When facing his {{p|Lapras}}, be careful of its {{m|Blizzard}} move, which now has perfect accuracy. {{type2|Electric}} attacks are probably your best bet, though it may pay off to use an overly-powerful move like {{m|Hyper Beam}} to knock it out. If you choose to attack with {{type2|Fighting}} moves, avoid using a Fighting-type Pokémon, because of Lapras' {{m|Psychic}} attack.  As {{ga|Red}}'s lowest-leveled Pokémon (at level 80!), {{m|Brine}} can inflict double the damage if you attack it first.

Like {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Snorlax}} is only weak against attacks of a single type; in this case, the {{type2|Fighting}}.  Being a {{type2|Normal}}, it also knows attacks that you may not expect — {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Crunch}}. Luckily, Snorlax has quite low [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]], so Shadow Ball should not deal too much damage, but Crunch is quite powerful. This means that you can't expect to use a {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to help you take it down.  Its {{m|Giga Impact}} move is an variation of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but also forces it to rest for a turn.  In addition, it is the third of {{ga|Red}}'s Pokémon that can call in the {{m|Blizzard|bone-chilling snowstorm}}, making it even more essential to defeat it as soon as possible.  Moves like {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Superpower}} will be the most damaging. Because of its lower [[Stats#Defense|Defense]], it is a good idea to stick to Physical attacks.
