Guide
I actually like using Resonant Guard instead of Focus Band, but PokemonUnite.gg hasn't added it in yet, so I needed a placeholder. I'll do this guide as if Focus Band is still the item I'm using, however.
The build is optimized for coordinated 5-stacks, where stacking items are both difficult and risky to use. So, while you could use stacking items instead, I find it best to use items like these.
Since Snorlax is very team-oriented, I don't usually like playing it in solo q. Because of this, EXP Share is viable every game, especially since Snorlax is one of the best EXP Share runners in the defender roster. The other items can be swapped out for any of the following:
Resonant Guard
Aeos Cookie
I have not tried Flail, although it seems that it doesn't fill the role of "attacking tank" as advertised, so I don't feel the need to run it. Yawn, however, I have run, and I gotta say, Block is so much better it's not worth running it. However, if you want to run other moves, you can still use the same items, although some attack items may be somewhat viable.
The emblem build below shows some colors that are not the same in-game, so just ignore them and trust me.
