Lapras is a | Lapras is a {{wp|marine reptile|marine reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|plesiosaur}}. It has a blue hide with darker blue spots and a cream-colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curled ears. It has a long neck and four flippers. The foremost flippers are larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs. | ||

Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant instead, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it can understand human speech. Lapras has [[EP113|been known]] to travel in large pods across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|the seas}}, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with others of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. Lapras usually sing when it is in a good mood. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras can develop psychic abilities such as telepathy. In [[Alola]], Lapras is used as a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Lapras Paddle, Alolan natives use Lapras to travel and [[Fishing|fish]] for Pokémon in the water. | |||
Lapras | ===Forms=== | ||
Lapras has a [[Gigantamax]] form. | |||
As Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes larger in size and more armored. Its shell resembles a cruise ship or ocarina with four gray and red stripes surrounding it, and it has four spikes on top of its shell with one steel spike resembling a funnel, which has three red clouds surrounding it. The sclera in Lapras' eyes change colors to white, yellow, and blue. A light blue ring of fine thin lines resembling a musical sheet created from ice particles circles around its shell. | |||
5,000 people can ride on the shell of Gigantamax Lapras for a very comfortable ride without any issues. Lapras can use its giant ring to break any icebergs that may prevent it from swimming. According to [[Oleana]], Gigantamax Lapras's shell is not part of its body, as the shell has a logarithmic spiral structure.<ref>''[[TW05|Assistant]]'' — [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]</ref> | |||
Gigantamax Lapras is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Resonance}}. | |||

* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and {{mdc|Chatot|2}} came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this. | * {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Explorers of Sky]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the [[Hidden Land]].

The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Adventures]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras, La Pris and La Prus, in an avalanche just as the {{pkmn|Egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into [[time travel]], setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{adv|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[GS Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time. The child Lapras first appeared in ''[[PS143|Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa]]'' and the parents appeared in ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]''. | |||

Lapras | Lapras may be based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in {{wp|Scotland}}.

Lapras (Japanese: ラプラス Laplace) is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, Lapras can Gigantamax into Gigantamax Lapras if it has the Gigantamax Factor.
Biology
Lapras is a marine reptilian Pokémon that resembles a plesiosaur. It has a blue hide with darker blue spots and a cream-colored underside. It has large brown eyes, a short horn on its forehead, and tightly curled ears. It has a long neck and four flippers. The foremost flippers are larger than the hind. On its back is a heavy, gray shell covered in blunt knobs.
Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water. In the past, its docility made it an easy target for hunters, and it was driven to near extinction. Recent protection efforts have seen Lapras become overabundant instead, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it can understand human speech. Lapras has been known to travel in large pods across the seas, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with others of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. Lapras usually sing when it is in a good mood. In the anime it was shown that Lapras can develop psychic abilities such as telepathy. In Alola, Lapras is used as a Ride Pokémon called Lapras Paddle, Alolan natives use Lapras to travel and fish for Pokémon in the water.
Forms
Lapras has a Gigantamax form.
As Gigantamax Lapras, it becomes larger in size and more armored. Its shell resembles a cruise ship or ocarina with four gray and red stripes surrounding it, and it has four spikes on top of its shell with one steel spike resembling a funnel, which has three red clouds surrounding it. The sclera in Lapras' eyes change colors to white, yellow, and blue. A light blue ring of fine thin lines resembling a musical sheet created from ice particles circles around its shell.
5,000 people can ride on the shell of Gigantamax Lapras for a very comfortable ride without any issues. Lapras can use its giant ring to break any icebergs that may prevent it from swimming. According to Oleana, Gigantamax Lapras's shell is not part of its body, as the shell has a logarithmic spiral structure.[1]
Gigantamax Lapras is the only known Pokémon capable of using the G-Max Move G-Max Resonance.

When Wigglytuff explored the Brine Cave and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. During the player's exploration of Brine Cave, the partner's Relic Fragment resonates with a painting in the deepest part of the cave, and this summons Lapras. Lapras ferries the player, the partner, and Grovyle to the Hidden Land, along the way telling the story of what happened when Wigglytuff and Chatot came to Brine Cave. Later, after the player defeats Dialga at Temporal Tower, Lapras will be waiting at the beach and can ferry the player and the partner back to the Hidden Land again. There is no limit to how many times Lapras can do this.
- Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon: Lapras runs the Lapras Travel Liner, which allows the player to visit other continents in the world. After the completion of the main story arc, Lapras will be recruitable after the player has established 100 connections.

Major appearances
Ash's Lapras
Lapras made its physical main series debut in The Lost Lapras, where Ash and his friends saved a young one from a trio of thugs, and then again from Team Rocket. Ash caught this Lapras and mostly used it as transportation between the islands of the Orange Archipelago. It was returned to its family in Viva Las Lapras. Ash's Lapras became the leader of the herd in their appearance in Lapras of Luxury.
Lapras herd
In Viva Las Lapras, Ash and his friends located Lapras's school off the coast of Tarroco Island. However, the group wanted nothing to do with Ash's Lapras and they swam away. Later, Ash's group rescued the school from Captain Crook and his crew of Pokémon poachers, and Ash's Lapras subsequently returned to the herd.
In Lapras of Luxury, Ash and his friends met Naomi, a marine biologist and Lapras expert, near New Bark Town. They also re-encountered Ash's Lapras and its herd as they continued their annual migration from the Orange Islands to the Johto region. Ash's Lapras became the leader of the herd after it defeated Team Rocket, who were attempting to snatch the group. The Lapras herd later left to continue their migration.

Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the Johto saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture Celebi and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the GS Ball containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, La Glace, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.

- Lapras is one of two Pokémon to use telepathy to speak to humans in a regular episode of the anime. The other is Ralts.
- In Generation II games, a Lapras icon represents Lapras, Seel, or Dewgong at the party screen.
- In Generation II games, when any Pokémon except Pikachu uses Surf to travel over bodies of water, the player appears to be controlling a Lapras. This surfing Lapras shares the same color palette as the player, therefore it is red if the player is male (
) or blue if the player is female (
). - In Pokémon X and Y, Lapras has a unique 3D model when surfing, whereas all other surfing Pokémon are depicted as dark blobs. This may be an homage to the Generation II surfing sprites, or Lapras's role as a means of transport.
- Lapras is the only Ice-type to have a Gigantamax form.
- Lapras can learn the most one-hit knockout moves of any Pokémon (excluding Smeargle), being able to learn Sheer Cold, Fissure, and Horn Drill.

Origin
Lapras may be based on the fabled Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as Plesiosauria, who lived between the Triassic and Cretaceous periods. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by placodonts (close relatives of plesiosaurs that lived during the Triassic period). Its intelligence, singing, and rarity can be comparable to some cetaceans, especially blue whales and humpback whales. Its long neck and robust body may also be inspired by the mastheads and hulls of Viking ships. In addition, its shell, combined with its aquatic nature and history of being hunted to near extinction may be based on sea turtles.
As suggested in Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia, Lapras could be the turtle ridden by the folklore hero Taro Urashima. This is also implied by its category the transport Pokémon along with it often being presented in various pieces of media as a form of transportation across bodies of water.
Gigantamax Lapras may be based on a cruise ship or possibly a music box or ocarina.
Name origin
Lapras may be derived from Laplace.
Laplace may be a reference to Pierre-Simon Laplace, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides. Alternatively, Laplace may be derived from la place (French for seat), referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water.
