Celebi @ Leftovers
Ability: Natural Cute
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Giga Drain
- Psychic
- Dazzling Gleam / Shadow Ball
- Nasty Plot
Celebi is a rather swell partner for CB Snorlax for a variety of reasons. First off, it's typing allows it to check a slew of threats to Snorlax, most prominently, Fighting-types such as Mienshao and Conkeldurr. Secondly, Snorlax is a functional non-Superpower Hydreigon check due to its massive special bulk and Fire check towards Entei and Chandelure, the latter of which can be trapped with Pursuit. It's also worth mentioning that Shadow Ball Celebi variants are able to lure in Bronzong, a solid check to both of these Pokemon. Lastly, Snorlax is deceptively powerful and it softens up defensive teams to assist Celebi in breaking them down much more efficiently. So all in all, Celebi is a fantastic partner that really appreciates the support Snorlax offers.

Lucario @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Extreme Speed
- Bullet Punch
Some of Lucario's most common checks on offensive teams are Ghost-types and Cobalion. CB Snorlax can trap Chandelure with Pursuit and weaken Doublade, Cobalion, and Sableye with Earthquake, increasing the chances of a Lucario sweep vs offense. Lax also checks Nidoqueen (soft lucario check) and together the two give a nice offensively-inclined fallback vs Hydreigon. You'll still want something to break fat Psychic-types for Lucario, but otherwise the two make a nice offensive core.

Reuniclus @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
- Trick Room
- Psyshock/Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
Offensive trick room Reuniclus is a great partner for banded snorlax. Snorlax can take advantage of the trick room that Reuniclus sets to wallbreak easier, switch into stuff like most hydreigon sets, sylveon, chandelure and most spattkers that reuniclus has trouble with outside of trick room or even in trick room and can take care of these attackers with a strong stab. Reuniclus can take care of a lot of the steels that snorlax has trouble with as most don't have decent spdef and drop to focus blast or shadow ball in doublade's case. Reuniclus can switch into Fighting types ok but has to watch out for coverage. Between the two, they can break through a lot of the metagame and don't care about status between facade and magic guard. Sorry if this seems choppy I had to write it on mobile. Just wanted to get it in.

Infernape @ Life Orb
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Fire Blast
- Focus Blast
- Grass Knot / Vacuum Wave
NP Infernape is a great offensive partner to CB Lax because it can destroys basically any steel type that might check Snorlax and can use Grass Knot to weaken/kill some fat water types or Vacuum Wave to kill weakened faster mons that might revenge kill Ape like Mienshao. Snorlax can check Chandelure for Infernape and can Pursuit Trap pokemons like Cresselia for Infernape
