Blastoise or Lapras for Tank?

Sep. 13, 2016

So I want a tank with Water and Ice moves, I am stuck between either Blastoise or Lapras, which would be the better choice and moveset?

In Gen 6? That would be Blastoise, especially if you have the mega option.

Scald and Rapid Spin and Roar are important. Avalanche is good, because you will be investing no points in ATK or SP. ATK, so having one solid SP. ATK, Scald, and one Solid ATK, Avalanche gives you some key strats. Also, Blasty’s abysmal speed means the Avalanche -4 priority is not a problem at all, so it creates a nice 120 BP Ice Phusical Attack.

Rapid Spin aids your team against counter set ups. Roar helps Blasty stop an opponent from setting up on him AND gets through temp invulnerable situations such as Substitute and Protect.

I’d Personally Use Lapras in all circumstances.

Blastoise is more of a bulky sweeper/ rapid spinner who is very situational.

But Lapras has massive amounts of hp and also has perish song and ice shard to stop low hp sweepers In their tracks.(Lapras gets block too)
