#12 Lapras - Southern Islands (si1)
Lapras is a Water-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It was first released in the Southern Islands set on July 31, 2001, and is illustrated by Naoyo Kimura. The card’s flavor text describes Lapras as a gentle Pokémon capable of understanding human language and allowing riders to travel on its back. Lapras has two attacks: "Gentle Song" and "Ice Beam." The "Gentle Song" attack uses one Colorless energy to remove damage counters from both Lapras and the defending Pokémon, then puts the defending Pokémon to sleep. The "Ice Beam" attack requires two Water energies to deal 20 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. Lapras has no resistances but is weak to Lightning-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its themecolor is a muted green, reflecting its aquatic theme.
