Lapras [Reverse Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Great Encounters Lapras stands out for "Carry In," a one-Energy setup attack that grabs a Pokémon Tool, a Supporter, and a basic Energy all at once, giving this gentle ferry Pokémon a surprisingly tactical role in DP-era decks.
Artist
Collectors love this card’s illustrator credit because Atsuko Nishida is one of Pokémon’s foundational artists and is credited by Bulbapedia’s sources with work tied to the creation of Pikachu, making her Lapras cards feel like pieces of franchise history.
Card History
Lapras’s identity as a sea-crossing companion is especially memorable in the anime, where Ash’s Lapras became his signature transport across the Orange Islands after he rescued it and earned its trust.
In-Game
This card’s flavor matches Lapras’s long-running game lore almost perfectly, since official Pokédex and media summaries describe Lapras as a highly intelligent Transport Pokémon that understands human speech and carries people across the sea.
Set Lore
As a Reverse Holo from Great Encounters, this pull comes from the February 13, 2008 Diamond & Pearl expansion that introduced 106 cards in English and drew much of its lineup from Japan’s Moonlit Pursuit set, giving it that distinct early-DP collector feel.
