Counters:
Lapras has quite a bit of counters. Anything with thunderbolt can KO it with ease. Porygon-Z is an instant counter of Lapras. Fighting types like Machoke, Hipmonlee, and Himoncham can make quick work of it.
Stealth Rocks can dent in on the switch, so make sure to have a Rapid Spinner Present.
So what do you think of Lapras's place in RU?
