Overview
Snorlax falls prey to Machamp and its fellow pugilists, but it can be reliably duoed only in cloudy weather. In neutral weather between ultra friends, the duo is possible with just the right amount of dodging - you should experiment to find out how much.
Interestingly, Lick + Hyper Beam may be the most difficult moveset. Lick does so little damage that it charges Dynamic Punch slowly, while Hyper Beam does a big chunk of damage at once and can KO Machamp from fairly high HP.
Approach

-
Machamp and Hariyama are the go-to picks vs. any Snorlax moveset

Dodging strategy

Counters
Note: "Good" movesets are not necessarily viable at the level indicated.
