Lapras Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Lapras #35 is a Rare Holo from the original XY expansion, and Bulbapedia notes it was first released in Japan as part of Collection Y before arriving in the English XY set.
In-Game
This card’s Hydro Pump directly references a move Lapras can learn in the video games, while its flavor text is lifted from the Pokémon X Pokédex, tying the card closely to the Kalos era it debuted in.
Card History
For many fans, Lapras is unforgettable because Ash’s Lapras became his first catch in the Orange Islands and served as his main sea transport during that adventure, giving the species a strong anime legacy beyond battle alone.
Artist
Illustrator Hitoshi Ariga is a longtime professional artist whom Ken Sugimori invited to work on Pokémon X and Y, which makes his Lapras artwork feel especially connected to the generation that introduced this card.
Cultural Impact
Lapras became so iconic in the anime’s Orange Islands era that it even inspired the Japanese ending theme “Riding on Lapras,” a rare sign of how deeply the species resonated with fans as a symbol of ocean adventure.
