Lapras question.

I'd power it up, but I would do it mostly for countering Dragonite. It's a fine defender if you need it for that though, I just don't put much value in defending these days.

I have a 62% !S/B powered level 33. It is one of my most used attackers. So yeah, yours will be wicked.

If you have the candies why not? I have 2 of them, one with 89%IV at 2356 CP with IS/B, and another one that I got from a raid 96%IV FB/B, I stopped powering up the defensive one and trying to save candies because I have only 22 now, but once I get more candies I want to max them out both.

Would be useful for the eventual Dragonite raid boss due to Lapra's bulk...that said, Jynx and Cloyster would still out DPS Lapras due to Lapras having a rather low Attack stat now...(160 vs 223 for Jynx).

Granbull will probably be the overall best (factoring damage taken) due to SE changes and he 0.51 resisting dragon moves due to Immunity being a fairy type...

I wouldn't spend dust on Lapras for defense (I had 2 maxed earlier) as defending is not necessary anymore.

I'm actually temped to max a Jynx and use as a glass cannon.

Gen 3 has Gardevoir which will probably be the best(?) Fairy type overall with max CP of 2964)...
