A Physical Lapras?

[Deoxys Ribonuke]

Considering that Lapras' Base stats for Attack and Sp. Attack are the same (85), then do you think I could pull off a Physical-fighting Lapras?

I could give her the moves Avalanche and Waterfall for STAB. Avalanche would be somewhat effective, considering her Speed isn't the best stat in the world, ESPECIALLY if I gave her a Brave Nature.

I dunno, do you think I could pull this off?

[skyswellow]

yeah maybe you could try it

[Deoxys Ribonuke]

Oh, wow, I just realized this might not work; It goes last nonetheless, and you have to take damage in order to get the full effect, and Lapras can't learn taunt. Oh well, it was worth a try...

[skyswellow]

yes it was but you can defy belief in other ways

[Lucavi]

Waterfall is probably the only physical move you'd consider in Lapras, since Ice Beam will be better than Avalanche in 99% of the cases

Lapras @ Life orb
Lonely nature
~ Substitute
~ Dragon Dance
~ Waterfall
~ Ice Beam

Bleh. If Metagross didn't wall it badly, and if Lapras wasn't weak to Stealth rock, it'd be usable

[Deoxys Ribonuke]

Ahhh, okay. Thanks ^_^

What would be the best Moveset for a SPECIAL Lapras now, may I inquire?

~ Surf
~ Ice Beam
~ Sing
~ Thunderbolt / Protect
@ Leftovers

Lapras kind of sucks now.
