Lapras... 87% fb/b or 89% is/ib?

87% Lapras cp1671 fb/b
89% Lapras cp1677 is/ib

Lvl 33 trainer. I'm in Arizona and don't see Lapras wild. I've had great luck hatching though and have 5 on my team (1 IS/IB already powered to lvl 30, and 2 w/ dragon pulse). I don't like partial power ups, and I have the resources to take one of them to level 30.

My notable mons in use or waiting to be powered up.

Attackers:
80% Dragonite cp3079 db/dp
91% Vaporeon cp2843 wg/hp
93% Vaporeon cp2838 wg/hp
98% Golem cp2682 shot/se
91% Alakazam cp2580 pc/p
96% Arcanine cp2558 ff/f
91% Exeggutor cp2530 zh/sb
93% Jolteon cp2449 ts/t
91% Arcanine cp2397 ff/fb

87% Lapras cp1671 fb/b
96% Golem cp1659 shot/se
93% Charizard cp1519 wa/f
91% Gengar cp1474 sc/sb
93% Jolteon cp1549 ts/tb
82% Dratini cp471

Defenders:
96% Rhydon cp2981 rs/se
89% Vaporeon cp2828 wg/at
80% Snorlax cp2812 zh/bs
100% Exeggutor cp2687 c/p
96% Exeggutor cp2624 c/p
89% Lapras cp2531 is/ib
96% Slowbro cp2269 c/p
91% Poliwrath cp2181 b/hp

96% Gyarados cp1861 b/dp
96% Snorlax cp1717 zh/bs
89% Lapras cp1677 is/ib
85% Dragonite cp2008 sw/dc
96% Chansey cp 1173 p/dg

So... Which Lapras would you want first, the attacker or defender?

Thanks!

Defender first, so you can start putting it in gyms! You can get buy with that Attacking Lapras and Cloysters if you have them. I debated the same thing, I powered up my Defensive Laprases first one with IS/IB and other with IS/BL.

It looks like you have a defender Lapras at 2531 already with is/ib. If you have one to defend, then get one to attack with. No need to use a Lapras to prestige, as cloyster works in that role.

I'm assuming your resource limitation is your lapras candy. If it is dust, there is a snorlax defender than needs it first.

Definitely the candies. Yeah, I'm anxious to get to that snorlax! He's sitting on 26 candies

Defender first, no question about it. Attacking Lapras is nice to have, but totally unnecessary with cloyster so easy to come by. Basically the same ATK stats, more potion efficient, and you don't need very high CP to take down even 3500 dragonites.

You're very fortunate to have an 89% IS/IB Lapras. Such a beast.

I prefer attacking Dragonite with Dragonite than Lapras.
You kill them much faster. Obsiouvly you die faster but I have several offensive dragonites and a lot of potion/revive so I dont mind.

So I would go for this beauty of 89% IS/IB.

I would actually max out all the defenders you listed.
Poliwrath and slowbro are low on CP but htey are good defenders and I love them.
Gyarados is a bad defender but maxing one B/DP is fine for when you need a high cp one.

I would definitely power up the Lapras with a beasty defending move set of IS-IB...???
