Here is my article, it is kinda long buy I feel that it covers all
aspects of Snorlax.

Snorlax- The Great Equalizer or The Great Eulogy?

Pros:
     Alright, as the name implies, I think Snorlax is the GREATEST thing
since sliced bread.  Well maybe not that great but still, he is still an
excellent edition to a deck that can support his appetite.  First let me
say that I've read all of the articles saying that "I can see no use for
Snorlax", well for all of you nay sayers Snorlax is the answer to my
prayers against those
!@$^@$@%@#% Psychics.

     My Rain Dance Deck, Tidal Surge, has always had one fatal
flaw....it gets torn to shreds by Psychic decks.  I've on more than one
occasion had a fully powered up bench and decked myself because my
opponent hid behind a Haunter and just kept using Hypnosis.  Before I go
any further, I would like to state that yes my deck is insanely
sesceptible to sleep and other attacks because I centered my trainers
around getting my Blastoises out there and powered up I ran out of space
for potions and full heals.  Well back to Snorlax.  While I did a major
overhaul on my deck(Going from 1 Colorless energy and a Chansey to 4
Farfetch'd, 2 Snorlaxs, and 4 Double
Colorless energy) I've found Snorlax has stopped all psychics dead.

     His attack Body Slam, is in my opinion, the answer to the lowest
and foulest of all decks...the Refit Damage Swap deck.  Coupled with
Mr.Mime ALL of us have to know the horrors of the new Damage Swap
decks.  Let's look at how Snorlax fairs against Damage Swap decks.

Mr.Mime- Can't touch Snorlax.  Invisible Wall is tough, but Snorlax can
kill Mr.Mime in three turns if the coin falls properly.  Even if it
doesn't, Snorlax's health can keep him quite hardy....if Mr. Crap, I
mean Mr. Mime, could harm him.

Alakazam- Snorlax's greatest advantage, Confuse Ray doesn't do one
thing.  Snorlax also can kill Alakazam in three turns, and if paralayzed
Alakazam can't damage swap.

Chansey- The one that can hurt Snorlax, if a moron used a damage swap
deck and sent out the Chansey he was using, it would be hurt and have no
energy.  One or two Body Slams and it would be gone.

  All test data on the results against a Damage Swap deck is based on my
encounters with my friends Damage Swap Deck, and theory...ie Chansey.
Also note, these results are subject to error because my friends deck is
not as highly developed as those I have encountered in a recent tourney.

Cons:
     Now I'm my own alter-ego, the one that doesn't like Snorlax.  I
won't waste space and I'll be frank and to the point.  Snorlax is a
giant, as we all know.  With his huge retreat cost and energy
requirements he is stranded out in the active role, unless someone plays
a GOW and brings something else out.  Also, the huge energy support, 4
basic energy or 2-4 double colorless, takes up valuable room in your
deck that can be used for other trainers.  His last problem is his
weakness is his, well, weakness.  Haymaker decks are popping up
everywhere and fighting is a common type.  Also with his jungle friends,
fighting got a badly needed boost in diversity(3 New Evolutionary
Chains) make fighting much more efficient.  With more efficient attacks,
Snorlax doesn't stand a chance.

     Alright, I think I have highlighted both sides of the coin.  Hope
this was in depth enough, I've theorized how to put Snorlax to the best
use for a while now.  Well hope I didn't step on any toes, and if I did
I'd love to hear other opinions and/or uses on how people use or think
of Snorlax
