Everyone vote for lapras or face the apocalypse!
|
Kinda sad that Shifty isn't going to win but I will be happy with whoever does tbh. All of these are fine choices.
|
Lapras it is! So, are we making any typing changes?
|
Lapras needs a typing change badly, Water/ice doesn't do much for it. I'm gonna nominate Water/Fairy. Water should be kept since, you know, it can't go on land(and I doubt the design team is gonna change that trait).
Fairy would be a nice add-on to fit how elegant it is. Fairy is also connected to mythos, and Lapras is based on the loch ness monster. It's a great defensive typing for bulk, and lastly... it's a pun on Lapras being a ferry. A Fairy ferrry. You know you love it. |
I can't help but think that Water/Dragon would be a good fit for Lapras since it seems to be based on Nessie or a plesiosaur kind of thing.
|
I think Water-Psychic would be pretty great since it takes away its SR weakness and gives it STAB on Psychic. Not to mention Starmie and Slowbro have that typing, and I'd say their careers have gone pretty well.
|
I thibk Water/Fairy or Ice/Fairy would fit a M. Lapras
|
Seconding Water/Psychic. I think Dragon would also be more suitable, than Fairy.
|
Water/Dragon or Ice/Dragon.

Lapras is such a majestic Pokemon, so either Water/Fairy or Water/Dragon suits me (with Dragon being slightly more fitting). However, what do you guys think of adding the Flying-type instead? I remember Lapras flying in Explorers of T/D/S and I reckon some great designs could come out of that typing!
|
Water/Fairy is not a bad idea in theory but afaik, Lapras doesn't even get Fairy moves so it would be rather useless. Water/Psychic is probably the best typing for it as it gives it some nifty resistances as well as taking away it's weakness to SR. Lapras is also blessed with quite a few good Psychic moves such as Psychic and Zen Headbutt(it gets Dragon Dance so maybe we could go down the route of turning this thing into a physical attacker?) Water/Dragon makes sense too but is honestly a bit boring IMO.
|
I vote for Raichu.
|
I really like the reasoning with Water/Psychic, it really would help a lot but I'm very partial to Water/Dragon and would love to see what would come of that typing for it.

"Some Lapras are able to develop Psychic abilities such as telepathy,[5] which makes them able to understand human speech." Since the above and also has psychic moves, just slap water/psychic on it. PS: What the hell, just slapping fairy/dragon for basically resistances is just plain stupid imo. |
The poll is up!
|
I can't believe I missed this thread until now. Pretty happy to see Lapras being voted to go up next though!
I voted for Water/fairy, simply design-wise speaking I see it being more water/fairy or water/dragon over anything else. Ice type needs to be dropped over water, I just don't see it staying. :'( The issue is, though, what Castform brought up. Fairy type would be a waste if Lapras doesn't even learn any fairy-type moves? :/ |
I've been swayed to the Water/Psychic side. So much good reasoning to me and I love the potential possibilities for it!
|
Voted Water/Psychic for obvious reasons
|
Voted for Water/Dragon, Water/Fairy, Ice/Dragon, and Ice/Fairy. I just don't see making a slightly better Starmie or Slowbro(depending on if we go sweeper or bulk) very fun. Water/Flying could be cool design-wise but I fear a typing like that would doom the mega.
|
I gave my votes to Water/Dragon and Water/Psychic. Apart from being the best fits mythos and design-wise I think both make for really good type combinations and compliment Lapras' movepool nicely.
|
fairy makes zero sense, mega Lapras stay water or water/dragon, thats very obvious.
|
I say hitmonchan
|
Water/Dragon and Water/Psychic as I have mentioned. Fairy simply does not suit it.
|
Mega lapras should be water and ice/psychic
