Lapras Card Facts & History
4 facts about this card
Card History
Lapras from Great Encounters is a rare DP-era card whose unusual attack, Carry In, searches three different resource types at once—a Pokémon Tool, a Supporter, and a basic Energy—giving this peaceful sea carrier a surprisingly tactical role in deck setup.
Artist
This card was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, one of Pokémon’s foundational artists, which gives the card extra collector appeal because her work is tied to the franchise’s earliest visual identity.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text echoes Lapras’s long-running Pokédex identity as a Pokémon intelligent enough to understand human speech, reinforcing why collectors often see Lapras as one of the gentlest and most story-rich Water-types in the series.
Set Lore
Because Great Encounters was a Diamond & Pearl expansion centered on Sinnoh-era legends and released in early 2008, this Lapras feels like a calm, classic Kanto presence tucked inside one of the DP era’s more myth-heavy sets.
