>>29950119Agreed. Ice is just a genuinely good typing to attack with, and even if you bring a resist it only serves to negate the STAB. Along with its sheer bulk and its water typing patching up a few weaknesses, Lapras is simply one of the best.
Snorlax is certainly up there in terms of raw bulk, but since it doesn't resist anything besides Ghost, it's easy to just pick something with a fast attack to dodge all its fast moves (that are unSTAB'd) and it usually goes down just fine, but Body Slam is definitely the best charge move since Hyper Beam takes forever to shoot and Earthquake is good but not great.
I can definitely see where people are coming from in regards to Exeggutor since Confusion packs a punch and Seed Bomb can come from anywhere with little to no preparation time, but I've found Gyarados to be great against it since it's neutral to grass and gets pseudo-STAB on Bite. Its bug weakness can be exploited but a good bug is hard to come by.
My personal nemesis will always be Vaporeon with Water Pulse, though. Water Gun means that any fast attack that needs more than 1 second to use won't be able to dodge its next move, and Water Pulse requires so little energy that odds are you'll unleash your charge move thinking your safe and then eat a third consecutive Water Pulse. I hate that water doggo.
