Lapras Power up
Hi trainers,
I have 3 Lapras looking for advice on which to power to level 30.
1. Iv 96% FB/IB
2. Iv 89% FB/Bliz
3. Iv 100% WG/Bliz
All are level 20. Thanks

Mixed-type W/B is unfortunately not good for attacking Dragonite so I wouldn't invest anything in it no matter what its IVs.
Both F/I and F/B are good for attacking. Blizzard does a bit more damage, but Ice Beam can be used more often with less wasted energy and damage.
If you ever fight enemy gyms with other players, the benefits of multi-bar charge moves far outweigh the extra damage of one bar moves. Two players unleashing both their 100 energy moves at the same time to obliterate a defender is usually overkill and a lot of wasted damage potential.
I would power up the no. 1. FB/BZ is slightly better than FB/IB, but the difference in IV is quite a gap and 96% IV lapras is super rare. I would not even consider the no. 3. The only thing lapras is still good at is attacking dragonites and we know water-type moves deal ineffective damage to dragon-type mons.
