Lapras is a large sea | Lapras is a large sea Pokémon 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, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. Lapras have [[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 other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx|the anime]] it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy. | Lapras is a gentle, helpful Pokémon that enjoys ferrying people across bodies of water.

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 (Japanese: ラプラス Laplace) is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Lapras is a large sea 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, which is now affecting the fish Pokémon numbers in some areas. An intelligent Pokémon, it is able to understand human speech. Lapras have been known to travel in large pods across the seas, spanning both polar and tropical areas. To keep in touch with other of its kind, it sings enchanting melodies. In the anime it was shown that Lapras is able to develop psychic abilities such as telepathy.

In Pokémon Origins
A Silph Co. Scientist gave Red a Lapras in File 3: Giovanni as a thanks after saving him from Team Rocket. Since then, Red often used it to travel on water.
In Pokémon Generations
Lorelei used a Lapras against Blue's Alakazam in The Challenger, but it lost after being thrown to the floor with Psychic.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
In Lapras Lazily, Blue is seen catching a wild Lapras and giving it to Evan in a flashback that dates to around the same time as Red's first fight with Giovanni.
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 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 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 Irked Igglybuff and Curmudgeonly Cleffa and the parents appeared in The Last Battle XIV.

- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness and Explorers of Sky: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries Pokémon to the Hidden Land. 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.

- 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 is based on the fabled Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon resemble an extinct order of marine reptiles known as Plesiosauria. Lapras's shell and horn may be inspired by placodonts. 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 mast heads and hulls of Viking ships.
Name origin
Lapras is a corruption of 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. It may also be derived from lapis lazuli, a bright blue gem.
