Weekend Free-for-All!

Note: A minor update was released for both Android and iOS. I think it was mostly for Go Plus support, but if you notice anything major, be sure to let the community know!

And now...



How was your week in PokeGo?

What do you find effective against Snorlax? The gym here usually has either a Vaporeon (which I can defeat with grass Pokemon) or a Snorlax in it. Every time I try to fight the Snorlax I do minor damage and then it crushes me.

The current gym meta is pretty tough. The best counters against snorlax are fighting types (hard to get high cps where I live though! Don't know about Australia) & wigglytuff. I've also had success with vaporeon. Regardless you must dodge. Especially if the defending snorlax has hyperbeam. That charge attack is too strong & if you get hit, you'll be flattened. I know dodging is difficult on some people's phones but your gym battling goes much better if you can dodge well.

You can use 2-3 Fighting Pokémon, like inkstone said; they do increased damage -- but like her the only ones I have are very low-HP.

Yesterday, taking down that Level 8 Mystic Gym they keep stacking, I gave up on refined fights and just bashed the Snorlax with Vaporeons...and, like inkstone says, I started to use Dodge, with okay results.
