Do you have Machamps, Dragonites, Tyranitars with sub-optimal moves?

Changed my 95% Lapras from WG/HP into FB/IB. Didn't have a good Lapras before.

No way! I prefer IB over Blizzard but either way both are good.

One of my first hatches in this game was a Lapras IS/IB. I do have a IS/B, as well. Anyways, out of the two, I like Ice Beam on Lapras because it's a two bar move, so it hits twice. Unlike Blizzard which is a single move and it only hits once. If you put Lapras in a gym, it's 100% guaranteed to hit you once with an Ice Beam. The same cannot be said about Blizzard. Same thing with attacking. I would not do it. You're suppose to use your TM's to make your Pokemon drastically better. I don't know that going from IB to Blizzard does that.

I don't think Lapras should be your top priority for a TM there are so many other mons that you could use it on. Especially because your Lapras isn't bad, what if you get HP?

No, if I was going to TM a lap's charge move, I would change blizzard to ice beam, not the other way around

I believe Ice Beam is Lapras Best Charge move on both Attack and Defense

Ice Beam is situationally better and you risk getting Hydro Pump.
