Guide
Start with Whirlpool to instantly start dishing out damage. This move is extremely broken at levels 1-4, so use excessively. Leveling up doesn't matter quite as much since Lapras doesn't evolve, so focus more on scoring small goals to max out your Sp. Atk. Specs as soon as possible. This will allow you to start dealing huge damage with Water Pulse (level 5). Paired with Slick Spoon, which always ignores some of the opponent's Sp. Def., this will create an even bigger boom Lapras.
Use Ice Shard/Ice Beam to trap opponents so you can deal more damage with Whirlpool or Water Pulse while they're frozen. This is especially useful because both Whirlpool and Water Pulse deal more damage the longer opponents are in range. You can also use this to gain advantage against a single opponent to score.
Use X Speed to chase down opponents to secure KO's with Water Pulse, or use it as an escape plan.
Use Lapras Express to pull low-health teammates out of battle so they can continue later. (Do not overuse.)
I never use any defender without Focus Band. It's extremely useful when it comes to staying alive, which is what defenders are for.
This build works best with white and green emblems. Try not to nerf your HP or Sp. Atk. with your emblems. If you have extra room, use blue and/or purple emblems to boost your Defense or Sp. Def.
