Pointing out Lapras vs Umbreon, helps highlight just how weak its early game is, which could use buffs too. Mostly just hope they decrease cooldowns on Ice Shard & Whirlpool. It'd be nice if there was only a 1-second uptime on Whirlpool so you could defend base much better.
Apparently many mons can take an early game buff and that would easily raise them a tier higher. Just making it easier to reach a mons good phase works wonders and can allow it to not rely on jungle and be playable at path.
Blastoise is a tortoise, Lapras is a plesiosaur, and Terapagos is indeed a turtle. Fun fact: Squirtle evolves from a turtle to a tortoise. TurTLE - SquirTLE TORtoise and turTLE - WarTORTLE TorTOISE - BlasTOISE
The Lapras nerfs were unbelievable. They killed both Water Pulse and Perish song, and upped the unite move time. I haven’t been the same ever since that day as a Lapras main.
They nerfed lapras because it did mid damage meanwhile urshifu / blaziken / mimikyu / charizard / ceruledge / dragonite / metagross can burst 2 people in 4 second and sustain arguably much more than lapras ever will and its fine in their books lol. Also pretty sure lapras passive is broken. I've got hit for 2k crit by a lvl 8 absol as I was a lvl 6 lapras and that dropped my hp by 50% in 1 hit. Isnt lapras passive supposed to allow only 8% hp dmg max / hit lol ?
man have you seen the clip from Chris Heros where he was playing chandelure and he got taxied by lapras unite all the way from mid jungle to eleki and he stole it from enemy team and got a quadra kill. because man that makes me laugh every time i see it
The moveset shown here does seem to have an overall consistently positive winrate and I often see the most recommended set speccing for stacking special attack so that makes sense.
I’ve been saying this for months. Lapras needs a basic attack range buff. Lapras doesn’t have the mobility to use her AoE moves offensively well, AND she doesn’t have the range to poke well to force the enemies to be more aggressive. The fact her range is short enough that she basically has to be melee range with all-rounders to poke as a “ranged” defender with no mobility is where I think her biggest pain point is. She doesn’t have the choice of poke or engage. She doesn’t need a ton, just enough that she can do a little bit of poking without having to engage into literally every character’s closing distance.
Could you do a Tyranitar Dark-Pules/Ancient-Power video? Its been a long while and I looked at API to see that people seem to have forgotten how to use that moveset 😅
If you werent watching this live, what are you doing with your life thats more valuable than donating your time to spragels? seriously, get it together.
Lapras is so underwhelming from a design standpoint. It’s hard to buff it adequately when both its main moves are generic aoe damage pulses. I wish they had turned its Unite move into a regular move, and just give it more utility as a defender in general. It just deals damage and heals itself, and all you can do to buff it is tweak those numbers.
Lapras gimmick was to be this mobile brawler.. you ult you crash in a team fight get into the thick of it. Do a little CC, sustain and deal moderate damage that was adding up overtime and you soaked damage with passive along the way healing with boosted... now they removed her ability to deal damage mostly so all she got left is a long CD CC and a laughable first ability that doesnt really do much.. pretty sure a mimikyu will find your water pulse laughable as it dice you to shred with its lol. Ceruledge will enjoy being that meatsack he can heal from as you simply pose no threat but an occasional ice beam bubble beam ? To be fair she lost her identity and its sad
I don't like using cooldown decreases on Lapras like Shell Bell or Energy Amp because if I use Lapras it tends to be Water Pulse which is timed to allow a boosted attack just before you use the ability again but decreasing your cooldown messes with that.
I was thinking about using this as well for Lapras, but have you tried this item set on something like muddy water/acid spray goodra, feels like that build was always held back by bad sustain and the shell bell may actually help a lot with that. Curious what you think about it.
She would need a rework or some major buff really.. As it is she has no identity.. her first ability is a joke and water pulse/perish song do no damage so they are a mean to proc her boosted and thats about it... her ice beam/bubble beam is at least good but CD is too long as it is. Her ult was interesting but increasing its CD just killed it sadly... since they killed her damage make her lean into disruption at least. Make water pulse a 0.5 sec stun and then second pulse become 2x 0.5 sec stun.. I mean its like slowbrow surf so it wouldnt be so bad ? Make perish song deal a bit more damage and slow everyone by 40/50% for 0.5 sec when hit by it ? So you effectively trap people into perish song and if your team help out you can then finish off low mons.. just that alone and 1 sec CD shaved off the beam move would probably give her enough utility and make her the tank she is meant to be. Its still gonna be All rounder meta but at least i'll enjoy lapras
qotd - i suppose it has to be lapras. slow, low damage and high cooldowns, when played properly they're still outclassed by every other defender. i know people hate on greedent and sableye but if you play them properly, they give the other team hell
Lapras needs some much needed love… they over nerfed her so bad and just forgot her meanwhile monsters like Buzzwole and Mimi get buffed lol. Anyways #Primarina4UNITE Also QOTD… I’ve been hearing people complain about the fall of Falinks so I’d say that’s my answer
I think flash Cannon is the worst moveset in this current meta and in my opinion it needs a rework. Other mon who deserves buffs are mychamp Napras pepsodent
Laprass & Blastoise are the weakest and I’d say Machamp & Garchomp also in need of some buffs. And Mewtwo y could do more damage to wild Pokémon because it’s a nightmare farming with it or trying to fight the Regi’s another Pokémon can easily steal whatever you’re trying to secure and one more hyper voice slyv needs to do more damage to wild Pokémon

Weakest pokemon in game right now is Sableye bar none. Defensive stats that are in line with long ranged attackers, very low hp for the role it needs to play, other pokemon can do it's job much better while doing good in there own roles, it's unite has more of a chance to fail than it does to work and sustain is so much better to have in your support slot that it's a waste to bring it anyone else if they can't do damage or have another good trait about them. Oh and it's attack stat is so bad that it's almost not worth talking about.
Falinks, Duraludon, Sableye and Goodra are the most useless and bad Pokemon right now. Falinks gets countered hard by different pokemon and Timi killed it with nerfs. Duraludon is too squishy, has no mobility and too many other attackers can do the same thing better. Sableye is plagued by bad players that just try to score points the entire game and it's way too weak in terms of hp, attack potency and move sets/unite move. Goodra is the worst defender, has no CC, terrible moveset/unite move. And Goodra is the worst defender by a mile. Terrible unite move, no CC and horrible move set.
Sableye is just high-skill and annoying if you use it right i wouldnt say its bad. Goodra is not bad , it literally cannot die 😭. İdk about Duraladon but Falinks is BAD 😭
2:25 seeing that side by side really put it in perspective... hoooooly

So true, me too, same sad story

I still go full damage Lapras and been doing quite well last 3 seasons with it, it has got me to masters frequently.

@@jakiru8783 telling you man, and people asking for buffs is going to make it broken again, but hey fine by me.
@@15OgLoc haha, i'll admit i'm one of those but always give the caveat of nerfing its overall damage. wouldn't mind another lapras meta either though
It needs a life buff not a damage buff.
Its gotta be machamp bro 😢 hes been struggling for a minute
Do you have a unite squad already?
ngl i think it might be Lapras, although Blastoise has been struggling too. And the only reason Goodra is doing ok is nobody knows how to counter it
Yes we do with cursed items

Yeah it's range is basically the same to Goodra which is melee
I mean, I still have my time to shine with current lapras (my defender main btw). So definetly will try this build

weakest mon has to be dura i guess, no matter how much you try it has no niche, it gets outclassed by every single thing.
Dura has to be one of the most useless pokemon right now. It's also sad to see how far Falinks has fallen off too
@@Christo_Trismegistus falinks is currently struggling with a bug
You said dura is being outclassed, right? That means he has niches too, just other mins did the niches better. Maybe you can list them out?
They definitely overdid it with Duraludon nerfs but Gyarados still gets to shred objectives like it’s not 10 times better lol
