Snorlax @ Leftovers
Careful Nature
Ability: Immunity
EVs: 80 HP / 188 Def / 240 SpD
- Curse
- Body Slam
- Counter
- Protect

Feast your eyes on the king of Normal-types and being round: Snorlax! Body Slam's paralysis chance allows Snorlax to potentially dispose of offensive checks such as Kyogre and Groudon. Thanks to Counter, it can easily remove foes such as Metagross and Choice Band Rayquaza, which would otherwise beat it. Protect is extremely important, as it allows Snorlax to gain more Leftovers recovery and also guards it from rogue Explosion users such as Forretress, Metagross, and Mew. The Defense EVs prevent +1 Snorlax from getting 2HKOed by Choice Band Metagross's Meteor Mash and +2 defensive Groudon's Earthquake and getting OHKOed by Spell Tag Deoxys-A's Superpower. Aerodactyl and Deoxys-A both appreciate Snorlax removing Groudon and Metagross with Counter. Latios and Latias can answer Kyogre and Groudon, two foes that unboosted Snorlax hates facing. Mewtwo can offensively pressure Metagross and Ho-Oh by forcing them to switch in on it.

Groudon is a fantastic of Counter, however it is a bit sketchy as they can choose to get up multiple SDs if they really wanted to. Removing Groudon for anything like Aerodactyl or a Deo-A of your own makes this a great enabler of those mons, and especially since you mentioned it beating Ray/Meta, 2 great Deo-A answers. I'd mention Deo-A as a partner somewhere. Switching Skarm into Deo-A off of Snorlax is almost like a death sentence. It'll absorb a CB Superpower from full, sure, but you have to know it is CB first before you even think about making that play. I'd just rework the phrasing on that. Everything else looks good here.

Feast your eyes on the king of Normal-types: Snorlax! This round fella doesn't mess around as its spherical body is built to last for a long time while boosting its Attack and Defense with Curse.(discussed over disc) Body Slam's paralysis chance allows Snorlax to easily potentially dispose of opponents who aim to offensively check it,(RC) offensive checks such as Kyogre and Groudon. Thanks to Counter, it can easily remove foes such as Metagross and Choice Band Rayquaza,(AC) who which would otherwise be able to beat it. Protect is extremely important,(AC) as it not only provides allows Snorlax to gain more Leftovers recovery but also insulates Snorlax and also guards it from rogue Explosion users such as Forretress, Metagross, and Mew who can't deal with it otherwise. The Defense EVs provided ensure that Choice Band Metagross' Meteor Mash and +2 defensive Groudon's Earthquake never 2HKO after 1 Curse boost, with Spell Tag Deoxys-A also being unable to OHKO with Superpower.

you know it's bad when DC doesn't say "lmk if you disagree with any of these changes". Sorry!
