Lapras (Japanese: ラプラス Laplace) is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Physiology
Lapras is a large sea creature which resembles a plesiosaur. It has four flippers, however its front ones are notably longer than its hind flippers. It has a long neck, and large black eyes. It has unusual curled ears and a short horn in the middle of its forehead. Its body is largely blue, while its underside is a light cream color. Its most distinguishing feature is the heavy shell on its back, which is very dotted with blunt knobs.
Gender differences
None
Special abilities
Lapras can sing Pokémon and people to sleep and can carry Pokémon and people on their backs. Some Lapras are able to develop Psychic abilities such as telepathy, like the one belonging to Santa Claus or Satoshi's in Pokémon Zensho. Lapras has the rare ability (among fellow Template:Type2 Pokémon) to wield Electrical attacks.
Behavior
Lapras are a social Pokémon, and swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, this has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind. They are highly intelligent, and have been said to be able to learn human speech.
Habitat
Lapras live in cold waters in glacial regions. They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Lapras first appeared in Holiday Hi-Jynx. This one helped Ash and co. reunite a Jynx with Santa Claus.
In The Lost Lapras, Ash and co. saved a baby Lapras from a trio of thugs, and then again from Team Rocket. Ash captured 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 made a return appearance in Lapras of Luxury.
Pryce of Mahogany Town owns multiple Lapras in Nice Pryce Baby.
In Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl, multiple Lapras appear when Crystal whistles.
Solidad also owns a Lapras.
In DP091 Aoi used a Lapras in the second leg of the Pokémon Triatholon.
In the manga
The most notable role of Lapras in Pokémon Special was being one of the Pokémon of Pryce. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras 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 Poké Ball containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, Hewger, 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.
In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of Krabby tormenting it. Like in the anime, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the Orange Islands saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it.
In the TCG

Game data
NPC appearances
- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries people 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. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to their presence by the marking and took them there.

Trivia
- Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness," derived from the Loch Ness monster, but it was changed before Pokémon Red and Blue were released.
- It was once speculated that Shellos was to be a pre-evolution of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be Template:P2.
- Lapras can learn three of the four one-hit-knockout moves. The only one it cannot learn is Guillotine.
- Lapras is one of the few Generation I Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with Farfetch'd, Kangaskhan, Pinsir, Tauros, Aerodactyl, and Ditto.
Origin
This Pokémon is based on the fabled Loch Ness Monster in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the plesiosaurus. However, Lapras does not have the plesiosaurus's long neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence and rarity can be comparable with some cetacean. It does resemble Dorrie, a plesiosaurs like creature from Super Mario 64.
Name origin
Lapras's name seems to be a corruption of its Japanese name, Laplace. The name may be a reference to Pierre-Simon Laplace, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or also from the French word la place, referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. Its name might also be derived from Lapis, a bright blue gem.
In other languages
- German: Lapras
- French: Lokhlass - This name is a corrupted combination of Loch Ness and Laplace.
- Korean: 라프라스 Rapeuraseu
