Lapras

Lapras (Japanese: ラプラス Laplace) is a very large sea Pokemon that resembles a plesiosaur. Its skin is mostly blue but has darker blue spots and a cream/white colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curly shaped ears. So, this dragon evolution Lapras is way too good against the Pokemon that has a weakness towards one particular type of Moveset but I think you would find it downside with the other important details.

It has a long neck, four flippers, and a rounded head. The foremost flippers are larger than the back which eases the mobility in the water. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs covering them.

As a Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes much larger and its shells resemble a cruise ship with four gray and red stripes surrounding it. Its eyes have a yellow, blue, and white color scheme.

Lapras travel in large pods across the seas, spanning both polar and tropical areas.

In  The Lost Lapras, Ash and his friends saved a baby Lapras from a trio of thugs, and then again from Team Rocket. Ash caught these Lapras and mostly used them as transportation between the islands of the Orange Archipelago. It was returned to its family in Viva Las Lapras. Ash’s Lapras became the leader of the herd in their appearance in Lapras of Luxury.

How To Evolve?

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokemon, Lapras has a Gigantamax form. It introduced in Generation 1.

How Much Useful Is My Lapras?

It is a useful bulky Ice-type attacker in the game.  There are many Dragon-type Pokemon in gyms and raids, and Lapras can be a decent choice to take them down. Some of them have a double weakness to ice type attacks, and this is where Lapras comes useful.

It has great bulk and Stamina and taking it down won’t be an easy task. There are better gym defenders, but it is still a decent choice to leave in a gym. For those gym attackers with Dragon-type generalists, facing a Lapras will probably force them to switch fearing its Ice-type moveset.

Lapras Weaknesses

It is weak against Fighting, Rock, Electric, and Grass

The strong Pokemons against Lapras are Lucario, Zekrom, Rampardos, Deoxys (Attack), Deoxys (Normal).

Well, do you think that the Lapras Evolution can suffice your needs in the game after going through its weakness, Moveset, stats, and more? If yes then you should run down to the Lapras Evolution!

But if still, you think that you may find some better Moveset, stats, and less unhealthy weakness with the help of evolution other than of Lapras, then Herald Journalism has information stocked for that purpose.
