Gigantamax Lapras's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Gigantamax Lapras Max Battles

G-Max Lapras is in a strange position as a Gigantamax Pokémon. It has two 0.5-second fast attacks in Water Gun and Psywave, which let it fill up its Max Meter fast. And G-Max Resonance is the only ice-type G-Max Move that will be available unless they make more Gigantamax Pokémon in the future.

However, Lapras is also not an attack-weighted Pokémon. It leans more towards defense and HP. As such, it works solidly as a tank, with a large HP pool that can help heal its allies with Max Spirit. It will be competing with Blissey and Zamazenta for your attention as a defensive tank, though. Especially since the other two have better defensive typings. As such, Lapras is only good for a unique niche where you need a tank that can also dish out reliable ice-type damage.

    Gigantamax Lapras FAQ

    How good is Gigantamax Lapras in Max Battles?

    Gigantamax Lapras ranks #3 out of 11 in the Ice-type Max Battle attacker ranking, in A Tier.

    The score is damage from one Max Attack, not DPS. A real boss’s Defense and weaknesses change the damage and may change the order. This ranking does not estimate total battle time, faints or team performance.

    Compare the best Max Battle attackers by type

    Which moves should Gigantamax Lapras use in Max Battles?

    Recommended moves

    Max Attack damage determines the ranking. When movesets deal equal damage, faster Max Meter generation breaks the tie. The recommended Fast Attack therefore helps charge the meter; it is not necessarily the hardest-hitting Fast Attack. The charging comparison uses the same neutral target.

    What does the asterisk beside a move mean?

    The recommended movesets above do not include legacy moves.

    An asterisk marks a legacy move, which may require an event, an Elite TM or another special method. Some legacy moves cannot be taught with an Elite TM.

    Why do some attackers use a Fast Attack of another type?

    For Dynamax Pokémon, the Fast Attack normally determines the Max Attack type; Hidden Power produces Max Strike. Gigantamax Pokémon have a fixed G-Max Attack. Crowned Pokémon and Eternatus also use fixed special attacks. Changing their Fast Attack does not change that attack’s type.

    How are these attackers ranked?

    The default ranking uses Level 40 Pokémon, perfect IVs and level-3 Max Attacks against a neutral target, with no weather boost. Only released Pokémon are included.

    Should I build only the highest-ranked attacker?

    No. This list helps choose damage dealers. A Max Battle team can also need Pokémon that resist the boss’s attacks or restore HP. Use the boss’s Max Battle counters page to compare attackers, tanks and healers for that encounter.

    What are Gigantamax Lapras’s strengths and weaknesses?

    As a Water and Ice-type Pokémon, Gigantamax Lapras is weak to Electric, Fighting, Grass, and Rock-type moves.

    What is Gigantamax Lapras’s maximum CP at Level 40 and Level 50?

    Gigantamax Lapras’s maximum CP at Level 40 is 2641 CP and 2985 CP at Level 50.

    Can Gigantamax Lapras be shiny in Pokémon GO?

    Gigantamax Lapras can be Shiny in Pokémon GO ✨.
