Snorlax is appreciated by bulkier builds because it walls prominent special wallbreakers like Kyurem, Choice Specs Aegislash, and Dragapult and can function as a late-game sweeper with Curse. Additionally, Snorlax is great at taking advantage of one of the most prominent Pokemon in the tier, Clefable. Rest is crucial so Snorlax can consistently switch into Pokemon such as Choice Specs Aegislash and Kyurem and can't be hampered by status from the likes of Toxapex, Hex Dragapult, and Rotom-H. Heat Crash is the preferred last move because it lets Snorlax beat Corviknight and gives it coverage for other Steel-types like Aegislash, Excadrill, and Ferrothorn. Thick Fat is used over Immunity, since it allows Snorlax to better handle Kyurem as well as Rotom-H and Chandelure; however, be careful, as Chandelure can cripple Snorlax with Trick.

Fighting-types like Terrakion, Conkeldurr, and Kommo-o are troublesome for Snorlax to deal with, so answers to them like Dragapult, physically defensive Clefable, and Toxapex are useful. Clefable also offers cleric support. In return, Snorlax is an effective answer to Ghost-type wallbreakers like opposing Dragapult and Choice Specs Aegislash and takes great pressure off Clefable by switching into foes like Kyurem it'd normally be relied on to take on. Similarly, Fire-weak Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Corviknight benefit from Snorlax checking foes such as Rotom-H and Chandelure.

Snorlax is a respectable special wall and potential wincon for bulkier builds that wish to take advantage of its ability to check wallbreakers like Dragapult, Choice Specs Aegislash, and Kyurem and sweep opposing teams. You should definitely put a little more stress on the fact that it can check these wallbreakers, that's really the most appealing thing about Snorlax in my eyes. It can take advantage of the most popular Pokemon in the metagame, Clefable, quite easily too; that may be worth noting as well. Rest is crucial so Snorlax can't be hampered by status from the likes of Toxapex, Hex Dragapult, and Rotom-H and lets it consistently switch into Pokemon such as Choice Specs Aegislash and Kyurem. Switch the mentions around. Consistently switching into Pokemon like Choice Specs Aegislash and Kyurem is more notable than avoiding getting hampered by status in the grand scheme of things. Heat Crash is the preferred last move because it lets Snorlax beat Corviknight and gives it coverage for other Steel-types like Aegislash, Excadrill, and Ferrothorn. Thick Fat is used over Immunity, since it allows Snorlax to better handle Rotom-H and Chandelure, but be careful; they can cripple Snorlax with Trick. Kyurem.

Fighting-types like Terrakion, Conkeldurr, and Kommo-o are troublesome for Snorlax to deal with, so answers to them like Dragapult, defensive Clefable, and Toxapex are useful. You should probably specify physically defensive Clefable; just saying "defensive" doesn't really provide direction. You could also note that Snorlax gives Clefable much more freedom, as it checks the Pokemon Clefable tends to run specially defensive investment for incredibly well. It can also aid Snorlax with Heal Bell or Aromatherapy. In return, Snorlax is an effective answer to Ghost-type wallbreakers like opposing Dragapult and Choice Specs Aegislash. Similarly, Fire-weak Pokemon like Ferrothorn and Corviknight benefit from Snorlax checking foes such as Rotom-H and Chandelure. Dugtrio is also a useful teammate, since it can trap Toxapex, which can remove Snorlax's boosts with Haze.

1/2, good job.
 
Thick Fat is used over Immunity, since it allows Snorlax to better handle Rotom-H, Kyurem, and Chandelure, but be careful; Rotom-H and Chandelure can cripple Snorlax with Trick.

It's definitely worth emphasising Kyurem here since it's definitely the hardest to handle of the three; I'd also remove heater from the trick mentions here because let's be real, no one is ever running trick on heater anymore since the standard boots set is just so much better than every other set. If you really want to keep rotom in as a mention, it's could be worth mentioning washer instead, but it's just so much easier to drop the mention and leave it at that.

takes great pressure off of Clefable by switching into foes like Dragapult it'd normally be relied on to.

I feel like it's much more important to mention kyurem here considering how much more difficult that thing is to handle compared to pult.

Rest looks fine, QC 2/2
