Would you have preferred having a Lapras tanking for you, or do you know?
I've got a great GMax Lapras raised, but I'm worried about that ice typing. My Blastoise is okay, but it's been neglected in favor of others...

Lapras takes super effective from ancient power, neutral from fire, and neutral from flying. So ideally you will want a water type that can at least resist the fire moves. If you can reroll the moves infinitely, crazily enough *Excadrill* can do wonders here as a tank, if you manage to get Sky Attack and Ancient Power as he single-resists flying and double-resists rock moves. As a bonus, you can have rock slide as a charged move and actually deal decent damage (+energy) with a charged move! Downside is of course that he will not be able to deal any decent damage with his actual max moves, but then you'd use G-Kingler/D-Inteleon/G-Toxtricity/etc. in the max phase and just use Excadrill for soaking/guarding/healing.
I'm not sure though, maybe Lapras' insane HP makes up for the typing being bad.
