- Snorlax is one of the big 3. - It is loved for it's amazing hp stat and insane movepool consisting of both defensive and offensive sets - Snorlax's normal typing aswell as it's high attack stat allows it to abuse STAB. - Also as it has high hp and can learn amnesia, it becomes a very powerful wall in generation 1's special attacking based metagame. |

- Chansey is another 1 of the big 3. - Chansey is considered the special wall of Gen 1 OU - Chansey has a great 105 base special stat and an insane 250 base hp stat - This makes it able to withstand physical attackers and makes it night impossible to die to special attackers - To add salt in the wound it is one of the few pokemon in generation 1 OU that learns a recovery move making it able to heal off all the work you have done to it. |

- Tauros is the last but not least of the big 3. - Tauros being a normal type with a high attack stat like Snorlax allows it to use normal STAB to its advantage. - Due to how generation 1 merged the special attack and special defense, it gets a nice 70 base special stat - This makes it able to also use special moves in its arsenal which it gets alot of. - Unlike snorlax, it has high speed which allows it to outspeed alot of pokemon which threatens its bulk. |

- Rhydon is a great physical wall. - It can wall normal types like snorlax and tauros making it an effective counter if they dont have a move prepared to deal with it - being a physical attacker also allows it to massively hurt special attackers too. - With the right skills Rhydon can become a second snorlax |
