Is Lapras or Gyarados better for an HG/SS playthrough?

Nov. 23, 2020

Lapras has a Gentle Nature and Gyarados has an Impish Nature.

Edit: Thanks everyone, judging from the pros and cons I’ll go Gyarados. Thank you guys!

Gyarados' cons can be overcome by Mamoswine. If you need to use both Surf and Waterfall efficiently, then go for Lapras. Otherwise, Gyarados.

Either is pretty good, but I recommend Gyarados. You currently have one on your team, and Lapras is a little tricky to get. Gyarados also has more offensive capabilities, which is better in a game of hyper offense. While Gyarados gets very few Flying moves, your Crobat can use Flying moves effectively in its place.

Hope I helped!
