Question

I'm thinking one with Water Absorb EV trained in Defense, HP, and Sp. Attack. I'm thinking for moves:

Surf: STAB, good power, high accuracy, double damage against foes using Dive, used to deal with Rock types.

Thunderbolt: Good power, high accuracy, chance to paralyze, deals with other Water types.

Ice Beam: STAB, chance to freeze, good power, high accuracy, type coverage, used to deal with Grass types.

Toxic: Inflicts toxic poison.

Its too bad it can't learn Lock-On to go with Sheer Cold. :P I've been trying to find a Pokemon that learns one of the 1-hit ko moves with Lock-On but I haven't found one yet. And I thought there was another move that guarantees next hit but I can't remember what it was...

Arti cuno can learn Mind Reader (a variation of Lock-On) and Sheer Cold

Answer 1

I Would Put In Rain Dance Instead Of Toxic, To Power Up Surf, Then Add Thunder, Instead of Thunderbolt. This Gives A Powerful Lapras, And He Has The HP, and Defenses to set it up:) I Would Also Have It Hold a Damp Rock, so Rain Dance Lasts Long Enough, So Lapras Does Not Have To Waste Another Turn, Setting it up again. But Toxic Works Great Too, As Lapras is more of a staller.

Other Options: Special Attacks(Since Yours Is Trained in Sp Atk, I wont Even Bother With Physical Moves for it): Psychic(Strong Move, Covers Fighting Weakness), and Dragon Pulse(Though Probably not a good choice, as it only covers 1 type, which is already covered by Ice Beam).

Hope This Helps:)

Answer 2

Role: Rain Sweep Tank thing...

Trait: Hydration

EVs: 108 HP / 200 Def / 200 SDef

• Dragon Dance

A Beasty Gamer named Trachy once said to me, " Water and Normal Makes for Great neutral coverage".

Well, with this set, its not hard to work yourself up 6 Dragon Dances with Rest Hydration combo, So as you can hit neutral. You hit hard.

Also for those who didn't know, This is for use with Rain support.

Lower tier usage.

Politoed is OU, So there's no lower tier usage with this set.

---

Rain Dance is still a move.

---

Not enough to get up 6 Dragon Dances. And it appears as it's meant as Drizzle support.

---

Actually I use this with a Damp Rock user now xD I can normally get off 4 d-dances and a Rest after the switch if I get a good switch in. ( Baton pass + Mean look support ) xD

If using this in OU, you just have to make sure you get rid of big jelly before you start setting up.

Answer 3

Gen V

Lapras (F) @ Leftovers

Trait: Water Absorb

EVs: 252 HP / 72 Atk / 4 SDef / 180 Spd

Adamant Nature (+Atk, -SAtk)

• Ice Shard
• Bulldoze
• Dragon Dance
• Waterfall

Set up a Dragon Dance or two, and you'll be a very powerful bulky sweeper. Waterfall provides STAB, while Ice Shard is priority STAB. Bulldoze is there for type coverage. Leftovers keeps you alive. Water Absorb is the most useful ability, as if you are low on health, you can switch out and then back in on a Water type attack, then set up Dragon Dance and continue the sweep now that whatever was threatening Lapras is gone. EVs give you bulk, as well as a nice base to work off of for sweeping after Dragon Dance.

Surf and Blizzard are STAB that hit multiple foes. Dragon Pulse can hit any foe ina Triple Battle. Thunderbolt is coverage.

Answer 6

I think Lapras should have the item Leftovers.

And the ability should be Water Absorb.

Moveset:

Ice beam
Body Slam
