Surf, Psychic, Blizzard, Thunderbolt

Alongside Cloyster and Dewgong, Lapras is one of only 3 Water/Ice Pokémon. And with great HP and good attack, defense and special, Lapras is probably the best of the 3. Other great things about Lapras include the moves she learns. Body Slam, Ice Beam, Hydro Pump, Confuse Ray. All very good moves. However, the move set I am suggesting does not use any of those moves, although if you’re running short on TMs, Body Slam and Confuse Ray are excellent moves as well. Surf gets the 1.25X bonus, as well as Blizzard, and Thunderbolt and Psychic will allow Lapras to be effective against just about every

Move of the Day: Amnesia- PP: 20 “Greatly increases Pokémon’s special abilities. ”

Slowpoke/Slowbro, Poliwag/Poliwhirl, Snorlax and Mewtwo. What do all thse Pokémon have in common? They all learn Amnesia! Amnesia greatly increases a Pokémon’s abilities to use and defend attacks, which depend on the “Special” stat. Out of all of the Pokémon that learn it, Mewtwo is the one who needs it the least. With a max special of 406, Mewtwo can defend and use special attacks with ease. If you teach it to Snorlax, it will help him defend special attacks better, because it is unlikely you’ll teach Snorlax many special moves. As for the Polis and the Slows, it can be used for both defense and attack.

Thunderbolt, Double Team, Body Slam, Reflect

Although most people like to use Jolteon, I suggest Electabuzz as a worthy alternative. Thunderbolt will produce good damage because of his reasonably good special and his Electric type giving him a 1.5X bonus. Reflect will improve his poor defense and Double Team will make him annoying. Body Slam is there for Ground types, which Thunderbolt doesn’t affect. Electabuzz’s attack is reasonably good so Body Slam will produce good damage. If you want an alternative to it, Psychic works. Uses his pretty good special and affects Ground types. So when you start planning your next team, don’t automatically put in Jolteon, think about Electabuzz.
