Lapras

Lapras is an unviable choice in PU. Despite decent stats and a passable offensive movepool letting it function as a rather threatening Choice Specs user, it is wholly outclassed by Jellicent; besides having the same Special Attack and Speed stats and a similar ability in Water Absorb, Jellicent has a broader offensive movepool and a considerably better defensive typing that lets it check prominent threats that force Lapras out, such as Primeape and Gurdurr. Jellicent's rich support movepool, which includes Taunt, Recover, and Trick Room, also allows it to run other offensive sets successfully without being constrained to Choice Specs. Lapras is also heavily outclassed by other offensive Water- and Ice-types such as Ludicolo, Aurorus, and Jynx which are considerably more threatening and can provide utility in weather, entry hazards, and speed control, making them much easier to fit on teams.
