PVE Offensive Moves Explanation
-
Frost Breath and Ice Shard are both great go-to Ice-type options for offense.
-
Water Gun should be paired with Hydro Pump, but is undesired, as Lapras’s niche is in its STAB Ice-type moves.
-
Blizzard is on par with Ice Beam; the choice is down to personal preference.
-
Hydro Pump performs similarly to Surf, akin to the above Ice-type charge moves.
- Dragon Pulse and Skull Bash are clearly the worst options due to lack of STAB and meaningful coverage.
PVE Defensive Moves Explanation
-
Ice Shard edges out Frost Breath with respect to defensive DPS and energy gain.
-
Water Gun suffers from rock-bottom base power.
-
Hydro Pump is both powerful and difficult to react to, and Lapras has the bulk to use it.
-
Blizzard has the same high base power as Hydro Pump, but it’s easier to dodge.
-
Surf and Ice Beam have similar damage windows, but Ice Beam is much stronger.
- Dragon Pulse and Skull Bash are underwhelming due lack of STAB and late damage windows.
PVE Overview
New generations mean new additions to the bulky Ice and Water type families, and Lapras now faces tough competition from many great Pokemon that greatly outclass it. Many of Lapras’s good moves are also Elite, being replaced by moves such as Surf that it doesn’t benefit from.
This is not to say Lapras is no longer relevant; its HP is still exceptional, and its Water / Ice dual typing threatens both Grass and Fire-type counters, leaving few “correct” answers when attacking a Lapras that's defending a gym.
All things considered, Lapras is still a decent option for defense, backing up impressive bulk with an ability to give its “counters” a hard time. On offense, however, it's fully fallen from relevance due to the release of big names in both of its types. It's generally best to not invest in a Lapras for the PvE meta.
