It does not evolve into or form another Pokémon.  Though this Pokémon is highly intelligent, and has the ability to understand human speech, humans drove it to extinction. It is said Lapras tends to sing mournfully to seek the attention of the few of its kind remaining. Lapras has the high HP for a Water type; three abilities, that being Shell Armor, Water Absorb, and Hydration.

However, Lapras is not fast at all, which conquers most of its trump cards and abilities. As well as having a weakness against Electric, Fighting, Grass, and Rock types

5. Gyarados

GyaradosGyarados is a Water, Flying type Pokémon. Its first introduction was in Generation 1, claiming the name of Atrocious Pokémon. This name is not for show, as it is said when Magikarp evolves to Gyarados, its brains cells experience a structural transformation.

This mainly caused its wildly violent, vicious nature. Gyarados can be obtained starting at level 20. It can Mega Evolve to Mega Gyarados using Gyaradosite. This pokémon’s strong suits are Attack and Special Defense, which mainly compensate for its rather low Special Attack. Claiming two abilities, Gyarados has Intimidate and Moxie, a hidden ability.

It runs across lands with gracefulness, and it has the power to purify dirty water. Suicune strong suits would be Defense—115—and Special Defense—115 – as well as HP. It has one special ability—Pressure.

Suicune is quite useless against Electric and Grass types. Though it is said it runs gracefully, in battle, it’s not that fast, nor powerful in attack, so it’s best used as a shield

Yet, Palkia is not very effective against Dragon and Fairy types, as well as having a low HP of 90.
