Best Ice Attacker

Submit Feedback or Error

I've read various comparisons of ice attacks, and it led me to max out a Piloswine. However now I'm wondering about how it really compares to Lapras, Cloyser, Jynx?

Here's what I have, and how I'd rank them at this point. Let me know if you disagree or agree. Goal is to use Ice moves to take out Dragonites.
1) Piloswine Lvl 32, IV 73, IS/Aval.
2) Piloswine Lvl 21, IV 60, IS/Aval.
3) Lapras Lvl 20, IV 72, FB/Ice Beam
4) Lapras Lvl 17, IV 53, IS/Ice Beam
5) Cloyster Lvl 20, IV 93, FB/Blizz
6) Cloyster Lvl 27, IV 78, FB/Icy Wind
7) Jynx Lvl 20, IV 82, FB/Ice Punch
8) Jynx Lvl 20, IV 73, Conf/Psyshock
aaaand 3 Smoochums...

Should I power up the Laprases (Laprii?) to level 30? or Power up another Piloswine? I'm thinking Laprases to add some excitement... thoughts?

edit: thanks for the comments so far. I've gone ahead and made #3 a level 25 Lapras. Now I need more candy...

It comes down to your dodging skills. Lapras can take a lot more hits and isnt weak to steel wing. fb/ib is my ideal moveset.

Side note, I have decided Lapras plural is Lapras, same as sheep.

All mons' plurals are the same as their singular form, like sheep.

Though 1-7 are all decent ice attackers, FB Lapras is hands down the best if they were all at the same level.

For your ice mons, as a best sweeper against dragonites, but slowest, lapras. If u want the fastest ice attacker, it's a jynx, but she can't sweep that many dragonites. Somewhere in between them will be the cloyster. Dun have an appropriate piloswine to test out yet.

Other contenders can be dragonites, or even DT/OR gyarados. But there's one clear contender for the absolute best sweeper against dragonites if u dun care abt the time ;)

I used a DB/Bliz seadra the other day to prestige. It worked better than expected.

I like this vid...but I can imagine a Pound/DG Blissey would do even better into Dragonites.

Yes...but DG has 2 hits of 100 each, and HB has 1 hit of 150, so for a full charge bar you do more damage with DG and you usually have less charge loss with multi bar attacks.

I think some other guy ran analysis and claim that Pound/DG blissey is actually slightly worse than Pound/HB on offense for the dragons. Also it is different from Funkysho's results, the other dude managed to go through 5 dragonites but Funkysho managed 4 (with pound HB).

Nonetheless, Blissey is an absolute tank if you can put up with how slow it is.

Cloister is the most potion efficient one, but due to the dodging lag I prefer to attack with Lapras.

My understanding of the piloswine hype was that he is an easy to use prestiger. He has a great ice moveset, his base stamina makes him somewhat tanky with any IV spread, and he is so easy to evolve to a desireable CP range for prestiging.

Lol them ice moves on nr 8.

Lapras has a lot of HP, and is not weak against steel.
so nr 3/4would be very good. Cloyster is also powerfull, but i would prefer 1 with avalanche.
Don't know how piloswine with IC does, i have several with PS, but a level 30+ dragonite with DT/Hu destroys it, especially with the dodge bug.

There is a great video with side by side x 6 comparison of attackers against Dragonite. In summary, your FB/IB Lapras is best, followed by your FB/Blizzard Cloyster.
