How to Build Every Type of Habitat

Lapras may only be befriended by undertaking the Swimming Time request from Piplup. Approach Professor Tangrowth and ask him about learning how to swim, and he will suggest finding Lapras.
The Tropical Seaside habitat will be made available, so go ahead and build it by the seaside and wait for Lapras to appear!

Befriending Lapras and fulfilling its request will unlock the Surf ability, which lets you swim in water, allowing you to reach previously inaccessible areas!
However, you must first clean 80 tiles of mud for Lapras to teach you.
