Lapras

Ice

Lapras's great bulk and neutrality to Steel-type attacks lets it serve as an effective Mega Scizor check for Ice teams. Additionally, its part Water typing grants it a neutrality to Fire-type attacks, allowing it to survive a Magma Storm from Heatran and check offensive Pokemon such as Choice Scarf Victini and Blacephalon from full health. With its ability Water Absorb and its access to Freeze-Dry, Lapras can function as a check for Water-types like Toxapex and Azumarill. When equipped with Choice Specs, Lapras is able to break past many defensive Pokemon, such as Mantine, Skarmory, and Armaldo. Unfortunately, Lapras has a terrible Speed stat, making it extremely susceptible to faster wallbreakers like Diggersby and Keldeo. Lapras also faces competition as a Mega Scizor check with Walrein, which has more Special Attack and Speed as well as Thick Fat to gain a Fire resistance. However, Lapras sets itself apart from Walrein due to its access to Freeze-Dry, allowing it to defeat bulky Water-types. Lastly, Lapras's Ice typing gives it a weakness to Stealth Rock, which limits the number of times it can safely switch in, while its mediocre Special Attack leaves it walled by specially defensive Pokemon like Celesteela and Alolan Muk, even with Choice Specs.
