Lapras Duo Advice
I would like to go for a Lapras duo recently, but not sure if my team will qualify. I have 3 maxed Machamp, ADS 151514 C/DP, 151511 C/DP and 141311 KC/DP. Lacking any leveled up Raikou (out of 10 only 2 of them know Wild Charge, which are both from research with awkward iv), my hope remains on the Clear weather boosts. I have 2 maxed K-Eggy, a perfect one with Confusion/Solar Bean and the other 141315 with BS/Seed Bomb. I also have a maxed 151115 Venusaur with VW/Solar Beam (missed its CD, no FP). Those I would consider to be the most relevant counters. Besides, I also have a level 35 BS/LB Sceptile, 2 BS/Seed Bomb A-Eggy both between level 30 and level 35 (only shine facing double water Lapras) and a maxed perfect Zapdos with CB/ZC. Right now I'm Ultra friend with my wife, whose team content is similar to mine but a little weaker (on lower level). Do you think we could be able to duo it? What if we reach the Best friend tier?

I did a duo with my daughter in cloudy weather once, and we won with 30 seconds left. We used 3-4 Machamps each, and filled out our teams with C/DP Hariyamas. That's the most straightforward way to do a duo.
I don't think your team will do it in clear weather. The BS/SeB and C/SoB Eggys are just not good enough. They need BS/SoB to be viable. The Sceptile and SoB Venusaur are borderline.
Cloudy weather makes it pretty easy, but it's tougher in clear weather, and I don't think you are quite there yet.
