47948201 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Really, I've never seen a build that prioritizes defense over special defense (which Lapras already has) despite the threat of fighting/rock opponents. If Lapras' main non-sweeping purpose is to stall, wouldn't you want a way to survive against fighting-type counters? (I'd include rock-types but at least they're like grass and can be swept, I guess) I dunno, I probably don't know what I'm talking about, but I just found that odd. But maybe my idea of boltbeam+whirlpool/perishsong Lapras with high HP and I don't know what the heck else is really dumb, but I can't be bothered to get a Avalanche on this (unless it can learn it via TM or leveling in X/Y?) *shrug* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Curse generally goes well with Pokémon with high Special Defense such as Lapras, Muk or Snorlax among others. Bulk Up users also sometimes want to invest in special Defense even if it's not that high such as Conkeldurr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
47948201 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 So in the case of Curse, it's better to have high SDef and compensate for low Def with boosting than have mediocre SDef but high Def that compounds with boosting? But since I don't know how to get Avalanche in X/Y, would it be okay to...Uh, do this?Max HP, high SDef, little bit of Attack Waterfall, Ice Shard, Curse, Rest/Perishsong? Waterfall for sweeping and Ice Shard for a little extra STAB type coverage that doesn't care about cursed speed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
