Best counter to Lapras?
I have used a number of different options vs Lapras in enemy gyms. So far I have found Arcanine (fire attacks) to be most effective and Machamp to be effective enough (with Karate Chop & Stone Edge). Any better options?

My favorite counter is Machamp. I know a lot of people aren't fans of him, but I find him with cross chop to be more than effective when combined with his bulk.
Arcanine is probably best counter, and I prefer bite over fire fang. Bite is quicker with a better EPS, so it charges fire blast quicker.
Other options are bulky pokemon that do neutral damage. As mentioned, Wigglytuff is a good option, and I use my poison jab/sludge wave Muk.
Poliwrath with mud shot/submission is a good option too, but like Machamp, he lacks in damage.
