How Lapras plays

All aboard the Lapras Express! Lapras rides a wave—increasing its movement speed—and a teammate can hop on for a ride. If Lapras hits an opposing Pokémon, Lapras stops in place and throws them. But if Lapras Express is used again while it’s still in motion, Lapras can instead launch the wave to throw opposing Pokémon.

Builds 3

Recommended held items, battle items and move paths for Lapras.

Water Pulse + Any (Damage)

Path Damage

Held items

Alternative: Focus Band

Battle item

Alternative: Potion

Move path

  1. Whirlpool
  2. Ice Shard
  3. Water Pulse
Either Move 2 (Beam move) may be used depending on enemy composition. This set up emphasizes damage. Curse Incense can be swapped for Drive Lens or Wise Glasses for the highest raw damage output but is not advised to lose a Curse effect applicator on the team unless the team already is running 5 anti-heal items, as anti-heal is "hidden damage"

Perish Song (Damage)

Path Tank

Held items

Alternative: Wise Glasses

Battle item

Alternative: Potion

Move path

  1. Whirlpool
  2. Ice Shard
  3. Perish Song
Either Move 2 (Beam move) may be used depending on enemy composition. This set emphasizes damage and trying to proc Perish Song's additional hit while maximizing Special Attack. Drive Lens or Wise Glasses may be swapped out for Curse Incense and is advised to if there are no Curse item users on the team since anti-heal is a method to keep targets low enough for Perish Song to execute.

Moves 5

Both upgrade branches are shown for each move — you only pick one.
