Biology

Biology · design and origin · 1 form

Lapras have gentle hearts. Poachers drove Lapras to the point of near-extinction, though recent protection regulations have instead made it an overabundant species. It loves transporting people on its back, and can actually understand human speech thanks to its high intelligence.

Lapras will sing with other Lapras as a form of communication, or by itself when happy.

Design & origin

Lapras is based on the Loch Ness Monster and the plesiosaur, and in early versions of Red and Blue was named "Ness".

WaterIceWater Absorb Shell Armor Hydration

BST 535

Gigantamax Lapras' shell has a striped pattern and resembles a cruise ship and an ocarina, and has a ring of fine, thin lines hovering around it resembling a musical sheet, accompanied by ice crystals in lieu of musical notes. Its signature G-Max Move is G-Max Resonance.
