Lapras is an incredible Pokemon. In Generation 1 it has a diverse movepool and great stats. I expect this "challenge" to be fairly easy and part way through I decided to try to beat the game at a low level.
Thanks for making me aware of some errors in the video. I'm going to step up my script review and research process so that I minimize these errors in the future!
1. Overlay has an error. It says Special Defense 95. This is the combined generation one Special stat. Lapras has 95 base Special in generation one.
2. Bubblebeam or Body Slam vs Raichu. Wasn't aware electric doesn't resist water, thanks for the feedback. If we examine the numbers I still think I made a sensible choice. Bubblebeam gets STAB: 65 x 1.5 = 97.5 power, Body Slam doesn't: 85 power. Raichu has 55 base Defense and 90 base Special in generation one so I figured the 12.5 power advantage that Bubblebeam would be negated by Raichu's stat distribution. Body Slam has the additional chance to paralyze.
3. Ice Beam or Bubblebeam vs Giovanni's Rock/Ground Pokemon in the first fight against him. I was completely wrong here. Bubblebeam is the correct choice 65 x 4 x 1.5 = 390 (Ice Beam: 90 x 2 x 1.5 = 270).
