily, for such situations use Eject to retreat.
Late game
Make rotations in the late game and take part in team fights and make use of your ultimate at a proper time when you are low on health so you gain more health rapidly and also tank for your teammates while dealing damage to opponents.
Now you can fight with anyone 1v1 due to HP and CC advantages, but do remember when to retreat if at a disadvantage as dying, in the end, the game will make your team fall behind the opponents. In team fights, stay ahead of everyone, tank for them, and make openings for your teammates so they can finish off the enemies.
Positioning
Top and Bottom Lane both are good for Snorlax, all you need is a High DPS teammate with you.
