No not from a raid, caught it almost a year ago. Anyway, it has Ice shard/ Blizzard. FB/IB seems like the best moves now but I can't get Ice Shard back. What TMs to use?

I'm in a same boat. 91% iv, is/b. I decided to max it and lvl another with fb/b, maybe 3rd shall be fb/ib

I'm keeping my IS/Blizzard as well. I've got it up to 2362 and plan to power it up further at some point since it is my highest cp lapras.

I've decided to keep fb/dragon pulse as well. Still useful versus dragonite and maybe ice types as well if I can ever spare the resources to get it past 2280.

Save it. Ice Shard was the best defensive quick move (and still is, just defense isn't worth much). It's not far behind Frost Breath, just a little slower and a little less energy, but works way better with the Gym AI. And we don't know what the future will bring - PvP, breeding, or something else. Finally, a Quick TM could leave you with WaterGun, requiring another to get to Frost Breath. Not worth it, to spend on average 1.5 QTMs for a small gain.

My 100% Lapras (hatched like all 4 of mine) has WG/Blizzard. An easy fix to FB/B with a Quick TM, when I have enough of them to spare one for that. My highest level Lapras has IS/BZ. More at issue is getting candy to bump her up to level 31.

I have a lapras with same moveset as you. I will go for IS/IB. And I actually do that by using 3 charge TMs. Hope it helps.

I suggest you save your resources and do not use it on Lapras. Lapras is not a top-tier attacker now. Among ice-type attackers, Articuno is obviously better and also attainable, and Jynx deals damage much faster although with lower bulk.

Cloyster is also very good, with decent bulk. (I wonder why people call Cloyster a glass cannon).

I have only 1 IS/IB Lapras, but with 0 attack stat. I don't have any other IS Laprases.
I have a 88% Lapras with almost 2k CP, but with WG/HP.

If not for the risk of getting Hydro Pump, I would use a charge TM on my Ice Shard/Blizzard Lapras. Don't have enough charge TMs though to be able to waste several trying to get Ice Beam.
