#9 Lapras - Southern Islands (southern-islands)
Lapras is a Water-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featured in the Southern Islands set released on July 17, 1999. Its design is attributed to artist Naoyo Kimura, and it carries a themecolor of #82a4a4. The card includes two distinct attacks. The first, Gentle Song, requires one Colorless Energy and removes two damage counters from both Lapras and the defending Pokémon, reducing them to one if applicable, while also putting the defending Pokémon to sleep. The second attack, Ice Beam, costs two Water Energy and deals 20 damage, with a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon upon a successful coin flip. The card’s abilities focus on manipulating damage counters and status conditions. Its strategic role revolves around disrupting opponents through these effects. The artwork and mechanics align with the card’s thematic emphasis on aquatic interactions and elemental disruptions.
