MetaMons competitive notes
Lapras is a water/ice-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward HP — at 535 BST it is a strong total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a mixed attacking profile. Its Water Absorb ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Lapras. Build around what Lapras actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
