Bringing any of those Pokemon along for the ride will help you get the upper hand. Laparas is known to be quite a tank, so even if you have some super powerful Pokemon, you’ll need to inflict a pretty hefty amount of damage to it before it finally gives up. If you’re needing extra candies or items, you may be needing to spin more PokeStops and catch more Pokemon. There are a few great ways to do that, including the Pokemon Go Plus, or getting your hands on an Auto Catcher device, which will allow you to spin and catch without even opening your phone!
