I know this may sound like a scrub thing to ask but I play against a guy who dash attacks or dash grabs either when I'm shooting lasers or he will just approach with it like 90% of the time. If i could figure how to punish those things that would be great.

If you short-hop turnaround laser you should be able to out-space him, but it's pretty dependent on the size of the stage. If he's constantly approaching with dashing/dash-grab you should consider a counter approach from the air whether that be a down air or an approaching back air since he can't immediately up-tilt out of dash and he can't grab you in the air.

You can aerial the approach. Dair is great for stuffing dash attack, and bair and nair can also work well. If he isn't ASDIing down (until later percents) and grabbing out of hit, ftilt can work decently here too. Dashattack tends to be pretty punishable OoS if you don't lightshield and shield DI in. A well timed spotdodge can also work (it's decent vs Marth's pretty much everything because of his lack of active frames, but he might just dash dance grab you when you start doing this, and a nair at the timing of most other moves he could throw out will probably hit you).

Try not to laser at range for him to do these or too much. Try to change positioning while lasering.

Just pay attention to Armada's analysis about Mango's and Leffen's last encounter at the Genesis 4 and you will find the answer.

Mango applied an innovative laser technic.
