Hi, Lapras still worth to cost dust?
Today I caught one, iv 96! fb/blizzard.
but only lvl 18.
Lapras now nerfed, so still worth to power up? I have only 30 candies now but I can walk if it is necessary.
Thank you.

As was said, If you don't have any good ice attackers, you should power it up. If you do, then don't. FB/Bliz is the best attacking moveset, and a 1500 Lapras can take out a 2500 Dragonite. Also, if there are no Dragonites in gyms in your area, the need is minimal.
Lapras/Ice is also good against grass, ground, and flying (as well as dragon), so things like Gligar and Celebi (eventually) could be weak to it.
Powering it up is up to you. It does in fact have a ideal moveset for attacking especially into dnites but you could also just use a lower cp ice type or even a fairy type and not have a problem so it's a matter of if you wanna power it up or not. I wouldn't use it as a gym defender though unless you plan to max him out but even then it's not worth it since that moveset is better for attacking not defending
Thats a great move set for attacking Dragonites. If you don't have a Lapras already then definitely power it up. I still use my 89% FB/B lapras that I maxed as one of my primary attackers and he will eat up a Dragonite no problem. I got a second one with the same moves but it's only 82% so I have elected not to power it for now because I don't have the candies and I have higher priorities for my buddy.
If you don't have one already juice that sucker up. I caught one months ago even smaller with IV62 IS/B and max it every time I level up. Now CP2202 it smashes the first 3 or 4 out of a gym, or the top beastie. Have only ever caught two so had to walk 360km so far.
If you have a decent one already probably better to use as is and put those 5km candies into Larvitar.
