Fans of the Pokémon franchise will be happy to hear that Snorlax is returning to Raid Battles. There are very few Pokémon that are effective against this Normal-type Pokémon since its only weakness is Fighting-type moves. Luckily though, Snorlax is only resistant to Ghost-type moves. This means that most moves are at least effective against the Sleeping Pokémon. Players should keep in mind that Snorlax has a fairly high HP, which can make Raid Battles take longer than others. For a more in-depth look at countering Snorlax, check out the Raid Guide below.
