General Prestiger: Lanturn = Vaporeon + Jolteon

Base stat: STA/ATT/DEF
- Lanturn: 250/146/146
- Vaporeon: 260/205/177
- Jolteon: 130/232/201
Lanturn has the endurance of Vaporeon and a medium firepower.

Moves: Fast/Charge
- Lanturn: WG, ChargeBeam/HP, Thunder, Thunderbolt
- Vaporeon: WG/HP, WP, AQ
- Jolteon: TS, VS/Thunder, Thunderbolt, Discharge
So a Lanturn has almost all best moves of those two.

Water and Electric are super effective against Fire, Ground, Rock, Water and Flying, so Lanturn will be effective against Dragonites, Rhydon, Tyranitars, Gyarados, Vaporeon, i.e against most top defenders.

A level 30 Chinchou will evolve into a ~1600-1700 CP Lanturn, ideal for prestiging.

One more + point for Lanturn is it only counts for one slot in our poke box

What do all of you think?

I've even using a charge beam thunder Lanturn for ages and he wrecks water types. Bulk AF too. Sometimes he can clear 2 mons (with heavy dodging) at only 1221 CP

The one glaring difference is his attack. His defense is also lower. He is alright as a prestiger, but I don't love him. Charge beam is really annoying. It is just too slow for its damage. I actually prefer wg over cb, even against Vaporeon. Water/electric is not an ideal combo as one of those is NVE against the defender.

He does fine in his role, but I prefer Tangela and Megneton over him.

Also, just to nit-pick, electric only does normal damage against Dragonite, not SE. Water is NVE against him.

I am lucky to have 3 Lanturn with high IVs over 1600 WP. Two of those have pure electroc moves and the other has WG/HP. I prefer the electric ones, since I have Vaporeon and Starmie for prestiging with Water, but those two are phenomenal prestigers, esoecially against those HP Gyarados. You will be able to prestige two 2800 CP Gyarados with one Lanturn. I don't have a pure electric Magneton, so I can't compare, but Laturn restisting Water is huge.

IMO the most difficult thing with Gyarados right now is dt. Magneton obviously doesn't have the bulk, but resists dt and kills a lot quicker. HP on Gyarados is really the least of my worries because most of them don't have it...and if they do, I dodge it (at least after the first time :) ) I actually use Golem and Rhydon to prestige against Gyarados, just to give you an idea of how not worried about HP I am.

Oh, side note...I would probably take Lanturn over Magenton if both have charge beam. Spark/discharge is the moveset that makes the difference.

i caught a lanturn around 650 (WG/HP) and I used him to prestige against steelix and he killed about 90% of him.
