Lapras: Ice Beam vs Blizzard
Hey guys,
Silly question here. I just hatched my second Lapras, 73% IV, with Frost breath and Blizzard. I have another one with higher IV (89%) but with Ice Beam for its charge move. I ended up investing all the candies into that first one (she now sits at 2117 CP).
This second hatch gave me another 28 candies and I was wondering whether or not to keep powering up my Ice Beam Lapras or start investing on the new girl with optimal moveset.
Any advice you guys have will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ice beam and blizzard are both great charge attacks offensively and defensively. What makes a Lapras a better defender is really it's quick attack. Ice shard deals more damage defensively.
That being said, Lapras is a great defender with any movese.
If I were you I'd keep posting up the one with ice beam and use it as a main defender while keeping the one with blizzard just high enough to be able to take down 2-3 dragonites in a row. I think 1800-1900 should do. It's very useful as is already.
It's a good question and I can argue both sides - one big devastating attack vs. a semi-spam of very strong attack. The case for Blizzard is that the animation is confusing to some and many folks are not good at dodging it / don't think it can be dodged. If you get hit with Blizzard, it's almost game over...
Honestly, I'd be happy with either but my main defensive Lapras is IS / Blizzard.
